    I don’t know about her genes, but I once had a coworker who you could tell didn’t use deodorant, but in a clean, freshly-showered way. I absolutely adored her smell when we got into a situation where she was reaching up very near me. It wasn’t like the nothing or soap smell you get after a shower, but a human smell. It made me feel very content.

      That’s what happens when you don’t nuke your pits and privates with soap every day. You develop healthy bacteria colonies that don’t stink, and which compete with the stinky bacteria for resources. Water and friction is enough for daily washing. Soap is for every couple of days. Except for your hands, wash your hands with soap every day.

      Yes. There is no sour BO smell. When I’m working hard I smell like wet clothes and wet body. After a long day in the sun I smell musky.
