In "The Secret Life of Bees," Lily smells every perfume bottle in an attempt to connect with her mother, who she believes to have also been fascinated by scents and perfumes. Lily uses this as a way to feel closer to her mother and experience a sense of comfort and nostalgia. Smelling the perfumes also serves as a way for Lily to navigate her emotions and memories surrounding her mother's absence.

Perfumes are made of oils and alcohol. Because of the nature of the oils used they are volatiles. Perfumes are mixtures of several oils and over time these can diminish at different rates over time due to evaporation. Is your perfume OK? Check it. If it doesn't smell good in the bottle, don't put it on. If it does smell good in the bottle, put a small amount on the inside of your wrist and give a smell. Let it sit for a minute and smell it again. If all is well, use it. If not.. well, you will know what you will smell like. Also, perfume is a somewhat personal thing. Because of different body chemistries a perfume that might smell good on one person may not smell all that great on another person.
