Why does the scent of nice-smelling body wash disappear so quickly?

The scent feels really nice while I'm showering, but it feels like it disappears quickly once I get out.
Some people say the body wash scent lasts a long time, but I'm curious why I don't really notice it.
I'm confused whether there are separate products with long-lasting scents, or if I need to use body lotion along with them.
I'm also worried that products with strong scents might irritate my skin.
I wish the nice scent would last a long time after showering, but in reality, it lasts shorter than I expected.
So when choosing a body wash, I'm not sure whether I should prioritize the scent or the moisturizing effect.
It's actually a trivial thing, but since it's a product I use every day, I think I pay more attention to it.
I'm curious what criteria everyone uses when choosing body products.
