I do not think that necessarily true. I find Portuguese smell different
from Spaniards because their olive oil smells different. Latins may
think that northerners stink cause they eat lard. I am not talking about
unwashed society but what societies eat and body smells produced because
of it. Different parts of Morocco are also another experience as is
Mexico etc. Once my father had to take the metro in Madrid and came out
saying all Madrilenos eat garlic. We never let him take the metro again!
