If you are smelling your normal scent you have when you've got your period, then that's normal.
If you are smelling something above and beyond that, then there could be a problem. If your partner is female, there is unlikey to be a problem as she will not be mixing fluids with you. If your partner is male, the smell might be his sperm. (This is if you are using a form of birth control other than condoms.)
If sperm is particularly funky smelling, it can indicate that something is not quite right with the guy. It would be in his best interests to see a doctor.
