But if you're one of the lucky few who possess a gene called ABCC11, you don't even have to worry about deodorant. According to the website LiveScience, the presence of the gene means that your armpits lack a chemical that, when combined with sweat, bacteria feeds on to produce smelly body odor.
There's another reason few Chinese consumers buy deodorant: basic biology. Scientists in recent years have shown that many East Asians, a group that includes China's ethnic Han majority, have a gene that lowers the likelihood of a strong “human axillary odor” — scientist-speak for body stink.

The A allele is very common in East Asians, and as expected, most people in this population don't need to use deodorant. And so they don't use it—it's estimated that only 7% of North East Asians regularly use deodorant.
What's with the lack of quality deodorant in Korea? Basically, most Koreans don't actually need deodorant. Several years ago, scientists discovered a gene that was dubbed “ABCC11”.

Can you smell your own body odor?

If you're not wearing deodorant or antiperspirant and you're rushing out the door, then "your sweat glands may become more active," which leads to increased secretion of sweat, says Surin-Lord. And while sweat itself can be annoying, it can also lead to bacteria build-up in your armpits, she notes.

One large study failed to find any significant differences across ethnicity in residual compounds on the skin, including those located in sweat. If there were observed ethnic variants in skin odor, one would find sources to be much more likely in diet, hygiene, microbiome, and other environmental factors.
The amount a person sweats as well as the different bacteria that the sweat might come into contact with on the skin may very well differ between races — likely as a result of evolutionary adaptations.

While it can change depending on our diet and health, a lot of what makes our smell unique is determined by our genetics. Our body odour is specific enough, and our sense of smell accurate enough, that people can pair the sweaty T-shirts of identical twins from a group of strangers' T-shirts.
No. The Middle Ages were surprisingly hygienical: people bathed regularly and the Graeco-Roman bath culture was ubiquitous well until the end of the 15th century.
