Is perfume a form of a gas?

Perfume and cologne are liquids in a closed bottle. When sprayed, it breaks into small droplets of liquid as it travels through the air. At this point it is a liquid and cannot be smelled. Rubbing the perfume into the skin causes the skin to absorb the liquid. Because the perfume is volatile, the liquid then slowly evaporates. At this point it is a gas and can be smelled. Note that some of the liquid quickly evaporates to gas during the spray, which can be smelled.


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.

When a perfume bottle is opened some liquid changes to gas and the fragrance spreads around the room. Which sentence explains this?

Perfume is made up of alcohol, water and perfume oil (fragrance). Alcohol acts as a base that mixes the oil, and also acts as a volatile ingredient to help the perfume molecules evaporate and spread in the air. Perfume fragrances are particularly detectable by the human scent receptors, even in very minute concentrations.

What happens to the perfume after it dries?

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).
