Latex or oil? If it is the paint, it could take a couple of weeks for the
paint to completely cure. Odor from paint might linger longer if the room
is kept closed or not much air circ. Not sewer gas, right? Didn't leave
an air freshener in a drawer, right?
Or...

cabinet since 1979
- Package of those dumb little scented soaps that people give as gifts when
they really didn't want to give a gift

I'd bet on the paint, though. Modern paints have some really
unexpected smells, and the sherman-williams stuff that I've been
using on furniture recently does smell kind of fruity.- Hide quoted text -

There are no scented items because I think those things stink (even
the candle is unscented) in the bathroom, other than the (barely
scented) liquid hand soap that was recently put in there. There is no
window to crack open sadly.

The painting was done over 3 months ago and is done in half the Smart3
Home Depot latex paint, the other being some sort of Natural
Whites(something like that) white latex paint. I've used those paints
elsewhere in the house and haven't had that smell surface anywhere
else, so didn't think that would be it. I might just give the walls a
sniff to make sure it's not the paint though.

I'm thinking It is likely it is the toilet seal as suggested, as the
toilet is older and the previous owner had been instructed to reseal
all the toilets in the house before we moved in and likely didn't do
that one. We planned to be redoing the floor and having to reseal the
toilet again shortly anyway and it doesn't appear that the house will
blow up in the meantime (haha)
