LPT: If you can smell yourself, other people smelled you way before you did

I think some people are more sensitive to it than others. I have definitely noticed the smell on random women standing in front of me at the checkout, and sometimes I really wish I just didn't, since I really don't care or want to knows who's on their period.

If I am around them often (female friends, partners, family members) it notice it a lot because I'm use to their baseline smell.

It smells like old pennies. When I was little I always thought I was smelling money, and would sniff my hand to see if it was from me handling change or something. Wasn't until I was a teenager and started having sex that I clued into it. Gf would tell me when on her period and I started realizing the smell was from that
