Does chemotherapy change the scent of a person's skin?

It can yes. Even after Chemo has ended. I didn't notice the change in body order until I had stopped chemo for over 1 year. I have heard of people who while receiving chemo treatments smelled badly. No one stated that I did during this time, I couldn't really tell. I was to sick.

I say yes, definitely. My boyfriend is currently in chemotherapy. He has always been one of those men that doesn't really have a scent, even when he works out, but now he very much smells like chemicals. I can smell it on myself after we've been holding hands.

It must change scent of skin because the smell of my urine has been terrible since I started chemo 4 years ago due to lung cancer. I haven't recd chemo the last month and yesterday I noticed that my urine doesn't have that funky smell?

I didn't notice this when I had the first round of treatments almost ten years ago. However, the same drugs, as well as some new ones, seem to have grossly affected my odors all over, since I began chemo for a recurrence. Fluids, breath, hair, everything smells of chemicals, and it's a strong smell, not a whiff. My laundry definitely smells chemical. This seems logical, given that the drugs have to exit somewhere, and given that my sense of taste and smell changed drastically both times. It's one of the nasty little secrets no one tells you about, and I think someone should mention it along with the warning that you will lose your hair.
