Have you actually asked if they can tell a difference, or have they just not said anything? Because it's considered socially rude to tell someone they need to take a shower.

I've asked, but my sample size is small precisely because of the social pressures you reference.

FWIW, I typically find that people smell more attractive after not showering for a day, although there are rare individuals who are very much exceptions, and I frequently find the same is true after two days, though exceptions aren't rare.
