hasn’t taken a bath for more than 13 years and is not smelling?

The lack of ability to detect odors is called "anosmia".

My brother has it, it has developed in the last couple of years, he's 76 years old.

A blessing sometimes but I'd hate to miss out on awakening in the morning to the smell of bacon frying, among many other great smells.
