The sense of smell is intended to help people to distinguish between things that will prove to be useful, and things that are dangerous. Flowers are associated with edible fruits and vegetables, so the perfume of a flower is an indication of valuable plant life. And since flowers are part of an evolutionary strategy that involves attracting animals to the plant to help that plant to spread its pollen and/or seeds, flowers evolve to take advantage of the sense of smell. Evolution is therefore working from two directions, both the evolution of plants and that of people, to produce this phenomenon, that flowers smell good. People who manufacture perfume, then, make use of the existence of good smelling flowers to create a product which people can use to make themselves smell better. Perfumes do use some other substances besides nectar from flowers, but flowers are the primary source of perfume.

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.
