@@hinoron6528the person that is smoking in a crowded area is ignoring the right of people of not having to breath in his passive smoke, that is surely harassment.
Japanese and Korean people have specific variant of the ABCC11 gene that reduces the production of smelly sweat. This variant limits activity of the apochrine glands, which are said to produce sweat containing proteins and lipids. However, a Japanese person with the ABCC11 gene variant will have less active apochrine glands and thereby sweat less. Less sweat means no bacteria-producing body odor.
@@KingOfGaymes We east asian just sweat less, but white dude got more muscle mass and denser harder bone, blacks African got more stamina and better Agility. You guys got better racial perk😅
it’s not just the amount of protein. east asians sweat differently, so it’s gotta be genetic. my husband is half-asian and devours meat on a daily basis and doesn’t stink no matter how much he sweats. i’m white and i’m definitely stinkier. but yes, can confirm that for three years i’ve been in japan i haven’t smelt too many sweaty people near me. if anything, i’m probably the nasty sweater during unbearable summer months 😂
the proteins you eat have nothing to do with the proteins in your sweat. They also aren't the real reason your sweat stinks, it's the bacteria on your skin.
@@AveryBui1402 she’s absolutely correct. It has nothing to do with what we eat. It has everything to do with bacteria. That is the reason why there are new products called Lumi look them up.
Yes that's what happened to me. When i joined in a lab for my PhD research, most of the lab members are Koreans or Koreans-Americans. I come from a country in which wearing a strong parfume is considered as normal, i brought that culture to my lab. In less than 1 week i joined that lab, someone told me that other members felt distracted by the strong smell of my parfume, so i was suggested to not wear parfum whenever in the lab. Then from that day, i have never been wearing parfume 😅 even i was so cautious when picking body lotion so that it didn't have strong smell that distract them
Thank you so much for being so willing to change for others! I am not distracted per se but strong odors are really unpleasant to me and I would struggle to tell someone it bothers me because it is normal in my country. I wish they would think about other people being bombarded with all these smells and appreciate that you were so considerate of other peoples' requests!
@@mymelody0119there is nothing wrong about lasting long, it just shouldn't be intense. Parfume is made to last long and smell nice, not to annoy others noses. Soft, fragile scents can last for a day, too, and true parfumes even change how they smell (twice). I don't know why, but many people tend to live easy & fast so using strong smells is probably the "best" for them / advertisement told people it's good
If this is useful, you may want to "water down" your favourite perfume by using a perfume atomiser spray. Add half purified water to half perfume ratio or whatever that is suitable. Basically turning a parfum to a body mist ratio or eau de toilette ratio. Hope this helps ❤
@@richardmurphy555 ohh thank you so much for the tips, I didn't think about it. Unfortunately, after someone told me about the parfum issue, i gave my parfums away to my friends 😅
That's how perfume is supposed to be used everywhere, just to lightly scent the air immediately around the person. Not pouring the whole bottle on yourself.
Right?? Men's perfumes were alright, but the women's selection I personally found terrible. Very sugary, very flowery, I found them tremendously vomit inducing. I also like vanilla in my perfumes as it makes the scent powdery, but not in friggin' August heat my ladies
@@MandatedReporterVanilla perfume is waaay too sweet on me... It depends on individual body chemistry. I prefer light florals like rose or cherry blossom or jasmine. I actually did find a lot of popular Japanese perfumes too sugary...
True! And just take a stroll down the streets of Ginza and you'll get a good waft of the Japanese diet coming from the sewers. This video sounds like an overly dramatic PR plug for Japan. Trying to save face. It's an ad.
Japanese not using heavy perfume? The horrendously sweet perfumes women (yes, women, not teenagers) there use beg to differ. It's unbelievably potent and smells as if a gummybsar melt.
That most people connect bad smells mainly to not being the hygienic sucks for those without the gene that reduces smell. It doesn't matter as much for us foreigners, but it is not fun for locals that are born without this gen.
as indian, we do not use perfume no matter how much we stink. body odor is very well tolerated here, and most people do not shower or brush teeth because no runnig water. because of this, deodorant can not cover our body scent so no one uses it except really rich people.
A lot of them have a specific gene that stops them from smelling. Those who don’t have the gene cause have the gland that causes the odor removes from their armpits.
@laughingvampire7555 your not supposed to use perfume as deodorant or a way to substitute taking a bath, perfume is supposed to be lightly worn on clean skin
@@ukelillyMerino is great. I have switched all of my socks out for Merino wool and have Merino base layers for cold weather, have pants and a mid layer shirt, as well. It is amazing how little it smells compared to everything else after a day in it.
I'm very sensitive to all smells - "good" or bad. even my own. I feel like this would be great for me, as i hate being bombarded by tons of over powering scents when I'm out in public.
Same, once I smelled perfume I immediately switched breathing through my mouth, or else motion sickness + heavy smell will make me vomit. Candy/sweet fragrant is much tolerable than flowers tho.
Same here, some odors make me puke, even perfumes, especially the musky ones, heck even incenses. Just a wiff and it's enough to give me a strong headache that wouldn't be gone for half an hour, at least.
