Onion Armpit Odor? Women Smell Like Onions and Men Smell Like Cheese

Many women have asked why sometimes they smell like onions.

Please read to understand why men and women's sweat smell different and what you can do about it.

Men Smell Like Cheese, Women Smell Like Onions

Body odor (BO) is not fun, either in private or social situations. If always present, it must be dealt with daily as BO is the target of endless jokes in bad taste. A research team in Switzerland recently took a close look at how human BO is processed by the olfactory system and the brain. This research analyzed armpit sweat from two dozen men and 25 women after each person had been in a sauna or ridden an exercise bike for 15 minutes. The sweat from women contained high levels of a sulfur-(5 milligrams per milliliter of sweat versus 0.5 milligrams in men) compound that had no odor. The bacteria commonly found in armpits turn this compound into another one known as thiol that smells like onions.

Men have only one tenth of the female amount of their odorless armpit sweat compound - a fatty acid in men. When male armpit bacteria process this fatty acid, the result is a compound that smells like cheese, although men are not able to generate the highest levels of unpleasant ‘malodor’ that can be synthesized by women. The researchers found marked differences in the sweat from men and women.
