What You Eat Can Affect Your Smell! 
Have you ever wondered why you smell the way you do? Each person has a unique body odor ? like a scent fingerprint ? that quietly influences one’s attraction to another. This personal aroma is shaped by genetics, hormones, mood, and even personality. Though we can’t do much about those, one major factor we can actually control is diet. What you eat can change how you smell to others and how appealing that scent is.
There may be some exceptions, but fruits and vegetables make people smell better overall. A 2017 Australian study found that those who ate more colorful produce gave off sweeter, more floral scents and even had warmer, healthier-looking skin due to carotenoids ? the pigments in foods like carrots and papayas.
