my partner and i weren't expecting the scent change and they were sad that i didn't save an old t-shirt as they loved my smell before. They seem indifferent to my new smell. I'll admit it's weird to me too cuz it still smells like a stranger!

My wife liked my old smell but she likes my new smell even more
I came across some of my old clothes that i never unpacked when i moved before starting hrt and it made me realize how much my scent changed.
Yeah, you'll probably smell a lot different in all of the places and scenarios. My previous partner enjoyed my new smell a lot more
How long does it usually take for your smell to change?
Depends on many factors, like dosage of your medication and how you're taking it. For me, it had noticeably changed when I was around 3 months on hormones.
My partner has specifically told me she likes how I smell after HRT
Even the lighter smells change. I smell like how I remember my mom smelling. The stinkier elements aren't as different as the less smelly ones.
