I see. I wonder if you've been phrasing this (tricky) question correctly.

For example, if you've been asking "I don't smell bad right?? I smell great, right!?" you're unlikely to get honest replies.

Reminds me of "The Mom Test" [1]. The book has a few tricks that can help with asking tough questions and receiving an honest feedback.

I asked friends which I know to be brutally honest as I was both skeptical and worried.

And you indeed smell if you don’t shower two times a day without soap and deodorant.

And even by showering two times a day you will smell the first month until the skin regulates its oil production and the microbiome is able to handle skin wastes.

Great book btw.
