Sometimes I wonder if that “old people smell” I remember as a kid was a disease they had. I mean they trained dogs to sniff cancer, maybe my spectrum was wider and has since narrowed?
No joke, I have a few of these trigger-smells, and one of them is a specific shade of sewage fragrance, the kind that comes back from canalisations on a hot day. Takes me back to around 8 years old.

Not quite a disease, but it is true that as you get older your body chemistry can and will change; which can include how you smell.
