That's why I make sure I shower before
putting any perfume on. It keeps the scent
pure... except for your body's natural scent
mingling. Most Europeans don't wash much.
It appears to be a mostly American thing.

Some types of perfume will actually work with your bodies chemistry to subtly alter the scent to make it uniquely yours. Those are also the most expensive of the long term, vs trendy, perfumes. Zon's Shalimar is one of them. Her Mom tried some on once and it smelled completely different on her.
