Sweetish odor

Comments

 
Picture
​Somewhat sweet, fruity or nail polish=like odors in breath and sweat could be because of ketones, ethers, ketosis, ketoacidosis, diabetes. The intensity of odors may increase in hot weather. Sometimes pregnant women observe sweet-smell from their vagina and this does not seem to be caused by infection, at least not dangerous or easily detectable. A rare genetic disease maple syrup urine disease, also known as branched chain ketoaciduria causes maple-like smell in urine. This is because of improper metabolism of Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine, as the responsible enzyme - branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase, involved in the catabolism of branched chain amino acids, is not fully functional. Sweet smelling stool could indicate malabsorption and can be observed with low carb dieting, alcohol and other dietary modifications, also after colostomy and cleansing.  
Musky odor is sometimes identified as pungent sweet, camphoraceous and even bitter. it could be caused by glandular substances or synthetic musks with a wide variety of chemical structures. Certain types of musky smell might be early indicators of Parkinson's disease.
