Can people smell their own Bo?

It would be amazing if you could sniff yourself and immediately pick up on any emanating odors, but alas, life isn't so simple. According to Lifehacker, it can be quite difficult to detect your own body odors because the receptors in your nose shut down after smelling the same scent for too long.

Chances are it's one of your biggest fears. You pass someone in the gym, the office, on public transportation and you get a whiff … body odor. You look left, you look right, but you have no way of knowing if it's you or someone else nearby. Suddenly you break into a nervous sweat, only intensifying the issue at hand: do you smell?

It would be amazing if you could sniff yourself and immediately pick up on any emanating odors, but alas, life isn't so simple. According to Lifehacker, it can be quite difficult to detect your own body odors because the receptors in your nose shut down after smelling the same scent for too long. Luckily, there's a way to reset your nose so you don't have to attempt the embarrassing arm-lift, head-duck combo in the middle of your office (you're not likely to catch a whiff anyway). The answer? Plain and simple: coffee.

According to Lifehacker, coffee is a single-scent component that acts as a palate refresher for your nose. It gives the receptors a break from what they've been sniffing all day long. In fact, that's why department stores often keep coffee beans at perfume counters (ladies take note — it's the little things that will make your next shopping spree a success). So, all you have to do is mosey into your office's kitchen, and take a quick whiff of some black coffee (and/or coffee beans). This should reset your nose, so if you do have a bit of a smell, it will be more obvious to you. While this little trick is likely to work, it won't totally reset your nose's receptors. Pamela Dalton, a psychologist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center, told The Washington Post that it actually takes a few weeks since you're likely to be pretty insensitive to your own body odors. Needless to say, showering regularly, washing your clothes and keeping your desk drawer stocked with body spray (and coffee beans) should definitely help you sweat through the summer heat smelling like an angel.
