Hello. I wonder if anyone can answer a possibly dumb question - it's a matter of settling a dispute. Does a frequently sniffed flower have less fragrance than one that is not sniffed? A friend of mine insists that roses at a convenient height for smelling always smell less intense than ones that you have to go out of your way to smell. He thinks that with each sniff, some of the fragrance disappears and is not replaced. I don't agree. If anyone has any knowledge (or even an opinion) about this, I'd be interested in hearing it. Thanks in advance.

That's so funny. Ask your pal if an often-smelled cat turd also gets its odor sucked out of it by noses.
