I always smell a grapefruit like body odor on some women, what is it exactly? It’s not pleasant nor unpleasant

[Anonymous]

is it only on women? I think I've smelled a citrus-y kind of smell like that on people before and not just on women but men too.

Funny, I think code smells like cat urine sometimes

Coffee not code

Op here. I do believe it is a body odor smell. Unless as one PP mentioned, there is a popular grapefruit body spray. But it’s not a pleasant scent to my nose.

Career in public service and I think I know the grapefruit odor - there’s also a distinctive earthy, vaguely milky odor I detect on Asians, typically Chinese men.

Figured out quickly that a colleague is an alcoholic - perpetual rank odor emanating from pores and hair - worse in morning.

Then there’s the cigarette smokers. Not standard freshly lit cigarette smell but a deep, carbony stale smell.

First cold snap of the season means the elderly are getting their winter coats out of moth ball storage and I’m gagging. Makes no sense but this is the odor that is my undoing.

I’m happy that my sense of smell sucks after reading this.

I’m a super smeller too. I wish there was a way to monetize it to offset the difficult parts LOL Anyone watch the Apple series “Drops of God”? That’s all I’ve come up with so far…

My friend in college had a smell that is similar to what you’re describing. Found out eventually that she a) ate a ton of vegetables and b) was bulimic. After she sought treatment, I didn’t notice the odor anymore.

I recall when I was BF'ing, I would take supplements (fenugreek perhaps?), to increase milk supply. An effect of the supplements (a fairly widespread one) was personally smelling like maple syrup.* It wasn't unpleasant but it was definitely noticeable. If this herb can have such an impact, I am sure that other herbs or diets can also have a substantial olfactory effect. So perhaps research diets, OP!

*Also, weirdly, from time to time I feel like I smell like maple syrup again... perhaps fenugreek or some like plant was in a recent restaurant meal or something, who knows?

Op here. This is actually on trend with the beauty/body care YouTubers for sexual purposes to smell like maple syrup down there. As strange as it sounds, it’s very common to supplement with the Fenugreek for that purpose now, not just BFing as it was years ago.

Interesting about the bulimia. When I was in junior high, I had an eating disorder (didn't eat.) My mom would give me cash to buy school lunch but I would just pocket the money and wouldn't eat, and she could always tell when I didn't because she said my breath smelled "fruity" if I hadn't eaten.

Because your breath turns sweet when you have low blood sugar. Tell tale sign from T1 diabetics. My sister had a seizure from low blood sugar once and the EMT knew immediately what it was because her breath smelled fruity and sweet.

P.S. Hope you're feeling healthy and well now.
