When I buy ripe strawberries and put them in the car, they smell
wonderful. If I then leave them in the car while I do more shopping,
the car smells like garbage when I enter it again. In perhaps ten
minutes, the delicious strawberry smell has concentrated itself
enough to be disgusting. The strawberries themselves haven't
changed, and when I take them into the house, they again smell
delicious. Obviously, some component of their scent is pleasant only
when dilute.
