3 smell: "To smell" is to use the nose to detect a scent or fragrance, or to have an odor. "To smell great" is to have a pleasant odor. You might tell someone that they "smell great" if you like their perfume.
4 girls: A "girl" is a young female. Girls like it when boys use nice perfume.
5 wearing: "To wear (perfume, clothes)" is use or "put on" (perfume) or "to be dressed in" (clothes). Note that it is an irregular verb: wear / wore / worn.
6 down: "Down under" is an informal expression which describes Australia and New Zealand (or sometimes just Australia). The term comes from the fact that these countries are located in the southern hemisphere ("below" or "down under" many other countries).
