Old People Smell... Do You Dread Getting It?

Apparently, as we get older, our bodies go through a chemical change and we get the ‘Old People Smell’.

I don’t think, l have got it yet but apparently, there is a cure for it!

Is it something you ever think, or worry about?

Must admit, I've not given it much thought. What's this cure you mention?

Art are you supposed to be able to smell yourself ?
I suppose it must cross our minds ...well some of us anyway . ....why do we use perfumes if not to smell attractive ?
I would say it’s something I might come to worry about yes ,and hope not to cause offence to anyone in my vicinity .

Old people have a particular smell?
So do babies and it can make the eyes sting something rotten.

Heh heh..I bloody well hope not..as long as I can have a shower every day and wash My clothes after wearing them,clean My House regularly,then I won't worry about it.

HAHAHA, I walked right into that didn't I.
Think I should be ok as I tend to smell a bit of chlorine from all the swimming I do. Even a wash in the shower after doesn't fully shift it. Then of course I do it all again the next day..

From what I can gather it's supposed to be grassy, greasy or musty and nothing to do with poor personal hygiene.

The Japanese have come up with a soap containing natural Persimmon Extract. The tannin in the fruit eliminates Nonenal (old people smell)

I don't appear to smell, I would soon be told if I did.
