Amab enby here, taking E but no anti-androgen. The changes were noticable in the first week, but I don't have the words.. they should have sent a poet. XD
Like, how does one even describe girlsmell? I've always appreciated natural body odors in that all-too-brief period between the fading scent of their last shower and the sour tang of going too long without, but language never seems to do justice to something so fundamental...
Anyways, I caught the first hint of changes to my scent within a few days of starting on E. There was just enough girlsmell on me to trigger a memory of one of my partners and I took note of it immediately. That new part of my scent picked up while my boysmell gradually toned down over the next couple of months, though it is still present 'cause of the lack of anti-androgens. So I've ended up with a mix of both that I've decided to call enbysmell. I've also found that my body odor doesn't build up as quickly as it used to, absent exercise.
I am so curious about enbysmell!
I am AFAB and considering really low dose t. I have very, very (weirdly) little body smell and I can hardly stand scented deodorant, I'm wondering if it'll freak me out.
I wish I had some way to share it over the internet. XD
Me too!
