The alcohol solvent and volatile oils evaporate (producing the smell) but some dissolve in the skin oils which means that some smell lingers on the person using it. Also there can be reactions with the skin's oils with some people causing an unpleasant odour after a time. (some people place the perfume in a locket to avoid this).
