Don't feel bad about this, i had the same problem. You see i am a little over weight and i sweat alot but i found a secret. I'll share with you friend to friend. After you shower, dry off completely. Take your favorite deodorant, something with a good scent or with out scent and rub it all over you body. Your chest, waist, just below your stomach area any area that you sweat the most at. Your back. Put your favorite fragrance on and go. I don't care how much you sweat that day the deodorant that is over your body will control all odor. Also use powders and body sprays. You will be just find. Do this everyday, you'll have people saying " you smell gooood" what do you have on!! good-luck!

If it's the same person saying it every week, then just punch them in the mouth the next time they say it.
If each week a different person walks up and says "You smell" then you are probably the butt of a practical joke. Look around for a hidden camera.
If you think they are on the level when they say "You smell" then you can try the old "You do, too!" response. Or perhaps even better would be, "That's not me you smell. That's yourself, buddy."
Don't worry about it too much. It's not your job to provide delightful fragrances for others to smell. Leave that job to the girls and the fruitcakes.

who is saying it? my friends tell me that to get under my skin, because they know I'm a clean freak as well. But i know that they are kidding. And if you're being told this after a workout or a long hot day on the job, odor is normal

Everyone has a smell. It is not necessarily offensive. I think you should be OK if you are showering and using anti persp deod.
Just relax and ignore them.

You can still "smell" if you use too much cologne or have too many scents...it's not just about Body Odor.

Too much cologne maybe? Maybe you just hang around jerks with no manners.
