Answer:

Ionic compounds have very strong forces holding them together, so the molecules wouldn't easily "break off" and float in the air, which is what you're smelling when you smell perfume.

Hope this helps

Answer:

Greetings to everyone!

The straightforward answer is that Ionic compounds are not used in perfumes because too they are non-volatile and have high melting and high boiling point.

Explanation:

I would like to furthermore add to this thread that ionic compounds have high melting and high boiling point which definitely do not allow to use it in perfume as they will require too high a temperature to break them from their respective lattice structure and then diffuse off in the surrounding. In addition to, ionic compounds having high melting and high boiling point, they are considered to be non-volatile due to their inability to evaporate/diffuse into the atmosphere like many other liquids used in perfume making such as, alcohol.
