We smell because of particles in the air. Air currents , due to people moving about or fans in the room. carry the particles across the room and the nerves in your nose detect them.

What is a real life example of simple diffusion?

Perfume. If you spray any type of perfume in one area of a room, soon you can smell it at the other side of the room. When first sprayed, the perfume is highly concentrated in one area. Then diffusion kicks in and the particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until it there is an equal concentration throughout.


When you open a bottle of perfume why can you smell it from the other side of the room?

everything is made up of particles- the air, and every gas, liquid and solid there is. that includes your perfume and the air around it. the particles in gas are very spread out, allowing more particles from elsewhere to diffuse around them, and possible mix with them. As perfume is sprayed, the particles will turn into a gas, colliding and mixing with the air particles. As the particles in gas are far apart from each other the particles from the perfume are allowed though the particles, spreading out (diffusing) all over the room. The particles are obviously scented, so that's that. Hope that makes sense...
