Is it normal to like the smell of your own sweat?

Your own body smell is familiar to you, and familiar scents can feel comforting or even appealing. Sweat also smells different depending on your skin, clothes, and what you’ve been doing, so you might like some versions of it more than others.

People vary: some don’t notice their own sweat, some dislike it, and some genuinely like it. As long as the smell hasn’t suddenly changed in a strong or unusual way, there’s nothing strange about enjoying it.
