Could increased body odour be a menopause symptom despite being on HRT?

Hi, I’ve been on HRT EVORIL CONTI 50 for 3 years. I’m 58. I also use Estradiol for dryness and to stop UTI’s. All ok. However, lately I’ve started to smell a little…. sweaty? Everyone around me says they can’t smell anything, but by the end of the day I feel a bit musty? I’ve never had a problem with this type of thing and it’s really bothering me. I’ve read this could be connected to menopause. Should I up my dose of HRT?

Oh yeah, I've noticed this lately and it's particularly worse in the mornings and my nightie smells all musty even though I don't have bad night sweating, I must have without realising. I'm not on HRT. It's crap!
