To Each Her (or His) Own: Skin Chemistry
Have you ever purchased a fragrance that was wonderful in the store, or on your best friend, but when you tried it at home it didn't mix with your skin chemistry? Each of us is unique, and so is our skin chemistry. This is explained in Fabulous Fragrances II:

"Just as the sound of a symphony varies when performed on different instruments, a fragrance differs when worn by different individuals.

"Why? The answer is varying skin chemistry. Diet, acid balance, medication, skin oil, pigmentation, mood, and environmental factors influence how a fragrance develops on the skin as well as its staying power. You may notice a change in the way your favorite fragrances smell if you have changed your diet, moved to a new climate, began taking a new medication, or if you are under more stress than usual. Perhaps you have become so accustomed to your regular perfume that you simply can't detect it. This is called olfactory fatigue. If so, ask friends before you put more on–it may already be strong enough. It might also be time to experiment with new fragrances."
