from
Brown Corpus
The odor here was more powerful than that which surrounded the town aborigines.
The smell at first was more surprising than unpleasant.
It was also subtly familiar, for it was the odor of the human body, but multiplied innumerable times because of the fact that the aborigines never bathed.
One's impulse is to say that the smell was a stink and unpleasant.
But that is a cliche and a dishonest one.
The smell is sexual, but so powerfully so that a civilized nose must deny it.
