🍓 Body Smells Sweet or Fermented Fruity: What Are the Signs? How to Fix It Correctly?

Body odor isn’t always unpleasant, like “sour” or “stinky.” Some people have a slightly sweet smell, like fruit or fermented yogurt – which may seem pleasant, but is actually a sign that needs attention and shouldn’t be ignored.

🍬 What is a sweet smell? How to recognize it?

The sweet odor is often described as:

Ripe, fermented fruit smell (like apple, fermented banana)

Slightly sour smell of yogurt or honey

Smells of burnt caramel or light damp vanilla

👉 This odor often appears clearly in the armpits, chest, back or between the fingers after sweating a lot.

📌 Common causes of sweet odors

1. ⚠️ Warning signs of metabolism – like diabetes

When the body cannot use glucose → ketones are produced

Ketones (acetone, acetoacetate…) have a sweet, fruity, even slightly nail polish-like smell.

Sweat, breath, and urine can all have a sweet smell.

2. 🧬 Due to genetics or constitution

Some people have sweat gland activity or microorganisms on their skin that produce volatile compounds that have a naturally sweet smell.

3. 🍹 Diet rich in sugar, fruit, wine, fermented juice

These foods, when excreted through the skin (especially during strenuous exercise), can cause a fermented fruit smell.

✅ How to fix the sweet smell

  1. 📋 Go for a health check if the sweet smell appears suddenly and lasts for a long time

Get a blood/glucose test to rule out type 2 diabetes or mild diabetes

Check for ketone metabolism disorders if present.

2. 🧴 Clean and deodorize properly

Use antibacterial deodorant products to effectively control sweat

Suggest:

Breeze Dry Protection Spray: powerful, alcohol-free, for active people

Breeze Squeeze Donna: gas-free, aluminum-free spray, light scent

3. 🍽️ Adjust your diet

Reduce sweets, refined sugar, bottled juices, wine, overripe fruit

Increase fiber, green vegetables, pH-balanced foods (cucumber, kale, chia seeds...)

Drink enough water to help detoxify through urine instead of through the skin.

4. 💆♀️ Supports natural elimination

Regular exercise helps the body excrete better through sweat.

Steam 1-2 times/week to open pores and detoxify effectively

🔁 Conclusion

A sweet smell isn't always a "good smell." It could be a sign that your body needs your attention—from your diet to your metabolism to your overall health.

Don't let the scent fool you! Control it properly to stay confident and healthy every day 💪
