Mmmm,
You smell like Lysol Wipes.

You see that "Arg" thing right below Urea on the urea cycle? Yeah, it stands for L-Arginine, you can get the dextro version through a largely similar cycle. It's an extremely mild neuro-toxic, pretty much a relaxing drug, a depressant, though excessive usage would actually result in additional stimulations, a stimulant.

A member of Clan Zorah, Troodon80, claims to have had personal experience with the substance as a depressant, and states that it is, in fact, addictive.

Additionally, the dextro version of "Asp" (stands for L-Aspartate), in order for it to be soluble like it's levo counterpart, it would likely bond with sodium, resulting in Sodium D-Aspartate, which is a natural performance enhancer [2], it massively increases the human body's production of testostorone, also resulting in an increased libido.

Finally, Orn, stands for L-ornithine. This amino acid allows for the disposal of excess nitrogen.
Dextro version of this is largely similar in role, except for the fact that it is far more prone to create a hydrogen bond. (Including with molecules like ammonia, NH3)
Hence, it would demobilize the ammonia and eliminate the odor eminated from the production of urea to quite an extent.

So, so far, we can tell that Tali would not smell nearly as bad as those filthy humans, her sweat's a drug and a natural performance enhancer.

As for additional odors , that would be determined by MHC's and pheromones, which are too large and complex to even consider estimating with the limited knowledge we have at this time. Though the production of MHC's is also a key component of our immunesystem, so they might be considerably less common for quarians. (They might even have something completely different altogether)is time. Though the production of MHC's is also a key component of our immunesystem, so they might be considerably less common for quarians. (They might even have something completely different altogether)

Remember, this is largely speculation, and I am by no means an expert, merely an enthusiastic amateur, so if you think there's anything you can change or debunk of my theory, be my guest. I'd be eager to learn.

I have a theory that all elves are made of plastic and they live in plastic forests.
They are pretty boydroids and they pave down real forests to make their "stainless, perfect" elven magic forests of green plastic and no animal can actually live in them.
They always seem like all of their "we live forever and love the beauty of nature" poo poo is from someone who does not go outside and also lives in a Disney Store in the mall.
gently caress elves, I'm on to their plastic poo poo.

Per D&D lore, elves do not grow any body hair, so elven facial beards and elven pube beards are impossible save for some kind of transmutation spell like Alter Self or Polymorph.

I think they call that "The Rivendell Steamer".

The real question though is does Santa let his elves bathe or use saunas up in the North Pole or are they all freezing with sore joints and smelling like wood shavings?

They technically secrete soap through their pores instead of sweat. But it's patchouli scented soap so they smell like unwashed hippies. A common misunderstanding

Elves bathe but only about once a week. They never look or smell dirty or even slightly off because they have Glamour. They can just cover it up. That's why you never see an elf with a dirty face or even messy hair.

Some elves don't bathe at all and just glamour themselves every day. But those elves are loving gross. Don't be like those elves.

Elves in Warcraft are obsessed with fountains, wells, sunwells, moonwells, anythingwells, statues that double as fountains, cities floating on water, cities surrounded by water, more water, and some of them live in atlantis

They can't not bathe even if they really don't want to.

This sounds like the start of a fantasy adaptation of either My Fair Lady or Pretty Woman, either way I think you've got a hit on your hands, let's aim for a Christmas 2021 release.

iirc if an elf repeats something you said it means they've stolen part of your soul so you should stop talking to it unless you want to be fully dominated, humiliated, and financially destroyed by a cute elf
