Why Do People Smell by neolboy(op): 1:07pm On Apr 07, 2025
There is a unique smell attached to individuals.

I have seen where a mother identify her son's shirt just by smelling it. while everyone has a unique smell, some smell are bad and purgent.

There are some people immediately they enter into a place the atmosphere changes drastically, some smells like onions, some like garlic some people's mouths smell like beans. Someone said body odour or mouth odour is as a result of poor body bath and mouth wash when one's is still a baby.

I know how hard i fought my younger sister when we were growing up when she was getting addicted to eating of raw onions, I believed she will always thank me for that.

To me i was told that when a baby is not properly and thoroughly washed when given birth to causes body odour

What do you think causes strong body odour and mouth odour.

This has been debated on Nairaland. Do a deep dive for the answer.

It is a myth that only babies improperly washed possess body odour. If such was true, oyibos would’ve long stolen the technology during colonialism and patented it.

A majority of humans smell. Our unique smells contain pheromones. The odours are also a way to identify if someone is infected. Some people smell like onions, some like goats left to wander under the afternoon sun and some smell like blood. Blood was the weirdest body odour I ever came across. Thank God for antiperspirant. One doesn’t need to know how offensive his/her odour is. Spray the thing and smell fresh for hours. The best odour I ever smelt from a human being was fertility. I don’t know how to explain it, but the woman smelt fertile. Anytime I got a whiff, it was an instant turn on. Unfortunately, she was my friend’s girlfriend.
