I’m researching market demand for high-end perfumes. Some researchers claim Chinese people, men and women, are not interested in perfumes. Google and AI can't provide accurate answers. So, I’m asking the Type C Mothership in K. Is it true?

yes. type c no body odor

So it is true ? mean those Chanel, Dior, Armani CK, Tom Ford and those brand are not the market segmentation for Type C.? is it a local thing only or China Chinese as well?

Maybe because the type of food the Type C take.

dun like to impose olfactory assault on other ppl

hope other ppl oso dun do to me

jes smell... neutral is fine

but do you like the perfume smell other people are using?

personally i like fruity scents, floral is offputting

oso jus a slight gentle waft is ok, dun b like u jus jump into a vat of perfume, so bloody repulsive

understandable. this mean you are willing to spend branded (counterbrand) like Armani Code, CK One, if you find the scents you truly like?

I only use one scent and I must use it because it’s very fresh and gives me some oomph

Lelabo the matcha

Many girls compliment ask me what is that smell. When I say le labo they go like woah so expensive. And I tell them I am expensive

I buy alot of perfume. It is a personal interest. However i don't like to spray alot, just enough for my own enjoyment. People seldome notice my perfumes.

Because i use like 1-2 sprays max, i got enough to last me a lifetime so i force myself to stop buying.

thats a t5 female thing and type c stigma of being well off is just not true and even if its true it will mostly apply to male and males dont play perfume so i guess its true
But I tot you just need to sell even one just to make bank

The Chinese are less hairy, and hence their bodies seldom trap heat and smell. This is due to massive evolution of humanity (Google Darwin theory and hair linkage). Moreover, the Chinese bath/shower twice a day minimum. Just enter any Chinese vs Malay/Indian homes, and the floor is less sticky and smooth

nice choice.

Are you hairy? Allah watching this conversation

It is about to make a significant impact on the social connections we are currently living in. Some of them can be quite boring, while others can be quite delight able to be with. But I don't understand why you say you have enough perfume on yourself for you yourself but do not intend to draw attention to the fact that you are wearing perfume?

Well.. Yeah thats the economics of this business. but we still need to get the product done right and try to cater all market segment.

Perfume and Deodorant actually served different purpose. Deodorant is the answer for body odor while perfume actually served purpose are beyond body odor.

all the C T20s I knew don't wear perfume, they don't need the extra attention from others since they have family

it's very niche market here, wannabe will spend on fakes or splurge on one bottle per year. only wear it for occasion.

Chinese Japan Korean ppl wear soft perfume . They do buy expensive one Like le labo , Jo malone but u never smell them With oud or vanila .

Thats a marketing idea that could revolutionize how we use perfume in our daily lives. Just like air fresheners, perfume can create a positive atmosphere and boost our productivity. Imagine working in an office with a pleasant scent, leading to better working results. Smell is a crucial human sense, and it’s time we give it more recognition for its impact on human to human connection with perfume.

exactly right. i went to my staff house for raya open house, damn the odour..

Provided it is used in moderation

If I can't breath because colleague showered in perfume, it isn't boosting any productivity from me

We understand that not all our potential customers are fans of Oud-based perfumes. So, we’re working on developing a perfume that doesn’t contain Oud. The reason is that if someone doesn’t like Oud-based perfumes, they’re not likely to buy Oud-based perfumes anyway. But if someone does like Oud-based perfumes, they’re also likely to buy other non-Oud-based perfumes.

Yeah. thats true also.

How many people in your teams?

I think they wear perfume, maybe something more subtle. I have seen them buy expensive perfume from hermes, chanel and etc. Not sure is it the brand or the smell

I have never bought a bottle of perfume in my life. So there you go...

What is perfume?

-Bangla-

Those ouds that type m love to use stinks

Type c DNA hampir2 like Korean kot, lol.

Google abcc11

Not a fan of perfume, but back in the day got lah one bottle of CK Eternity and Eau d’Issey.

Adding chemical with smells into the air, isn’t freshening it’s air pollution.
Otherwise Apple tobacco from your local Shasha joint also is air freshener kan?

definitely the food…
onions, spices and herbs do cause body odour… especially in quantities… type C doesn’t use that much in their food..

Some type c i know don’t even take bath in the morning.

But those who do. Yes. They have lesser body odour compared to Malays and Indians. White people also are like that.

I think its due to the food. Not much spices, onions and garlic.

90% of the price of high end perfume is for the brands. Type C (mainland people mostly) like to show off. Perfume cannot show off la...if luxury bag then they will buy.

Not only that. It’s the genes. Google ABCC11 genes. Most East Asians don’t really have strong body odour. I have never learn to use deodorant since no one in my family uses it.

