For me, and I assumed most others, the primary goal of washing is to not feel "icky", not smell.

I’m the same. I recently went on a camping trip and didn’t shower for the three days we were gone. I changed my clothes and still wore deodorant every day. I didn’t smell despite the fact that I had been sweating due to the heat, but I definitely -felt- disgusting and longed for the warm shower I’d be taking once I got home.

A skunk can't smell its own stink. Are you sure you didn't smell?

I confirmed with a third party while we were out. So either they were being polite (doubtful) or they also smelled the same and didn’t notice it.
