I’ve heard this point a lot but given the fact that until the industrial age, most people had open flames in their kitchen and bedrooms so if i had to guess I’d guess most people smelled of woodsmoke.
A friend of mine in the military said when he was deployed and everyone starting stinking. He could be eating with a load of stinking guys. But he could smell if a woman came into the room.
I guess we aren’t too far removed from the animals after all.

That just helped cover the asscrack smell.
Swamp ass with hints of mesquite or a cherrywood smoke.
I’ve had some exes tell me they love the way I smell after a couple days camping, but also that I can’t touch them because I am grimy.
Woodsmoke doesn’t smell unhygienic…actually many people like the smell
I love it. Sadly it’s also carcinogenic
What isn’t…
Death doesn’t. Well, unless you’re the one doing the embalming or applying makeup or making the coffin…
Yeah I love it. Sad to hear it is. Wonder where the state or synthetic chemistry is on it
For the first few hours. Stale woodsmoke in your hair smell awful.
Back then people would stuff flowers in their shirts to cover up all the bad smells.
Spend a week roughing it, or in a cabin away from running water, and you’ll realize very quickly that smoke only sorta covers how bad humans can smell
If anything it mixes eventually and makes a whole new nasty
Definitely.
