What glands of the skin function as scent glands?

The glands of the skin that function as scent glands are primarily the apocrine glands. These glands are located in areas such as the armpits and groin and secrete a thicker, milky fluid that can produce body odor when broken down by bacteria on the skin. Another type, the sebaceous glands, also contributes to scent by secreting sebum, which can carry pheromones. Together, these glands play a role in producing the unique scents associated with individuals.
