Yes it does change and to me it seems a lot stronger.

I'm noticing this as well. I'm still not 100% sure if it's my imagination or just a better sense of smell but it does seem stronger than before, also the glans seems to be a bit more moist (not much though) while before it was basically dry all the time.

Good riddance in my case.  The odor that is gone is something that I can only liken to the smell of raunchy rotting wet grass clumped under a lawn mower deck. Not freshly mown grass or hay.   

Now it is something almost vaguely perfume-like or slightly floral.

A welcome change.

Even my feet are far less stinky.  I don't perceive the typical rotten Swiss cheese smell (propionobacterium activity on fatty acids) characteristic of feet.

Steph,
   I love your very accurate smell description, but are we talking Fescue or Kentucky Blue Grass? lol

   I had gotten rid of the male smell being on HRT a while. It came back when I got off HRT for 6 weeks for surgery last year. Then it was gone after a short time with the hormones. This year same thing, off for surgery, GCS, but so far the smell has stayed. I would think it would have gone by now, especially since I no longer have Testosterone in my body. The E dose does get reduced after that surgery and  I  no longer need Spiro, so I am not sure what the cause is. The remaining beard seems to be growing faster too. Yuk to it all.

So much for Cordon Blue tonight - thanks Steph LOL

Cordon Bleu is fine on the plate, not so fine in the crotch or the feet.  And now for the question of what wine best to drink with this dish...  Probably something like a Cote du Rhone or Beaune.  the wine seems even better without your privates smelling like the undersides of a raunchy lawnmower.

Steph.

OMG, so this isn't just in my head. I thought maybe this feminine not-so-fresh odor was just my overactive imagination,  or at least just wishful thinking. I'm glad I'm not the only one to have noticed this.

So I'm not just going crazy. I started to notice a lack of BO after a few weeks and by the second month the smell down there was much different.

It stinks down there. On me or to me anyway. There is a spray for that down there. I had to buy some. By the next day just before my shower it would get pretty ripe. Never had that before. Been in hrt for a year now. So hopefully the spray works. Today is the first day I've used it so I'm the morning I'll know if it's better.

That happened with me. After a embarrassing incident I started using the deodorant spray for down there. I had just finished working out and my brother and his friends came in and sat down. I got up to get a drink and when I came back my brother said he needed to ask me something and took me back to the kitchen. He told me I smelled. I sniffed my pits and he said no it wasnt BO. I asked him what was it then and he told me I smelled like "sweaty pussy". I thought he was messing with me but he swore he wasnt and that his friends had noticed it too. I didn't smell it and I'm not sure how that can happen since I don't have a vagina to smell , yet, but he was dead serious and said it was kind of strong. So I don't know if maybe its the crotch sweat or what but I don't take any chances.

I have much the same issue. Changing your base hormone changes the composition of your sweat and other fluids. If you tuck that just makes the change more obvious. This creates an environment conducive to bacteria (many of which are symbiotic) found on women and less conducive to bacteria found on men. Eventually your personal ecology switches. Kinda nice.when you think of it.

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.
