What are you eating?  Are you going like really low carb?  I tried the Atkins diet many years ago, and noticed I had some wierd odors.  I had to give up that particular diet because going that low carb, well, I just couldn't handle it and it was making me way too irritable.  Plus I couldn't stand the odor that my sweat was producing.  Plus I think my breath had a wierd odor to it as well.  

Another thing that can cause bad odor is if you are seasoning your food with lots of spices, like garlic and that sort of thing.  Some people sweat it out and that can make your sweat smell garlicky.

Also, certain medications can cause odor.  Some give you gas, which in turn can create a bad odor.  In the past I was on some meds that caused that, and I begged my doctor to switch me off.  

I guess, just ask yourself, what are you doing differently, eating, or medications that you are taking differently since you started having the bad odor.  Good luck.  I've been there before, so I know what you're talking about.  

Oh, and yeah... Dot.Calm says try soap.  Funny.  I guess you could try perfume or if you are a guy whatever perfume is called for guys.  Aftershave?  I tried that when I was on Atkins diet... perfume that is.  It didn't work very well.
