Heck, even before you take into account differing xenobiologies, this has precedent on earth; different cultures are often unused to how other cultures smell.
I remember a Chinese friend, in jest mind you, said that white people smell of slightly sour milk.
oh that's just the daily sour milk skincare routine
I've heard that white people smell like bologna. Could never stand the stuff myself, but I can't vouch for my scent! Tangentially, I think my dogs' paws smell like salami. "Ol' salami paws", I've been known to call them.
Well if it isn't Abe Simpson.
I’ve also heard wet dog hair smell.
I'm sensitive to smells and perfumes so any culture that uses them often is difficult for me. Hey are there scent suppressants I can buy or is that future tech?
There would so be a market for it, although I'd rather have the artificial odor market be killed off instead. Saves a lot of waste as well. (as the air pollution, those smells... yuck)
Covid renders many people unable to smell or taste things.
It's possible since I got COVID last year, but I feel like it's been going a while for me
