The thing is you can smell yourself. I can smell when I stink. How can you not notice that rancid smell following you is you?
That's because there's some times when you don't stink, so you've had time to learn the difference. Some people always stink, and they forget what clean smells like
When my parents bought their house, there were hoarders renting out the lower flat. when they opened the door, it smelled awful. Kids being kids, I just flat out asked one of their kids "Why does your flat stink so much?". They told me, it does not stink ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. So you can get insensitive about stuff like that.
On another note: my wife can taste stuff I cannot taste. I can see better than other folks while my hearing is really bad. So senses work differently for different humans. So while I can smell myself as well, that does not need to hold true for others.
