Heck, even before you take into account differing xenobiologies, this has precedent on earth; different cultures are often unused to how other cultures smell.

    I remember a Chinese friend, in jest mind you, said that white people smell of slightly sour milk.

    I'm sensitive to smells and perfumes so any culture that uses them often is difficult for me. Hey are there scent suppressants I can buy or is that future tech?

    I knew a guy who couldn’t smell anything for weeks after smoking weed. As a maintenance worker for an apartment complex, he kept that up for years.

    Hey I'm a condo maintenance guy! I swear Snelling garbage and bad smells all day has destroyed my sense of smell. If someone's wearing strong perfume it bothers me, but I can't smell bad smells or notice them
