It's like an 8 year old giving a book report presentation in a 38 year old body.

Outdated thinking. I’ve been around French women recently and they smell great.

It's not.

The French Navy routinely comes to America and they definitely do smell. Other countries just have different cultural tolerances for body odor.

I said women not sailors.

Is this true in people's experience?

I've been to multiple cities in France and worked at a french company for 5 yrs where half the staff was french and they had a rotation program where french new grads rotated in and out of my department
I honestly don't remember anyone stinking any more than an usual cac or african

They definitely have an entirely different view and take on what is acceptable as far as body odor......maybe the newer generations may be trending different

Hmmm. Now I understand that stereotype from movies and TV shows.

My mother went to France a few years ago stayed in Paris for a month. When I picked her up from the airport she had some gripes about the trip but them folks stanking wasn't one of them. She's big on hygiene too so she wouldn't have kept it to herself if she met too many with BO.

Europeans in general just bathe less so they stink more. Like openly talking about bathing twice a week , and just using baby wipes the rest of the week type stuff.
