I'm no expert, but there's a chance you're just getting used to the smell (Of course everybody is a little different and some people barely smell and others, like myself, have quite a strong smell). Which, ironically is kind of the point. I believe before deodorant people had ways to make themselves smell nicer, but I don't think they had anything that completely stops the BO like deodorant does for such a long period of time. So, I guess it kind of did solve a problem that didn't exist, because people normally would smell.

On the other hand, at this point most of modern society likes when people do not smell like BO, So I will be continuing to use deodorant.

true, perfume etc. is nothing new, probably older than cultivating plants.

chance you’re just getting used to the smell

Maybe slightly, but as soon as I'm using soap, I quickly notice stink after a short time after showering as counter-example.

I think the body just has use less fluid to nurse the skin after washing with just water, and than there's a slightly different skin-flora I think.

I sometimes use DIY deo (basically soda+coconut-oil) when I'm noticing stink, but rarely, that works quite well, while being somewhat neutral in smell.

I'm not so sure about that. Probably not a strong stale-sweat BO, but there are studies, where fresh sweat had IIRC a strong arousing effect on the opposite gender. I guess it quite depends on the BO...

I may not be the norm, but I'm somewhat opposed to most of the often penetrant deo smell. I also would consider my sense of smell rather sensitive (I hate the fumes of motorcycles and cars in the road-traffic, and often hold breath there)
