mikey20452ParticipantCorrection. Asians tend to smell like fish oil and peanut butter. Indians are technically caucasians, but since they eat a great deal of curry you reasoning stands. White caucasians do eat a great deal of dairy and bread so I follow your logic, but negroes tend to smell putridly sweet. I guess you could say kind of like rotten fruit rinsed with urine in a dirty ashtray. The smell doesn’t go away either, it tends to hang on for a while. Indian curry covers up with perfume, but you just can’t kill that negro scent. It leaves when it wants. Hope this helps.

BravecatParticipantI don’t know about food and diet differences, all I know that Indians smell horrible half and hour after they bathe, and the stench is unbearable. I had to share an office with an Indian girl for a month, and I quit because of her BO. Not that she was dirty, but she would smell more and more hour after hour. I don’t care what the reasons are, I don’t think it would make me feel any better if I knew it was just the curry she ate for breakfast!

zellerParticipanti think everyone got off topic. i think the point is that, generally, when you walk into the house of different people, there will be a distinct smell of pharamones or whatever else is most dominant, kitty litter, onions, whatever. but white people in north america know that when they walk into a home or place of buisness of an indian person, there is ALWAYS a strong smell of curry, OBVIOUSLY becasue of diet, but that’s not the point. i have had indian friends tell me that they feel the same thing when walking into the home or place of buisness of a white person, they smell like sour milk.

SteveParticipantI too think differences in personal odors relate to diet. I’ve had relationships with Caucasian, African-American, and American Indian women, who tended to eat the same things I did, and can’t recall any real differences among them. But an Asian woman of Japanese nationality I also dated did smell ‘different’ (not bad, just different)– a little bit like fish. She, in turn, thought I smelled faintly like red meat…

Bill-WilliamsParticipantI found whites give a rotten type of smell, blacks smell like cocoa butter because of the wax they use in their hair. I have also noticed the corn chip smell from them. Indians smell like curry because it gets all over them when they cook it, chinese smell like pasta.

to-stupidParticipantHey all races in the world smell. Black people smell bad too Indians smell rotten curry Asians smell weird Europeans smell rotten butter cheese with decomposed nut cheese. All races in the world have their own odors, so talking like whoever smells or not is really foolish and dumb

FBParticipantI have noticed some differencies in odor even though I don’t think I have especially sensitive sense of smell. Probably the most distinct difference I have noticed is between white and blacks. I think that spoiled milk smell describes to some extend the smell of whites if the odor is strong (which is often the case with obese persons, especially if they haven’t had shower recently). If the smell is less strong, it smells relatively neutral to me. But in my opinion at least white men (not sure about women) can also have musky odour. Of those black persons I have known better, they seem have ‘sweeter’ smell than most whites. If the smell isn’t very strong, I think it is somewhat pleasant, although on the other hand it makes me wonder where does that smell come from (for example, can the sweat smell so different). And it is more difficult for me to judge how recently that person has visited shower because I am not so familiar with those smells. I am not sure if the difference could be explained just by different diets (or some kind skin lotions). Finland didn’t have that many non-white (or non-finnish) persons until quite recent years — so most non-whites have moved here quite recently (especially from Somalia) and probably still tend to eat foods that white finns aren’t familiar with.

DevonParticipantI noticed the same thing.I like the cocoa butter smell a lot. I smell a coconutty smell with black people a LOT! Native Americans, I don,t know what I smell, but that smell doesn,t seem to be as good.Sometimes I,ve met up with a Native American and they smelled pretty nice.I don,t know if it,s what they have cooked or eaten, but a few times , I have smelled Native Americans. Whites don,t really smell very much, that I have met.Sometimes they do smell like a great perfume though.

SicpoParticipantI went to see the Soweto Gospel Choir in concert last night and when I walked into the auditorium I smelled a familiar buttery smell…like cocoa butter? I recognized it as a ‘black’ scent and I was dying to ask, ‘Is that the smell of a product black people use (is it possible they all use the same product??) or is that the natural scent of black skin or hair?’ I’m very interested to know. It was not unpleasant to me at all but I’ve been embarrassed to ask anyone because it sounds kind of rude. Why do you smell different? I’m worried that someone will think I’m trying to say ‘you people smell funny’ or something which isn’t the case. So…to make a long story short…thank you for asking the question! I’m going to pay closer attention to the smell of white people…spoiled milk? As a white person I hope I don’t smell like that!

MKDParticipantI totally disagree with the myth of body odor and food. I am indian and I have been reading this a lot. Every Indian cooking involves relatively intense seasonings in oil. If you cook in same clothes you go out, the smell of seasonings will travel with you. My advise to my dear indians is not to hang around kitchen wearing your work clothes and store your coats away from kitchen area.

S22920ParticipantIf foods affect how a person smell, wouldn’t it become a question about culture rather than race or ethnicity? An Indian-American or Asian-American may not eat anymore curry or noodles as the next Caucasian-American … or is there some kind of genetics behind this?

MaryParticipantI have heard that the soldiers in Vietnam could smell our soldiers coming. They smelled like rotting meat. What you smell like has more to do with what you eat than what ethnicity you are. The fact is, many people of a certain ethnicity may eat a certain way, confusing someone into thinking it is a factor related to ethnicity rather than the type of food consumed. Vegetarians produce less foul body odors from armpits and other places because they do not consume rotting flesh.

neutralParticipantI am sure there is some point with RealityCheck’s comment. People smell different naturally. I don’t care when people use perfumes. The rich gets a better smell then. Whatsoever, Egyptians and many west Asian people have a beef boiling smell, Indians with a Curry smell, Asians with the smell of seafood, Europeans got the smell of red meat, Americans smell like meat mixed up with rice … and so on n so forth.

karenParticipantI think it isnt nonsense at all. I am currently dating a black man in his 30s. He is a professional and showers daily. He cuts his hair very close to his scalp so there is no ‘hair product’ to be factored in. He has a sent that is very different than any other race that Ive known. Ive only smelled the same sent on a black woman that I used to study with and a black woman who is a client of mine. I know many black people as well as other races. The only people who have this musty(not musky) body odor are very dark skinned black people. I would also like to know what it may be related to. But It is not nonsense.
