Been homeless for about a month. Been changing clothes normally and I clean myself with adult wipes, but have not had a shower and have been out in the desert. I have been eating fairly healthy and also I am very good at interpreting body language and emotional response in people and nobody has given me the stink eye. (Oh wow I just realized the etymology of that phrase!)
In past experience I have found I stink the worst about 3 days after a shower, but then things kind of go into homeostasis. Or I just get used to ky own funk.
Not sure what to believe. Gonna jump into a river at first opportunity.

Old smoke plus body odor is worse than body odor.
Also, be careful with the alcohol, because it can dry you out too much. Also with the hydrogen peroxide, because it will damage the skin in your mouth over time (dilute it, and don't use it every day unless you have an infection).
Citrus zest is a cheap source of antimicrobial and deodorizing essential oils.
