Of course, it does, usually.
However, there seems to be a rather large class of fragrances that are inherently modest and somehow skirt the laws of physics. Applying a few extra squirts of these fragrances has no discernible effect. They're as strong as they are and that's all you get.
Some examples: Gendarme (all of them, probably, but definitely V), Creed Original Vetiver, Pascal Morabito Or Black, Amouage Dia for Men. These all come out of the bottle with a bang, but as soon the top notes evaporate, they recede to a fixed baseline intensity. I have the constant urge to turn up the volume just a notch. Alas, it seems impossible.
What's going on? Do these fragrances already occupy every possible scent receptor capable of perceiving them? Does the brain process certain smells differently from others? Is it just a manifestation of olfactory fatigue?
Or is it just me?
