    Are some people naturally smellier than others? Or do people with really bad body odour just not wash as often as less smelly people?

    certain foods like garlic can contribute to the odour.
    IIRC bacteria make most of the smell by digesting your sweat etc.
    and QI. said that animals can only smell the fear of their own species.
    research also suggests that human pheromens are tricky with several masking each other out in a sort of arms race.
