‘We’ used to have a saying.....
Put a group together - say aboard ship - and put them on VERY restricted water hours for say 7 days and EVERYONE starts to REALLY stink ....
However, since EVERYONE smells the same, no one smells.

If you have an olfactory problem and your nose stops working that says you CAN’T smell.
The question is if you CAN’T SMELL, does that mean you DON’T SMELL???
ALSO
You must realize that once you start ‘smelling yourself’, others have been smelling you for a while.

Had to be about 3 feet from him to notice...
