The biggest case of 'garlic smell' was some friends of mine who were
my house guests had gone to an Italian restaurant. One of the
restaurant's specialties is a whole head of roasted garlic served with
some olive oil and good Italian bread. You squeeze the garlic on to
the bread like toothpaste and dunk it in the olive oil and maybe some
salt. It's wonderful to eat, but
whew,....the next day they both smelled. I walked into their room
and said "did you guys go to Lombardi's last night?"

They were astonished, thought I was psychic or something!! ;-)
