Best Answer

Small particles of the scented material diffuse through the air. (E.g spraying an aerosol will result in the particles diffusing quite quickly) Then, as a person inhales through their nose, some of the scented particles will be inhaled, hitting the olfactory membranes, making us "smell" something.

What makes dogs smell so well?

The skin around a dogs nose is thinner than the skin around a persons nose. The scent can go into the dogs nose so that they can understand what they are smelling just like a human can, but the scent can also go through the thin skin around their nose so that they can have two times as much of the scent in their nose which makes it easier for them to identify scents that are so similar or so faint that the human nose cant detect it.
