Girlsmell is actually fucking magic. I grabbed some of my dirty underwear from the bathroom to put in the laundry and just sniffed it randomly. And my god. My knees actually stopped working for a few seconds :3
I was lucky I was snapped out of my muskdrunk state, by collapsing into a pile due to said knees.

I read ABO but I have never written it and yet recently I was struck by the image of omega Steve whose parents acted disgusted with his presentation and assumed that maybe? He smelled bad? His parents were betas but they had noses so when they seemed grossed out by him it must be true, right? So he buys every scent blocker on the market to cover it up and pretends he is a beta and no one really believes it but they don't question it either.
And maybe his natural scent gets stronger, the hormones pumping fiercely, when he is playing basketball or fighting for his life or under other stress so all of the kids know what he smells like because.. that's Steve. But they don't talk about it because he's embarassed.
And maybe after the spring break from hell when alpha Eddie wakes up in the hospital after being dragged back to life he can trace the scent that haunted him in high school, petrichor and old books, to the guy sleeping in a chair next to his bed.

Pros of individuals having scents: you walk into a building and it feels like home instantly. It's not just the place - it's the people. Even if everyone is out, there's that tangible sign that they've been there.
Your support network can go with you anywhere, just let everyone wear your jacket for a minute before you go.
Bringing the smell of home with you by packing a pillow or something soft.
Come back from school or work or a long trip and go face down in your own bed for instant comfort.
The experience of growing to like a scent more because you associate it with a trusted friend, or your favorite coworker, or your family (whatever shape that takes).
The variety of scented everything would be even wider, and custom scent blends would be even more fun to play around with.
If it's due to people having stronger olfactory senses in general: congrats, now you can smell your pets and each one is different and you know it when they've made sure you smell like them before you go out for the day.
The lingering smell of hugs on your shoulders after a fun visit.
Cons of individuals having scent: someone walks past you, and you have to fight not to cover your nose. It isn't gross but it's wrong or too much.
Concerts and stadiums and parties would be 10 times as overwhelming.
You can never escape the awareness of that person in your apartment complex that you dislike.
Smelly gamer cave scent knocking people out at a 10 foot radius.
Discovering that the scent of something you used to feel neutral about, now reminds you of past negative relationships.
Wanting to stick your nose in something because it reminds you of people you like, but oops, you're allergic to the actual item.
Wax melts smell even better but are still forbidden snacks.

My aunt is very sensitive to strong scents (buys my deodorant so that we know it won't harm her, because other than a couple brands, they give her migraines, we don't have scented candles, and I have a couple of perfumes, but I never wear them), so we're super careful there, but we also can't go into some stores because the perfume counter is Right There. When we go shopping, she knows to look for me in the candle aisle because I'll stand there sniffing each candle and giving a review to whoever is with me at the time

people swear the tower of terror has no specific smell to it like they think it's just hydraulic fluid but brother as someone who had to sniff sonny eclipse's fumes for multiple hours a day for 8 months and also rode spaceship earth like 5 times a week that is NOT hydraulic fluid smell
i've also heard it claimed that it's mechanical oil but the smell is specifically in the lobby and in the hallway scene so if that's not a pumped in smell idk what it is. it smells like perfumed mustiness it's absolutely delicious but no one has ever recreated this accurately for a candle or anything
