'body odor' was popularised in thee early 20th century as a way to sell deodorant.

As a regular gym goer, what smells is /bacteria/. Fresh sweat doesn't smell bad, old sweat does. Same thing goes for urine.

Wash your body and clothes regularly, you don't need deodorant and it won't save you if you haven't washed your body and clothes.

8 hours of work in a day is enough to make your fresh sweat smell like shit.
No, past work does not change the smell of new sweat.
