Fresh sweat doesn't smell ! It develops an odour when it starts to decompose, ie when the bacteria starts breaking down. This is begun by contact with oxygen. Same with excrement, it doesn't smell when it's still inside the body, only after it's been expelled and comes into contact with the air, then it starts decomposing.

a couple of things - one is what you have eaten which if you have had a medium strength curry, you may find you keep smelling it the next day when you lift your arm the other is bacteria which live on the skin and multiply in warm damp places. If they are not washed off regularly they create BO.

I think it smellz coz itz a body fluid on damp, dark areaz "mostly armpitz"! coz itz not just water r'somethin, itz somethin comin' outa ur body & on "your skin".. with the dampness & darkness of that area, somethin' like bacteria formz n'makez it smell.. just like food, if u leave it out the fridge too long, it'll start formin some kinda' bacteria that "when opened" ( when u open the lid r'bag 'somethin" ) a really nasty smell comez out ..
I duno really .. but thatz what I think..

fresh sweat doesn't smell as much as old sweat so it could be the bacteria thing.

It's the smell of bacteria growing on your body.
