Very specific smell among south asians.

Why do people from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have specific smell?
Do you guys from SA feel that smell, or its only noticeable for other people?

The same reason why some Black people smell like "raw meat".

In humans, the formation of body odors is caused by factors such as diet, gender, health, and medication, but the major contribution comes from bacterial activity on skin gland secretions.

I've noticed a distinct smell with some black people but I have lots of SE Asian friends and have never noticed anything unusual
