    i suspect the source of the smell being bacteria is what makes it different. like going from testosterone to estrogen you need to wait for the man smell bacteria to die out, whereas going from estrogen to testosterone it will have a big bloom and start smelling quickly, or something like that. i know for me it took a while for my scent to change, like 6 or 7 months of estrogen before i noticed anything. for a minute there i was worried i just wouldnt get the smell changes, but i definitely have them now.

      It’s funny, because I noticed the smell changes before anything else. I don’t know if I have a really good sense of smell, if I did something that helped the change along, or if I’m just built different.

        who knows its probably complicated. i know i had a pretty powerful odor before, so maybe that had something to do with it taking a while for me. i had to wash regularly and use deodorant every day or i would smell really bad. a lot of days the deodorant would barely even help, especially if i got sweaty at all.