But that aside, we do buy perfumes. Don’t use it much but still will get some once in a while for special occasions and such. I’ve never finish a bottle of perfume 😅 Also don’t like those strong smelling one. A lot of westerners like to use vanilla smelling scents. Personally find it too overwhelming and feel nauseous after someone with those scents walk past lol.

I rather splurge on shampoo, body wash and lotion for the scent than perfumes tbh.

Plenty don't spend on perfumes. Type M now only start buying cause those dupe local brands are sprouting like mushrooms after rain, go to any street mall sure got kiosk

I don't wear perfume. I even use unscented soap. Don't like the strong smell from perfume. Makes me want to sneeze whenever someone with string perfume walks past.

maybe type C T20s knew the origin of such products /how they're made (aka overpriced product slapped with brand labels) and so its a complete waste of money buying them.

ONly poorer people from all races masyuk with these assuming this will improve their prospect in getting a mate /up-class their social standings.

walhal buy using payLater ajeeeer.................................

Ya it’s sad, when walk behind the beautiful beautiful Chinese girls at work, I can only smell a bit of sweat or that sticky kind of smell. No perfume or anything 🥲🥲 have no idea why they don’t put some, maybe because they already 10/10 they think people don’t care? But smell is smell.

I use 4 different types of perfume on my clothes so can mask even their own sweat smell when in the lift haha

Molton brown my new favourite, surprisingly cheap too

the only thing i keep seeing type-C buy that smells good is AESOP

else is jo malone which actually smells nice

if you're already sticky, adding perfume will only made it even more stickier
which is what we don't want

meanwhile type M even apply strong perfume to go jogging
this is the part where i don't understand

Just visit jo malone during festival time and see for yourself.

Twice? Ini maciam penipuan skala besar

Now all Ah Pek makan kari lar...

So man, panties also wet wet liao !! ahahahhaa

I enjoy the scent andit is for my own enjoyment. It faninates me. I don't use it to get people to notice me. So i avoid being a projection bomb. It is very rude to assault people with your strong scent.

Eh but you won’t be sticky in the morning after shower right? That’s when you apply, not halfway through the day when already starting to smell.

But even normal deodorant would prevent the smell, maybe the ones in my office using the wrong type, not anti perspiration one

dunno dun care

you shd target type i customers

ayam type C, I shower in the morning, and use perfume.

Type C women don't sweat as much, because not wearing tudung and long dress .

it's not when you apply
it's after u apply, it became sticky...the moment u step out of your house door, u start to become sticky
so it's a combo

i know a lot of people uses deodorant, i personally don't because
1. i don't need it
2. i haven't found a deodorant that's not sticky yet

and lotion or sunscreen also i try to find or prefer those type where once u apply, it totally absorb it like it never happened type
not the type that leave the sticky feeling on your skin...i hate those

Type m mostly take bath but still feel the need to douse themselves in perfume until whole room can hardly breathe

Easy....

Instead bath + diet correctly ....

Shortcut wanna perfume....then enjoy the potential risk of "Phthalates " indirect ingest.

Phthalates — found in popular perfumes, nail polishes and hair care products — have been linked to numerous adverse health outcomes: insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease and impaired neurodevelopment

I never use perfume. So far ok je, no amoi complain about it.

I use dettol body shampoo, those with citrus favor or cucumber tu.

Chinese joke.

White ppl no mandi thats why they invent perfume.

You smell those everyday, men become pondan, women become hamsap curi makan luar, then by 50s, kena nose cancer.

One of the reasons also i don't apply alot is because among chinese heavy perfume usage is also associate to certain races.
E.g this person smell like a *****

when I read your first post, I have an assumption that you are in the beauty industry but your speculation proven otherwise

btw, I have work with the brands and Chinese Malaysians do spend on the luxury fragrance and the demographics are skewed towards the mature and high earning power segment

type C prefer real pheromones. that's why amoi so attractive.

Who do you want to attract? If Bangla smell nice on you may they wanted to be your best friend.

no ayam use bb n givenchy

The cipap got odour

if u stanky

Hahaha, that gave me a huge laugh, lol.

The word "humanity" definition also you don't understand.

So you are massive evolution chosen race?

God chosen race already taken by someone else.

hngggghhhh

would you say suitable for 40s? old man means what? 50-60?

parfume is just like woman bro. diff men have diff preference.

personally I will lekemen u Sephora Sunway Pyramid or Starhill . they have plenty of choice at the rack. dont worry, those pesky salesgirl wont bothered u. feel free to test.

oud smell always reminds me of arab smells . they dig this a lot

people will wear it on occasions. I personally only buy 1 every 2 years.

