Adding a clove or two of chopped garlic can have a transformative effect on the overall flavor of the dish you're cooking. However, this extra flavor can come with a particularly smelly disadvantage, the result of a chemical compound called allicin, which makes garlic sweat emanate from your pores


Garlic, cloves and strong spices are a staple in African and South Asian cooking. The dishes are always an explosion of spices and flavors which tastes good but gives you the signature smell when you sweat

It is not just diet. there are 2 types of sweat glands. 1 type is the "regular" sweat that is produced by caucasians and is found all over the body except the genitals. The genitals have a different type of sweat gland that produces a more oily-fatty type sweat with more proteins. The bacteria that feed on the more protein rich sweat produce a more pungent odor. Indians, Africans and people from the tropical climates have the highest number of these sweat glands which accounts for their different smell.

Best way to get rid of the smell is use less garlic and spices in your food, bath everyday, wear a deodorant and since most curry and african skin is oily you need a good perfume that isn't cloying. D&G Light Blue Eau Intense pour homme is a good one.

Amazing information and advice

Would second cool perfumes that you would wear in the Winter.
Also use mint scented shower gel and add a little peppermint essential oil to the laundry too

I always figured it had something to do with the spices..

It’s not garlic otherwise Italians and mena would smell bad.

It’s heavy usage of garam masala which then infuses into the clothes.
