I found this out when I arrived when first running out of pit spray ,
apparently  the majority of Asian people
don't produce the chemical that makes sweat 'smell' . (if you are in the 2%
of Japanese whose sweat
does stink you can get an Honourable Discharge from the army for the good of
the unit apparently)

So therefore whilst you can buy plenty of anti-perspirant in the 7-11's
(just as easy to dust your pits with flour
and as effective)
They've felt no need to develop or sell 'Deodorant'

Which is why I've had funny looks returning with 4 cans of Right Guard in my
carry-on
(They seem to draw the line at 5, had to bin one at Heathrow )
And getting odd comments when telling visitors to bring Tea Bags and
Deodorant

Just M2C
