Another phrasal verb question - "picked up"
The sentence in question is the following:
After an hour, though, the only scents that you have picked up are the sweet, sappy smells of freshly broken branches
Is the verb "have picked up" or is it just "have"
If it is "have picked up", I guess it would be a phrasal verb in the perfect tense?
