I became aware, not so long ago, that different cultures perceive certain odors in people from other cultures (Or I should say, people who have dramatically different diets). For example, Indians frequently have a heavy oily, spicy smell.

Apparently, people find that westerners (americans, europeans) have a milky smell! Which, in general, we wouldn't notice among ourselves/on each other unless it were unusually strong. But it makes sense. Of course I'm not saying that's your problem, just an interesting observation.

I haven't eaten dairy products in the past 2 years, so I don't know what I smell like on a day to day basis, normally there's no odor (I hope). But when I exercise and get really hot and sweaty, I smell strongly weird, it reminds me of that fake movie popcorn butter chemical stuff. Which I've probably eaten that stuff only 3 times in my whole life, so I doubt it's actually that causing this weird smell, but whatever it is, I shower and it goes away but the clothes reek until I can get 'em in the wash!
