The scent can change: The scent (or "odor" if the scent is not good) comes from the bacteria and other microbes in the vagina, plus nearby sweat, with perhaps help from a bit of urine and skin oils. All humans have a variety of scents, some better, some worse. The scents can change from time to time, and under differing circumstances. When a vaginal fishy scent gets strong, a doctor might diagnose bacterial vaginosis.
