I’ve lived here since high school and used to wear cologne a lot, but some friends told me strong western perfumes/colognes make them feel dizzy. They said people here usually prefer lighter, sweeter, or refreshing scents instead of really strong ones. After hearing it from a few different people, I kinda stopped using it most of the time.
Now I kinda get what they mean, especially on packed trains. Sometimes tourists walk by wearing really strong perfume/cologne and I can see why some people get bothered by it lol. I’m used to strong scents myself so I don’t really mind it personally, but it made me curious if other people changed their habits after moving here too.
