Why do you stop smelling fragrances after a while e.g. room fresheners after you’ve been in the same room

For example you open a new air freshener and you smell it and it lasts for a few days but does your nose ‘get used’ to the fragrance and you stop smelling it?

Our brains tend to tune out nerve signals they receive continously. Otherwise you wouldn’t get anything done, because the feeling of wearing socks, a slightly itchy scalp, the taste in your mouth, the tiniest background noises and a thousand other small things you could technically notice would all fight for your attention and drive you out of your mind.
