I think it’s diet dependant. I notice there’s a distinct change in my body odor when my diet contains a great deal of onions and spices and a general acrid scent that’s somewhat evocative of funky cheese.
I have two perspectives to this. I once had several male Indian roommates and I honestly don’t remember them having a scent beyond “male”. I could pick up turmeric from one of them, but I think he used a turmeric toothpaste.
I’m white and afab (not on t at the time) and a decade after having those roomies, I had a half-Indian friend tell me I smell like her dad lol. I think curry odor might just stick to clothing, I make it a few times a week so I’m sure my whole house smells like curry to outsiders at this point
I’ve noticed after a workout a balls scent, but I’ve never thought of onions, spices and cheese.

What have you been eating lately? 🤭
My dad once told me Curry has that effect and that’s why Indian people stink.
He was also kinda racist tho so that might not be true.

It varies, but I eat a lot of vegetables (especially garlic and onions) and chicken. But, I drink a lot of coffee.
