We had a crawl space under our last home and put couple bins of clothing- they mildewed and I could never ever get rid of the smell. That's exactly what her stuff smells like.... Just not as strong.
I will keep the door shut when she comes to visit and tell her it's yo keep pets from bothering her. I have put air fresheNets in closet, every outlet and the bath room. I have a strong candle I use when she leaves. She is clean- her house is not overly clean. Her housekeeper is 78 and does a horrible job bUt I am not sure that causes the odor. I think she just has a lot of old stuff that sits around. I really don't have any idea but it really does drive me nuts when she leaves-- bedspread and shower curtain and room in general smells like my crawl space!

Guess what OP, it could be medical. It's common for us to smell certain ways, bad breath, etc, when we're sick or have autoimmune issues etc. get over yourself.

Nice try- it ain't medical. Sometimes you just have to face the fact that you may smell old because you have a lot of old stuff and maybe you don't smell your own scent. If you smell like a stinky attic -- it's probably because your stuff has been in one or a closet or house that needs a good modern deep cleaning. Sounds like you have a medical condition of grumpitis!
