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!
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.
