I am not sure showering, bathing or adding perfume will help, as it is a natural secretion that will keep secreting over whatever!

How do you know it's the people?
The upholstery on the seats has had loads of bums squashed on it , and sticky messes from Saturday night revellers soaked in.

No, it’s from the head sitting in front of me! Honestly, it’s a distinctive smell!
