Best Answer

Perfume and cologne are liquids in a closed bottle. When sprayed, it breaks into small droplets of liquid as it travels through the air. At this point it is a liquid and cannot be smelled.

Rubbing the perfume into the skin causes the skin to absorb the liquid. Because the perfume is volatile, the liquid then slowly evaporates. At this point it is a gas and can be smelled.

Note that some of the liquid quickly evaporates to gas during the spray, which can be smelled.
