Like most liquids, perfumes have a low level of constant evaporation and condensation. If you left the lid alone, the perfume vapor would re-condense. However, when you take the lid off of a perfume bottle, some of the perfume vapor rises into your nasal cavities, triggering the smell.

And boys might think the smell isn't bad, but girls are the ones who where it and they \might think differently. \\ANSWER:Not a total rip off. You actually end up smelling like blood (the smell isn't bad)

Why does liquid perfume disappear from skin after applying?

Perfumes will stay on your skin as long as it isn't disturbed. It might lose it's smell after a while, but the perfume will still be there. Perfume also soaks into your skin and mixes with your body's natural oils; over time, this could mask the smell as well. Don't forget about your clothes, they can lightly rub against your skin and eventually remove the perfume in those areas. Also, scratching and rubbing will take it off. The only way that a perfume wil disappear 100% is when you bathe. Most perfumes contain alcohol which cause the liquid to evaporate.

What happens when someone opens a container of perfume?

When you open a bottle of perfume, the liquid will begin to vaporize at room temperature, and the scent will spread through the air. The smell of perfume reaches other parts of the room because gases have a high rate of diffusion. A few molecules of perfume are enough to let you detect the smell.
