Perfumes are made of oils and alcohol. Because of the nature of the oils used they are volatiles. Perfumes are mixtures of several oils and over time these can diminish at different rates over time due to evaporation.
Is your perfume OK? Check it. If it doesn't smell good in the bottle, don't put it on. If it does smell good in the bottle, put a small amount on the inside of your wrist and give a smell. Let it sit for a minute and smell it again. If all is well, use it. If not.. well, you will know what you will smell like.
Also, perfume is a somewhat personal thing. Because of different body chemistries a perfume that might smell good on one person may not smell all that great on another person.
