Why can I no longer smell my own perfume?
If you no longer smell your own perfume, it is usually not gone: your nose has simply got used to it. This is called nose blindness. Your brain filters out a scent that is always there, so it can stay alert to new smells. Others still smell your perfume just fine.

What this means for you
Nose blindness can set in within minutes, and it gets stronger the longer you wear the same scent every day. The risk is that you keep adding sprays, while the people around you already smell more than enough. So it says nothing about the quality of your perfume.
- Do not use more sprays. Ask someone you trust whether they can still smell you.
- Alternate between two or three scents. Your nose stays fresh for each of them.
- Spray a little lower, on your chest or wrists, so the scent is not right under your nose all day.
