Heck, even before you take into account differing xenobiologies, this has precedent on earth; different cultures are often unused to how other cultures smell.
I'm sensitive to smells and perfumes so any culture that uses them often is difficult for me. Hey are there scent suppressants I can buy or is that future tech?
There would so be a market for it, although I'd rather have the artificial odor market be killed off instead. Saves a lot of waste as well. (as the air pollution, those smells… yuck)
Hey I'm a condo maintenance guy! I swear Snelling garbage and bad smells all day has destroyed my sense of smell. If someone's wearing strong perfume it bothers me, but I can't smell bad smells or notice them

I remember a Chinese friend, in jest mind you, said that white people smell of slightly sour milk.
oh that's just the daily sour milk skincare routine

Well if it isn't Abe Simpson.
I’ve also heard wet dog hair smell.

I knew a guy who couldn’t smell anything for weeks after smoking weed. As a maintenance worker for an apartment complex, he kept that up for years.

Covid renders many people unable to smell or taste things.
It's possible since I got COVID last year, but I feel like it's been going a while for me