Maybe not completely wet but Ada la dripping abit. Smell really syok until my auntie also ask me what is this smell so gooding

Another 13 from Lelabo is also fukin amazing but matcha is fresh as tho I came out of jungle after killing a gorilla with my bare hands


2 pump is enough. 100ml approx 1k ( can get 900ish at some airport dirt free but smell not so ngam dono why spray on my hand macam alcahol smell)

i was in KLIA, tempted to buy tom ford oud knn one bottle RM1500+
I think i just stick to sauvage parfum and bleu
type C here

Really? Xhs push jo malone, aesop, lelabo and the likes wo

That's not the reason. It's related to the ABCC11 gene.

https://www.the-scientist.com/how-are-earwa...or-linked-72476

Basically, if you have dry ear wax = no body odor,
If you have wet ear wax = body odor.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/...ource=instagram
80 to 95% of East Asians (Chinese, Koreans, Japanese) have dysfunctional ABCC11 gene so 80 to 95% of them don't have body odor.

Since a big percent of the race don't have body odor, there isn't the same sort of culture as other races to buy perfume since the primary purpose of perfume is to mask body odor.

My statement is meant to be for general in terms of race, but there are outliers for each group (obviously, who doesnt know that? ).

Darwin did not use research of genetics as it was not available at his time. He merely observes and concludes, somehow accurately beyond his time.

You ok? I didnt say the bolded words. Don't fitnah and spin like snake. May Allah watch this chat and judge us

no

male uses perfume is gay
female uses perfume is chao cibai

That's easy because he just stole the whole thing from Patrick Matthew.

Regardless who, theory still stands undeniable

perfumes are poison. can't stand the smell and want to vomit whenever I pass by aweks. why they like perfumes so much ah

perfume use for some special occasion only. My perfume can last for years lol..

I'm a Chinese girl and I have a huge collection of perfumes...almost 50 bottles. For me, perfumes don't just express my personality but they also boost my mood. I seldom leave the house without wearing any perfumes.

My current favourites are Kayali's Vanilla 28, Louis Vuitton's Pacific Chill and Acqua Di Parma's Mandarin Di Sicilia.

My 1 hot take on perfumes is that we shouldn't limit ourselves to gender-based perfumes. Just coz a particular perfume is meant for men doesn't mean that women can't wear it. The best example is Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Beau Paradise...it has green notes, sweet n coconuty.

TBH chinese dont really care public opinion on them. They couldn't care less if they look nice, smell nice or dress nice. As long as they are comfortable. I never even met one chinese person who use perfume.

But if they do, i imagine they like to use generic brand like CK, Coach.

As for myself, I love perfume. I use YSL Myself and Libre daily, and more niche brand for more exclusive function.

Type C has natural body perfume liao

as half type C and javanese i still splurge on expensive perfumes, that includes 2 times shower minimum on daily basis although i was known to not have odor

perfume purchasing is necessity not necessary for type C
but no shower in the morning still doesnt do justice regardless

I'm C....I previously don't have the habit of wearing perfume...now I do. It really elevates my mood. Half my friends love perfumes. My favourite is Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade but haven't bought coz wanna get when friends go to Europe..it's 450 cheaper there.

My current go to is diptyque doson. YSL Is good too but it's more for night time use.

Like any straight guy I used to think using these things are so gay. Haha... Well it's not..I wear it for me to enjoy...and I really don't need you to know I'm wearing something.

BTW, which researcher or research papers are you reading?

I can never understand people wearing those overwhelming perfume. But still better than body odor I guess.

Perfume cannot show off like other material things.

Don’t think all people need perfumes

Don't need to say, I help say it for you for sarcasm purposes.

Although I am not massively evolving human like you, but my humanity is still intact, my empathy knows no boundaries, and a little sense of humility is there.

People high in testosterone need, the more testosterone you have, the more hairy you get, the more sweating and smelly you are.

Especially if you work in blue collar job.

I use deodorant sapu ketiak settle.

hated heavily perfumed person. selfish syiok sendiri
perfume initially is for lazy to bath person

dont just limit urself to a group
i mean there is definitely an uptake, just take look at lelabo for example they now hav 4 branches in KL

How expensive kind of expensive?…

Promoters didn't promote type c

Exp like how exp?

Like Creed level exp? Sure laaa...

You say it, do not equate "you help me say". That is fitnah, and to insist that you are not making a sin, is already x2 worse for God

Myself and wife like perfume... We don't like those heavy smells... Usually will go for summer type of perfume... Light weight is enough....

It smells good yo!
