INTRODUCTION TO BODY ODOR 

Body odor, also spelt as body odour, otherwise commonly referred to as B.O. is a term typically representing the unpleasant scent of bodily bacteria. The growth of such bacteria is cultivated through rapid multiplication as a result of interaction with sweat which is however, nearly odorless.

While most body odors are generally considered to be socially unpleasant and/or uninviting, the truth is there are actually a few odors that are either considered benign or serve as attractants (Source). Body odors thought of as most noxious are produced in the intestinal tract, the mouth, on the feet, and under the arms. Body odor has also been associated with the hair, groin or upper medical thigh, skin, genitals, pubic hair, belly button and ears (the back of the ears).
