Germanics and Slavs smell good in general, I don`t know about the others,
I sweat a lot because of my fast metabolism but my sweat smells like lemon mixed with a light breece of lavendel

Blacks tend to reek. Simply lacking as frequent bathing or something... ?

Working in the health field, I've noted more times than I can count when removing tape or EKG stickers from black people, a good amount of filth comes off onto the adhesive, and it's not uncommon for the adhesive to reek badly.

The adhesive pulls of the top layers of the epidermis. It's not dirt or filth, it is pigmented skin cells. You don't see it with white people because their cells are not pigmented.

I don't know any Asian people, so I can't comment on that.

Africans have a very strong and distinctive odour. Even when freshly washed and clean, there is a different smell.

The more mixed race they are and the more European mix they, the more the odour dissipates.

I don't know how Blacks or Asians smell because I never met such people to an extend that I sit near them in a bus or train, but Arabs and Turks smell different and repulsive. Balkan people seem okay except the darkest ones. No problem with Italians and Spanish people, they smell average. Russians too.

[Virtuous]

I smell good.

I have a very good smell sense, and even Asians smell 'weird' to me. I can tell them, blindfolded, by only smelling their arms.

And yes Kazi it is correct what you say about Africans. They smell very different, even if in good hygiene and clean. I don't think it has only to do with sweat.

The black/mixed people in the UK smell different from the Africans in South Africa. But also distinctive.

I wonder if there is distinctive smell after sex and if that is reason why some Persons are attracted to interracial sex and some others despise it

Auch, that hurts

I tan extremely fast. I realized that I smell like a negro when I spend ten minutes in the spring sun. Maybe their smell is related to skin/pigmentation.
