It has something do with a bit of physics. see usually the perfume or deo is in compressed form in their containers at high pressures , so when they do come out to atmospheric pressures the perfume has to expand. In order to do this it has to push the air out of its way which consumes energy. This energy is taken the "body" heat of the perfume itself thus cooling it. its basically how refrigeration works

∙ 11y agoWhen a deodorant is sprayed on the body, the spirit or some similar solvent used in it evaporates very fast due to its low boiling point. In this process of evaporation, the deodorant needs latent heat of evaporation. As the deodorant is in direct touch with the skin, and the skin is generally warmer than the rest of the environment, most of the latent heat of evaporation is taken by the evaporating deodorant from the skin. The rate of absorption of heat by deodorant this way is significantly higher than the rate at which the body can replenish the heat lost by the skin. This reduce the skin temperature and makes it feel cool.

∙ 12y agoPerfume is based on alcohol or another liquid. The liquid evaporates, often quickly. When liquids evaporate, they remove heat from the surface they are evaporating from - in this case, from your skin. When you remove heat from your skin, you feel cold.
This is the same physical process that happens of you spray yourself with water on a hot day to cool off.

∙ 9y agoPerfumes contain a high amount of alcohol and alcohol evaporates quickly. Evaporation involves the absorption of energy and is a cooling process.

What happens if your hands are really cold and you put it in hot water?
the hot water will feel much hotter than it actually is. This is because the nerves that sense temperature feel cold or warm. Hot causes both types to fire. When your hands are cold, and you put them into hot water it can cause those nerves to fire more then they normally would. Also, if your hands are cold enough, the blood will be thickened, and the vessels will be constricted. Suddenly plunging your hands into hot water will cause the vessels to expand, sending the thickened, cold blood rushing up towards your heart which can cause a heart attack.
Why does palm feel cold when you put some perfume on it?
Acetone has a very low boiling temperature. when we put some acetone on our palm the particles of it gains energy from our palm and evaporates quickly which causes cooling.........
How can you stop from becoming your hands cold in the office. the temp. in my office is like 72 something and I feel cold because of it. Though I wear sweater but my hands feel cold.?
Thank God, I am retired now, but went through the the same thing for years. No amount of sweaters helped me. All they would do would be to make my torso sweat, while my hands remained cold. I finally started bringing a small ceramic heater to work and kept it on under my desk for as much of the day as needed. Just be careful you use a heater that is safe.
