The BODY would have no odor but the buildup and excreta from the pores would.

The body itself would have no odor. However, waste excreted through the skin would have an odor as would substances (dirt, oil, salt, etc) that have accumulated on the skin throughout the day.

The BODY would have no odor but the buildup and excreta from the pores would as well as bacteria in the mouth and sinuses

The nose could smell because the olfactory epithelial will catch the volatile molecule from the air. Something smells because some of their molecule is brought by the air, which enable them to land on the olfactory epithelial. If there is no molecule brought to the air, the olfactory epithelial will receive nothing and wont send any signal.
