I used to work with a Hungarian woman who could out-throw Nolan Ryan. You could smell her perfume in the parking lot five minutes before she arrived.

I never realized this had a name! What a relief.

Also known as "throw" in perfume-speak - how far the scent extends from your body. As in "this blend has great throw" or "very little throw - I can only smell it with my nose pressed up against my wrist".
