I noticed it myself for a few weeks early on, but it resolved itself in the end.
If I recall what I've read from Art & Science correctly, it's a side effect of your body adjusting into ketosis. When your ketone levels first start to ramp up it's a combination of acetoacetate and betahydroxybutyrate (BOHB). The former is chemically similar to acetone and so explains the smelly breath. But once you're fully settled into ketosis the mix becomes more BOHB-oriented, therefore less acetoacetate, therefore less smelly breath.
So it pretty much just takes care of itself over time.
