I saw lots of questions about BO, but none quite specific enough. This smell is on just women, mostly when they are around menopausal age. I notice it at work, & sometimes I can't get away from it, nor ignore it. It's not fishy, not the taco (BO) smell, nor is it urine or poo smell. It's not the smell women can get after having sex, either. It's very strong and sweet, a sort of chemical smell, almost like their perfume is mixed with it, but they don't all wear the same perfume, so it can't be just that. It isn't the smell of rancid perfume, either. Certain women have it fairly often, but most of us never have it. No way would I tell them they smell, but just knowing what it is might make it easier to bear. Sometimes, it makes me so angry I'd like to go home; and I try to avoid being around them all day! I work in an office FULL of women. I can smell them from 10 feet away! Any doctors here, or anybody else who can explain this strange, but very common, phenomenon?