@@hassanalbrahim2623 have you actually smelled them? Like drop all your sensitivity bs. Tell me you never smelled an unbathed middle eastern man in your vicinity ever in your life.
I’m American, and I can’t go in Lush. It’s overwhelming-almost nauseating. I take a seat on the opposite side of the mall corridor when my daughters go in.
Currently in Japan, they eat just as much protien if not more than back at home. It’s not lack of a good protein diet, it’s a genetic thing that has been passed down over generations of Japanese ancestors.
Must be a nightmare to live in Japan if you have a medical problem that causes you to smell bad... Skin ulcers, difficulties with colostomy bags, even digestive problems... It's fairly well understood that some medications can cause one to sweat excessively (and some people just sweat 'excessively' anyway), but a lot of people don't realise that the way some medicines are metabolised can 'come through' as a bad smell from the skin, in much the same way as garlic, booze, and pork, only moreso, even on a freshly washed body. Good hygiene will help prevent skin problems and is of course simply considerate when using public transport, and in the workplace, especially in a crowded country like Japan; but even clean humans naturally smell - we are biological beings, after all. I think it's something we've all gotten a bit too uptight about - but then, it's big business, isn't it?! We literally have a visceral and emotional reaction to smells, especially bad ones! As such, one can hardly be blamed for being disgusted by the smell of, say, rotting flesh; evolution has made us that way for good reason, and nausea is nausea! However, any condition that causes a person to 'exude' such an odour is likely very painful, and while it is possible for a certain type of person to become impervious to their own B.O., someone who smells because of a genuine medical condition will almost certainly be very self~conscious of being 'offensive', and find it shameful. The _last_ thing they need is one of these 'princess' types who has never smelled anything 'icky' in their life loudly making assumptions about that person's presumed lack of hygiene, or, God forbid, spraying them down with some product like 'Impulse' (do they still make that?) or 'Lynx', as I saw being done to an unfortunate elderly lady on a bus a few years ago!
I’m so sensitive to strong perfumes. I was at the grocery store and this woman wreaked of this strong musky perfume. I held my breath whenever I passed her.
@@Snowshowslow to be honest, 9 out of 10 perfumes I smelt on the streets are pretty sweet and pleasant as sweet perfumes are commonly found, easily accepted and are cheap. Even the uncommon ones are not bad smelling. A particular race from a country has odour on their body. Not sure why only the people from that country have odour that I can smell from miles away and they smelt the same and im thinking maybe it’s due to their food or religious beliefs that they rub oil on their body, I’m unsure.
This especially sucks for me because my skin is sensitive to colognes and I naturally sweat heavily due to family genetics. Deodorant and thorough showers only do so much.
I use benzoyl peroxide (acne) wash on my pits bc I got sick of deodorant staining my clothes. It works great! I did this on the advice of Dr. Dray, a dermatologist on RU-vid. You can even carry benzoyl peroxide wipes with you just in case. I did find that the bp can cause clothes and towels to fade, too, but I still like using it. Fading is better tha gross yellow deodorant stains.
it’s actually very hard to buy deodorant in japan and in korea and if you do it’s very expensive, because their people’s sweat don’t stink. like another comment said, they have a specific gene that makes their sweat basically odorless. it’s why you see a lot of foreigners who come home to visit stock up on deodorant from home because otherwise they break the bank buying it where they live now, or have to deal with being stinky bc they can’t find it. i’m actually very jealous of them for this, i wish i could sweat endlessly and still not smell 😅
Actually when I was in Japan and Korea, many of the taxi drivers smelled awful. BO would hit us immediately upon entering the vehicle. It happened more in Korea than Japan. However, there were still some stinky encounters in Japan nonetheless. Walked past many people who smelled like moldy damp clothes that weren’t properly dried mixed with unpleasant sweat glands.
Seems like propaganda, i smelled much more locals in japan than in wast/ east europe and north europe together. So im skeptical about their cleanliness. Especialy when i saw the towns in japan... nobody can tell me they are clean... the towns i saw in europe were heaven compared to the cleanliness in japanese towns. Was quiet shocked.
They complain about fabric softener too. A larger percentage ofJapanese are also genetically more sensitive as well. My daughter got the sensitive gene from my husband's side of the family. She cant stand loud noises, almost any type of clothing except Uniqlo clothes (material is softer and gentler on her skin), and strong scents annoy her. My sis in law is the same. A lot of Japanese are sensitive to air pressure too. My husband and daughter are very sensitive to air pressure. They get horrible headaches and sleep a lot when air pressure drops.
I am part inuit, so I must have lots of fish and meat. I can only eat certain fruit and veggies due to being aloric to a lot of them. I can't have gluten bread, or milk. I'm also part Japanese, native American and white 😂. But I must have some meat and when possible fish.
@@brexitgreens not very well. Tares apart the insides, but when you are hungry you will fill your belly! Art is beautiful to the soul as food is to hungry belly!
Bruh imagine have perfume and deodorant that actually lasts in the first place I wash every day and don't even smell that much when I sweat but it just lasts 2 seconds when you put it on 😭
I was pleasantly surprised that it doesn’t matter the time of the day you ride the subway the majority of the people smells like they just came out of the shower and smell like body wash and shampoo.
