NP and this was an incredible story and completely worth the click and rabbithole it sent me down.

OP, is it the smell of actual fruit part of grapefruit or the smell of the peel of a grapefruit just as it’s been peeled or shortly after? Because if it’s the latter I definitely know what you mean. I only smell it on specific groups of people. It’s not a perfume or product smell and it’s not a cooking smell. It’s definitely from their skin. I have always assumed it was some kind of biological thing.

Similarly, I’m white and American and my ILs are all from Hong Kong and the older generation insists that [b]European people have a specific smell- not BO, not food cooking smells, but an actual body smell[/b]. I think it’s possible that we smell genetic differences in each other. Perhaps the various group’s mutations and genetics cause different levels of chemicals to be produced by the same biological processes?[/quote]

It’s milk products and cheese in the diet[/quote]
