I've got a question since I know nothing about perfume, but overtime do you just acclimatise to the scent? So that in the end it's like it's not really there?

  If you only smell it after you've sprayed it on yourself, but later on your nose doesn't send you pings that it's present, then that's a perfect perfume, since your nose can get used to it. If you are always reminded by your nose that the smell is present, then... it's subpar. But YMMV. I hate perfumes that are so strong that you literally leave a trail behind you and you can smell it all the time on yourself... and others will carry it on themselves if they spend 15 minutes with you in a room :D. When you spray these on yourself you become a pollen bearer. It's like your perfume has a social life of its own - it sticks with everyone who gets too close to you. That's why perfume reviews are total nonsense. You go, get 15 samples and try them on yourself one by one (right after a shower, just sprinkle it on your chest).

  Sometimes you get nose-blind to the scent but IMO that's not a good thing, because it means it contains something too strong. But more interesting to me is the effect that your perception of the scent will change, like it's different to hear a piece of music the first time and later. You can find new nuances, new depth, start to like it more, or less.

  I think the typical perfume user does not wear it every day, or at least the same scent every day. I certainly don't.
