This is a very interesting subject..... I also take fenugreek and have the same problem. I didn't know it, but my husband sure did, he told me i smelled of syrup but not to worry and that it didn't bother him. We'll knowing that i smelt of a waffle house, i was mortified... I tried to cover the smell with deodorant but decided that my health was more important and stuck to the stone. I tried perfume, but it made things smell worse... Then my husband told me something very valuable... "Wouldn't you rather smell like syrup than sweat??" that was encouraging!! He also told me it was a good way to make sure i kept taking my boobie stuff, because when he didnt smell syrup, he knew i was slacking.... Also: when we went to a wedding (all dressed up, smelling of syrup) one guy we knew leaned in to give me a hug and asked what i was wearing. I looked at him very weird and he said, "you know, your perfume... It smells like cinnamon syrup.... I really, really like it, where did you get it??" Well i was about to die, i was so embarrassed, but i explained to him it was some herbs i was taking... He asked what kind so he could smell like that.. lol
there has been many occasions, where (men especially) people have asked me what i was "wearing" so think of it as masking your stinky pits. I dunno... I quite used to it now and find some comfort.
Hope this helps!!!
