Question

Sir/ma'am

I wanted to ask that we can get the smell of the gaseous type of perfumes/sprays like(AXE) several metres away. Then what about the liquid type of perfumes like fogg how we are able to smell them several metres away.

Answer 1

The short answer is diffusion

In the case of the perfume, perfume is very volatile.This means it easily changes from a liquid to a gas at room temperature or on warm skin . When you spray the perfume, tiny droplets of the liquid are atomized into the air where they quickly evaporate.The gas particles move randomly about, diffusing into surrounding air , becoming more dilute as they spread out carrying fragrance.
