A study using 74 male scent donors and 797 scent raters found that both men's and women's ratings of donors' dominance based on the smell of their t-shirts was significantly correlated with the donors' testosterone level. Raters' assessment of prestige were unrelated to the donors' testosterone.

What would fancy clothes and cars be for if prestige could be determined from BO?
Lemon helps get rid of bacteria responsible for body odor
Citrus fruits, such as lemon, change the acidity of the skin, making the environment more acidic. All bacteria, including those responsible for unpleasant odors, cannot exist in an acidic environment. It is enough to wipe those areas with lemon juice.
A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
Do unsavoury armpits and bad breath make you angry? What good will it do you? Given the mouth and armpits the man has got, that condition is bound to produce those odours.Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 5, ch. 28 (2.5) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

Body odors are influenced by a range of processes, including genetics, hormonal changes, inflammatory processes, nutrition, and emotions. While body odors are perceived by humans and affect social interactions, they are challenging to describe. Previous research has utilized a limited number of verbal terms, or asked for ratings of pleasantness, intensity, or attractiveness, to articulate differences in the perception of body odors. These fail to adequately capture qualitative differences between body states. To address this, the current study aimed to create a multilingual lexicon to describe body odors. To this end, we conducted an online survey with 2,607 participants from 17 countries speaking 13 languages. Participants were asked to provide words describing body odors of individuals who are healthy, sick, stressed, or have exercised, and for body odors from different parts of the body. Those descriptions were standardized and sorted by frequency for each language. The final descriptor lists for 13 languages were used to construct a standardized lexicon for body odor words – BOW – of those terms which appear frequently across languages. The descriptors were largely comparable between countries and reliably differed between the four body states and five body parts. The final lexicon consists of 25 words, presented here in English, representing 44.7% of all descriptions. A confirmatory study in which body odors of 99 participants were described by a separate group of 170 perceivers, confirmed the BOW descriptors. In conclusion, this study provides a lexicon for describing body odors that are suitable for capturing state differences and that can be utilized in studies of body odor perception.

A really strange one about Trump’s body odor. @bitterkarella, I swear this sounds like something you made up about the Orange One. :)
Trump stinks! 🤢
Comedian #KathyGriffin, who knew #Trump during his days on #TheApprentice said that he smelled like "#bodyOdor" and cheap perfume. #AnthonyScaramucci once remarked that Trump "stinks", and #NoelCasler, a former staffer on The Apprentice who has since made a career as a comedian, claims that Trump supposedly wears #diapers.
