A side note for those that might not know and like the really fine aromatics.
There are three stages of aroma. A good perfume is aromatic oil that is dissolved in water and alcohol to help it absorb into the skin. The first smell you notice is the scent perfumed into the alcohol so that you do not smell the alcohol. The second scent is the perfumed water evaporating which blends the first smell with the oil and carries the rest of the alcohol with it. The final aroma is the oil itself and that is what you are paying for. When you shop for cheap 'Opium' spin-offs, what you get is garbage that has the first scent to disguise the alcohol and that is it. This spin-off crap is impregnated into baby oil or maybe vegetable oil, but it is not true perfume.
When you want to sample a perfume, put a dab on one wrist and then go browse the mall for an hour or so. Now smell it. Are you getting what you want? Even if it is good perfume, is it what you want? What you are smelling at the counter of a good perfumery is not what you are paying for. What you smell at the counter of the spin-offs is what you are paying for.
Even 'Old Spice'

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
