I've noticed that the odor of an object doesn't seem to wear out over time. If odor is simply molecules flying off the object into the air, why don't these molecules "wear out"? If you have something real smelly, like, a perfumed candle, it still seems to smell just as strong, 20 years later. Is the mass of this candle actually decreasing because these molecules are constantly being thrown off? Will the candle actually weigh less after 30 years? etc.