It's not necessarily the decomposing proteins, it's particular bacteria. And MANY are fueled by sugars (which the US diet is absolutely exploding with). But yes, totally agree diet is key in health and hygiene.
The ironic thing about this is that people smoke inside in many businesses and their homes. Really hard for me to adjust to living here. I have walked right out of a restaurant after walking in more times than I can count.
I love when someone walks by & 2 heartbeats after, you smell their perfume, and 2 heartbeats after, it's gone-- that ephemeral beauty a stranger kindly graced you with-- it's like seeing a firefly spark and fade
Haha, this reminds me of one of the news where a girl left Yugioh card duel event early bc the smell was too much 😂😂😂 it obviously doesn’t apply to everyone in Japan lol
Bill shit! Maybe people in the countryside don’t use cologne or perfumes often but the majority of people in Tokyo do, especially younger people. It’s been near 100 degrees, with high humidity lately and I’d say over 80% of people on the trains ARE applying expensive designer colognes & perfumes.
Sweat smells due to bacteria not protein, some people have a strong smell for lots of reasons that they have no control over such as, emotional stress, illness, hormones, some medications can cause this as well. Never judge people based on how they smell, my grandpa smells like urine everyone tells him to shower or wash his hands, he has kidney failure so his sweat and skin are full of waste product leading to "urine" smell. Its sad 😢
I’ve been vegan and healthy eating for 13yrs, and I still get body odour from sweat. Deodorant doesn’t work for me. I have to use baking soda with water, which neutralises it completely. If I forget deodorant I will get body odour. So it’s not necessarily from decaying animal proteins. (Side note and interestingly, only one of my armpits get body odour, the other lacks smell.)
Do some investigation first, as other stated already, it's not in the meat, but the genes. They eat a loooot of meat, but they also eat a lot of everything else and their food is often well balanced. It's personal preference to eat not healthy because helathy food is really afordable in comparison to US and some EU countries
😊🙏 No wonder the Kenzo perfumes have more subtle , delicate but layers of bursts of fragrances as compare to other migraine inducing alcohol based perfumes! People prefer non-alcohol based perfumes nowadays! 🌷🌿🌍✌💜🕊🇯🇵🇰🇷
It really depends on the person and how they were raised. I’m half Japanese and everyone on my Japanese side uses body perfume and some do have strong body odor. My last company I worked for in Japan, mainly everyone had smelly taco pits 😂 the guys I can understand, but even women had it and I could smell it across the room 😅 so yeah it really depends. Just don’t go overboard because I’m sure even you’ll feel sick if you put too much or a strong perfume on.
Like everything else, its not an American problem. It literally depends on where you live, travel, who youre around. Purfume isnt a norm like arm deoderant. Do japanese let out gas from time to time or hold it in for politeness?:
Couldn’t agree more. I carpool sometimes and one guy douses himself with cologne that doesn’t smell bad but it’s just overwhelming. Everything be touches smells like the cologne and it’s awful.
Well, I'm an Indian and Im self aware that if I do not use scented deodorant or perfume (rather than EDT), then I will smell like garbage 😢 So yes, I would much rather use my Hermes cologne than my own odor👁️
@@brexitgreens I smell so bad if I don't 😭 I didnt really wear deodorant at home though and my siblings would tell me to cuz I would smell disgusting. Now I use scented deodorant everywhere, problem solved 👍 My deodorant smells like vanilla, so it's also a natural aphrodisiac 😉‼️
I wonder how I would be able to visit Japan if I have hyperhidrosis, it's something that I'm very anxious about something that I'm very scared of being bullied over.
I'm just hearing from people but vegetarian could give you 🐱 smells fruity, and this one eating too many spices make your sweat smells like spices too like Indian.
Fruit like pineapple makes 🐱 smell and taste a bit fruity. Vegetables don’t make too much of a difference as long as the person showers. But very bland diets will give it a very light scent and taste as opposed to fast food and such. Ugh McDonald’s def changes the smell toward a more burgery type
One of the reasons why I hate summer is because I sweat more than most people, so obviously I probably don’t smell so great. On hot summer days, I can start sweating 10 minutes after I take a shower. In fact, a shower doesn’t really cool me off in the summer because the water tank is on the roof in the sun all day so even the cold water is warm. So, there isn’t much I can do about my sweating. People think that having a body odor is offensive but I think it is far more offensive to shame people for things they can’t control.
That's so funny-- I want to start wearing perfume, but I'm afraid if I don't remember to wear it all the time, my co-workers will think I didn't shower on the days that I *do* wear it. You confirmed my fears. 😅
It doesn't. Malaysia is a mixed-race country. It is also a tropical country much hotter than Japan. So, many people there naturally sweat more than Japanese do.
I've never used such fragrance , but of course down here in P.R is far much hotter than Japan, Japan will never reach our hot temperature 🥵 and its humid cause we got a contanst rainy cycle. So yeah we gonna smell lol.
I cannot tolerate heavy perfumes or colognes at all. I used to dread visiting a friend of my mom's because she just piled on the perfume. I could smell it across the room.
