You can’t usually smell your own house (or perfume) because of a survival instinct called ‘olfactory adaptation.’ The brain is always looking for new, unusual, or changing smells as a sign of possible danger, so it ignores smells that have become familiar. Source

Jiminy Cricket was created because
Walt Disney thought Pinocchio seemed
too helpless in the film’s early stages.
He wanted a character to help guide
Pinocchio to the right decisions, so the
team designed a realistic cricket with
antennae and toothed legs- but Disney
wanted something more likable, so the
animator made him a ‘little man with an
egg head and no ears. The only thing
that makes him a cricket is because we
call him one.’ Source
