There are some things that people who come to Japan to visit should be aware of. I have not read much mention of this and it may be new to many of you.
That is, many Japanese do not like the smell of perfume. On trains, in crowded places, and in restaurants, the smell of perfume is considered very annoying. In Japan, it is considered good public manners to wear perfume only to the extent that it is only faintly fragrant or faintly scented.
Some people may want to use perfume to control body odor. Even in Japan, body odor is an important issue, especially during the hot and humid summer months.
The single most important measure against body odor in Japan is to keep the body clean. Take a bath at least once a day, or twice if necessary. This is the norm in Japan, a country blessed with abundant water resources.
In addition, paper wet-sheets for wiping perspiration are sold everywhere, including convenience stores and pharmacies. They are a necessity during Japan's dangerous summers.
In short, the important thing is to get rid of body odor. If you try to cover it up with a stronger smelling perfume, you will be disliked by the Japanese.
No such fact exists. Only a few paranoids are overly concerned about body odor.
As a Japanese, I believe the thing exists. What the root article says sounds like a fact in Japan.
