What Causes Distinctive Body Odor?

I have an acquaintance that has a distinctive smell about her. I do not think it is a perfume of any kind but it is quite strong. I remember that a girl I knew in high school always had an odor. Is there some sort of condition that causes this odor? It is strong!
