My brother said something similar "I never shampoo and my hair doesn't stink".

My wife and I informed him that his hair stank, and that we had to launder the pillowcase immediately after he stayed over because it stank up the room and adjacent hallway the day after.

OP got used to his BO, I promise you the people around him know he does not use soap.
