To ask menopausal/post menopausal MNers if their sweat smells weird?

I’ve just started using an aluminium free antiperspirant (Soft & Gentle) and it’s not that effective. Also my sweat smells odd, not like normal sweat. Is this a menopause thing?

I find my underarm sweat smells the same as pre-menopause, but my stale body sweat smells like old milk - it's only obvious when I open the laundry basket, because I do shower appropriately!

I sweat much less post-menopause, and so I only notice this in summer, or on exercise clothes. Apparently post-menopausal women do smell differently to pre-menopausal ones, but I've not noticed that in general.
