Answers: Please be specific. This is not homework, just plain curiosity.
The sweat encourages the growth of bacteria which colonize in the armpits causing odor. It may also be mixed with human pheromones which can smell offensive when produced in excess.
Sweat is odourless. It is the bacteria growing and proliferating that causes the smell.
Either way, I believe this is the word you are looking for.
Bromhidrosis.
