👉 Purse fumes refer to the unpleasant, often acrid odors that emanate from purses, particularly those made of leather or other materials that absorb and retain strong scents. These odors can be caused by various factors, including sweat, perfume, cologne, tobacco smoke, or even the materials themselves. When a purse is worn, it absorbs these scents, which can then be released into the air when opened, creating a noticeable and sometimes overwhelming smell. This phenomenon is especially common in crowded places like public transportation, airports, or busy shopping areas, where the concentration of people and their personal fragrances can intensify the effect.
