If I eat a ton of garlic, and you eat a ton of garlic, can one of us recognize the smell of the other?

yes because everyone's internal microbiome causes differing smell profiles
Even twins will have slight divergences due to the difference in the occupancy of time and space
My wife and I looooove garlic. We can still smell it on each other.
At university, I had a housemate who was doing research into the chemical(s) in garlic that give it its smell. She was completely nose blind to it. You also went nose blind to garlic, just by being in the same house.
Rationally I know you will smell one another but I still maintain the opinion it will cancel each other out as a joke - to great frustration of my wife
Oui
you smell different, but you still smell unique.

So... we're going to Italy??
PIZZA!!!!!!
This seems entirely testable
Years ago, my friends hosted a garlic-themed dinner. I rode a motorcycle there, and it was raining on my way home.
For the rest of my life, I will remember having to choose between opening the face shield and blinding myself, or closing the face shield and choking myself on garlic fumes.
My guess is that 2 mutually garlicked people will be able to smell each other.
