Have sex, of any kind...it reactivates the body!

Hang a young person around your neck.

Stop using soap! As crazy as that sounds, I swear it works. Your body is covered with beneficial bacteria. Soap kills them. Consider them little odor eaters. Besides my hands, there is only one small part of my body that requires soap every day.

whatever steps you take, just remember that Elizabeth Bathory was not correct in her assumptions.

What's the smell, specifically?

Chemical changes come with hormonal changes- they are most obvious in smell and hair... Talk to your doctor, or have some excellent sex. It may come from a combination of both. Find yourself an excellent doctor AND an excellent lover. It makes all the difference!

Don't let it bother you. Soon you'll be losing your sense of smell.

Keeping up on dental hygiene is also HUGE. Floss floss floss as no matter how much you brush something can be uh, fermenting in there.

At some point in our lives we begin to change. I don't know what the solution is.
Eventually we will all begin to smell like old books (and sometimes pee!) if we don't douse ourselves in cologne (which i don't think is a good solution btw)
Until science comes up with a cure for or a real delay in aging we can't smell like blooming 20 year olds forever.
Being in peri meno myself can't help wonder if not throwing off "last call" pheromones... not looking forward to the other side of that.

Considering the alternative is being dead eau de vintage book is going to have to do. Just freshen up if you're having company or going some place.

Baby powder? Heheheh

Wash with tannins. They will break down the omega-7 unsaturated fatty acids on the skin that are degraded through oxidation. It is these oxidised chemicals that cause that particular odour. Normal soaps won't help the substances are not water soluble. Our skins get thinner as we age and the fats oxidise more quickly, hence the smell in us oldies. I can notice it if I am away from the surf for more than a week,

All these folks trying to be kind or looking for some deep explanation or a folk remedy are all way off track. My best advice to youngsters who begin asking that question is, get used to it because it's not going to get better. You might also consider looking for dating material whose olfactory senses have been dulled. If you fret over it, you'll never have any personal rest the remainder of your miserable life.

Beats the alternative.

Just smother yourself in young people. Or even better, if you all have the time, marinate yourself in them.

Bathe.

A Thought....maybe you should get checked for diabetes / endocrine problems! Diabetes definitely changes your chemistry!

stop showering. embrace it.

Move to a commune where no one will notice!

Change your deodorant and bodywash
