I’ve seen a study that suggested that there’s a gland behind our ears that becomes more active as we grow older that could possibly be the source of that smell. If true, maybe older people just don’t have the mobility to raise their hands above their shoulders or just don’t wash often enough anymore. Either way, for the past decade or so I never skip washing behind my ears, just in case lol.
