Feel free to wrinkle your nose. There are a few things in this text that you might wish you hadn’t known. For example, that we are much more animal than we like to admit. That we have special sweat glands under the armpits and in the ano-genital area, which work together with bacteria to create our physical scent. That you can’t get rid of this smell – no matter how diligently you wash, scrub, spray and cream. And that body odor reveals things about us that we might have preferred to keep to ourselves.
