Oh, the smells!!!!
Not only does everything smell terrible in this heat, a new lady who just started working near me is DROWNING in perfume. She's not even that close to me, but I can smell her perfume from several offices over. AND I just heard someone else tell her "You smell nice" and she said, "Oh, it's a musk perfume that my sister gave me." Musk!!!! I know, to each her own, but ugh, I can't stand it!!!!!

To give even more of an idea of what she smells like, like me quote from Wikipedia:
Musk is the name originally given to a substance with a penetrating odor obtained from a gland of the male musk deer, which is situated between its back/rectal area.The name, originated from Sanskrit mu?k? meaning "testicle," has come to encompass a wide variety of substances with somewhat similar odors although many of them are quite different in their chemical structures.
So, she smells like, uh, deer testicles.
Completely agree!
I have always had a really good nose (I win the "which baby food is this" game at every baby shower). But in pregnancy, it's gone into super-sniffer mode. I was having dinner last night, and the bottle of salad dressing was making me crazy.
Of course, sometimes it's a weird false smell: I was trying to get intimate with DH not long ago, and everything in the bedroom smelled like apple cider vinegar to me (him included). Not very sexy.
I also think chrysalis's advice is right on.
I'm sorry that stinks! (No pun intended!)
I know how you feel, I'm a 6th grade teacher (when the kids should all be wearing deodorant but some don't) and the last week of school I actually had to ask a kid to back away from me! Very musky. Thank goodness it's summer break!
