Body odor is such a touchy subject: it can make or break prospective love interests, it can totally ruin your rapport among friends and family, and finally, it can be a running theme for gag jokes during your birthday (getting deodorant for your birthday is NOT cool).

Essentially, body odor is a completely useless human “feature”. It serves no purpose and ultimately, it sends a message that if you move, you stink. You go to the gym to better yourself, you stink. Nervous on a first date? You will most definitely stink. Terrible right?

What if body odor, instead of smelling like an old attic with a dead raccoon inside, smelled like roses, or jasmine or even smell like freshly cooked rice with pandan leaves? The whole world would be a much, much wonderful place if body odor benefitted you instead of condeming you to be a social pariah. People would be flocking stores in search of ODORIZERS and PERSPIRANTS (axe and secret and old spice would make a KILLING with these products).

Well, hell would freeze before this would ever happen so… here’s to wishing.
