First, don't be upset or anything; don't let it bother you. Every one has an odor. Believe it or not, most people's sense of smell is not very well developed (it does not have much purpose in modern life). Don't be self-conscious about it. If it is not a joke, are they trying to make you an out-cast?
When I was a freshman in college, some of the guys were always making insinuations because they never saw me taking a shower. I do not like being seen in the shower stall, so would choose a time when I was not likely to be seen. Once they caught on to that, they quite their insinuations, but it still rankles!
Perhaps this is similar to your situation. In the meantime, check everything about your body, your perfumes, shampoos, whatever you use; your clothing to determine if there is an odor that others might detect, but can't quite figure it out.
The next step would be to associate with other people.
Remember: it is not you, so it is not your problem. It is THEIR problem!

Sometimes people will do this as a way of telling you that they like what they see, gay guys do this stuff at times, basically "sniffing around" you. Sometimes, when guys touch other guys, like they will touch your shoulder while talking with you, to see how you react, then they will try to touch your arm, your elbow, and you may think that it is that petty idiocy of trying to demonstrate dominance, however, they are really just wanting to touch you as a way of flirting.

Is it close friends that you have some kind of joke with? Is there some kind of odor on your clothing or something you might use? Do you wear perfume that smells good or bad? Ask a close friend and tell them what you have noticed.

Do you wear a lot of cashmere or material that others could be allergic to? Or maybe you just hang around a bunch of coke heads.

If you're an attractive woman (but this applies to men too), it's a case of "instant jealousy"
