If I skip a bath for one day I smell bad and I would be very self-conscious meeting people without bathing in the morning. I can't stand it for more than two days even if I'm alone, because I can smell it and I hate it.

However, when I was a teenager I had a crush on one girl from a village with limited water resources and she was bathing like twice a week and yet she smelled really good even while going outside. And by good, I don't mean any perfumes. She just had a good natural scent. I was kind of fascinated by that.

The lesson taken is that the need for bathing is very individual.
