Diet, clothes: Diet can effect odor. Also wearing very old clothes can contribute. Some clothes never fully lose the smell and although apparently okay, when you get hot the smell reactivates. Think old tennis shoes here. Also there are better products. Mitchum's is very long-acting. Just don't exceed the frequency. If still a problem, check with your doc and see if anything physical might be causing it.

Some people: have different body odors and some are harder to manage. Take daily showers, practice good hygiene and experiment with different anti-perspirant and deodorants. And perhaps you are right and your nose is more sensitive. Dont worry from a medical point of view.
