https://old.reddit.com/r/fragrance/comments/1f1p9gn/why_do_foreigners_who_come_to_india_smell_so_good/

								

								

Every time when a relative of mine comes from Canada or America they smell so good especially their clothes and suitcases. The room where they stay or the clothes they bring keeps smelling like that for days, i have asked them many times which deodorant they use they answered its the smell of detergent and they can't smell it Pls i have been finding the answer from 7-8 years which deodorant can smell like that does anyone knows i have tried deodorants from local stores and bought online also but nothing smells similar. PLS HELP ME TO FIND A SIMILAR FRAGRANCE

!nooticers !antibharatiya what's up with that?

Bharatiyas is this true?

When I was little, before I lived in the U.S. I used to looooove the smell of my relatives suitcases when they came from visiting the U.S I called it "The Smell of the United States" (I was a small child, don't judge me lol) I later realized that it was a combination of (in this case) Tide detergent + Downy softener AND the fact that the U.S houses all had relative low humidity compared to the swamp like humidity where I used to live. So the fabrics retained a certain crisp freshness. Even the new clothes that hadn't been laundered. I really think it has to do with the climate control (and also in part the detergents)

I don't even think it's so much the detergent or fragrance, but the 'inherent environmental scent'? I have often perceived Indian (Pakistani, etc) people smelling noticeably of Indian spices. Which I find totally pleasurable, I buy spices (and take cooking classes) wherever I travel! I have come to file that under 'this us how life smells in an Indian environment'. Even if you've become noseblind to that yourself, the encounter people with a different 'scent profile' is just something you notice and don't know exactly why. Please don't get me wrong, that is by no means meant to be culturally insensitive or racist (I mentioned I enjoy it), it's just a personal perception.

They smell like curry? Is this real?

This neither makes more nor less racist, just sad that not everyone can afford soap.

Surprised that they can notice the discrepancy. Gives some hope that improvement is possible.
