what do you mean when you say "not pleasant" are we talking "this hand soap doesn't smell like anything and that's weird and i don't like it" or are we talking "this smells vaguely of a person that exists and does things sometimes"

"This person smells overcooked."

i think i understand what you mean, but i don't think that's inherently negative, i think we've just been so aggressively primed to "smell nice" with all the artificial smells that we live in, from soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, cologne, perfume, etc...

that the "neutral" human smell is sort of "lost" to the average person.
