Just as Arabs and Indians have distinct smell...do u know that Filipinos do also?

[crush980400]

my friend told me that filipinos, in general, have distinct smell themselves. not that it smells foul or anything but it's really distinct. of course, we don't smell it ourselves because we've been immune to it. so the next time you go to other countries, probably they know by ur smell that ur a filipino.

[ann]

i heard that too ... maalat daw tayo? baka it's the bagoong & the tuyo & the pulang itlog & the tapa, etc ...

[cbie]

really?
we have a smell?
ano, polo sport? hehehe!

[nix]

Who told you that? I've never heard of that comment before so I'm really surprised.

[ann]

cbie / nix: try ur expat acquaintances who r friendly enough to tell u the truth ...

[Cy]

Yup that's true! we just dont realize it coz tayo tayo din ang nagkaka amuyan .. way to go cbie! =)

[zyxthyn]

that's ridiculous...i haven't heard those comments...in fact, ngayon lang ako nakarining ng ganoon...

where did that info came from? :(

[benz]

It's very, very possible. It could all be just a matter of "conditioning".

I remember going to Smokey Mountain (when it was still a smelly place) before with my classmates during highschool. When we got down the bus, I almost puked. But after a few minutes (or was it hours?), I realized that I was getting the hang of it. It still STANK, but we were getting the hang of it.

[The Saint]

We tend to generalize the smell of a race by sniffing the simpler half...or should I say, the masses. They say that caucasians do not smell good but when I went to the States...mmmmm, smells like fresh milk, well that goes for the better half.

I don't think "Filipinos" smell like bagoong in general.

[brownpau]

I know this post is almost a whole year later, but my GF told me, maalat nga daw ang body scent ko. (Pag nag-vitamin C naman, umaasim ng kaunti.) Maybe there's something to that after all.

[PauTOT]

surprisingly, I don't think this thread is ridiculous at all....interesting....maalat tayo? maybe it's because of all the salty food (bagoong, tuyo, dilis, etc) we like to eat....pero if that's the case, do we smell like the Chinese too?

[daeva]

Yes. I think filipinos have a distinct smell. I used to stay at my friend's shop where kids would rent playstation games. And kakaiba yung amoy! Hindi amoy pawis or amoy araw. Basta kakaiba! I've smelled this also when I rent videos tapos may ibang tao na nandoon ... basta ... it's different! And not necessarily nice. Tsaka may certain types of people lang ... so ... baka hindi rin nga yun yung amoy na tinutukoy mo .. hehehe

Filipinos smell like a man who spent a day under the sun says an American friend, when prodded to explain, he just said loosley translating AMOY LUPA DAW!!! of course, the scent of colognes imported or otherwise sort of mask it!

[DELISYUS]

lolz.....my pakistani friend tells me that they also hate our smell... :)

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/wonder.gif is it true?

[^mhelay^]

sabi nila amoy panis na gatas daw tayo!!! at least amoy gatas pa rin hehehehe http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[BOMBA_STARR]

Some Europeans say we smell like fish

[arete]

Uy, may amoy ba tayo???

Maamoy ko nga sarili ko... http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

At least hindi tayo katulad ng mga Europeans na gumagawa ng matatapang na pabango para makaiwas sa ligo. At least I'm proud to say that Filipinos like to take a bath at least once a day.

[knoty-boy]

yeah... I heard that too... amoy dagat daw tayo... maybe nasa food natin iyon... ok lang iyon... at least naliligo tayo araw araw.... mga iba nga dyan (mga hindi pinoy) twice a week lang maligo, at once lang nagpapalit ng underwear... mas kadiri naman iyon...

[bepanthene]

totoo ba to? I have met some Filipinos who smell because they just do hahaha.. but generally Filipinos don't have that body odor like the arabo or whatever. Funny anecdote regarding this: My mom was seated in a three seater in a plane. a pakistani or indian guy sat between her and a filipino guy. she said he smelled so bad ("diyos mio, amoy putok!!! yung katabi naming pilipino, pa kunwari pang magtakip ng ilong sa sobrang baho."). Anyway, the filipino guy decided to put a handkerchief over his face (like a hold-upper) and was just about to sleep when the pakistani guy turned to him and said, "Why you put dat on your face?! What is your problem, huh?" filipino guy, "Aah, eh [looks at my mom], see when I sleep, my saliba falls. see? like this [shows the guy how his saliva falls]." :D

[skaya]

My Spanish Teacher(He's filipino who studied in Spain) said na yes, Filipinos have a distinct smell, its not fish or bagoong, but detergent, yes, sabong panlaba, its because we often take a bath, unlike other nationalities who do not take a bath regularly, he said that even in Spain, when the weather is too chilly, Filipinos still take a bath unlike others na natutulog a lang kasi malamig :cool:

At least, amoy sabon pa din, hindi anghit :D

[gastrocnemious]

i know this russian fellow and he said russians don't like how we smell. nagulat din ako kasi we think na mabaho din sila. :bungi:

[the_FLY]

i dunno...but i always notice people that smell like "Datu Puti" when i'm inside the lrt...

:evilgrin:

[kulantro]

amoy isda daw?
ang alam ko amoy malansang daing yung ibang babae..

[keener]

ang pinoy ata, amoy maasim.. alam niyo yun.. tayo ata yung race na pag binabad sa araw, lalabas talaga yung amoy ng sinigang... ewan ko.. pero yun ang feeling ko...

mas ok na yun! kesa naman mga chinese... (sana walang ma- offend). nung pumunta ako sa hong kong, yung mga tao, amoy kikiam!

[A_OK]

Its the food we eat im sure. For a time I felt like amoy indian ako because of all the indian food na kinakain ko dito..

siguro nga we smell salty to them, kasi maalat food talaga natin eh..

[zen_g]

:lol:

la lang ngayon ko lang kasi nalaman ito eh .... basta ang maganda naliligo tayo ......

[Cool_Spot]

Kung may amoy ka..... Cool ka!!!!!!!!!!!



COOL SPOT Baby!!!!!

[rains_delight]

I think most of use are salty because of the food we eat. But if we take a bath at least twice a day, that distinct smell will be lesser.

Pero yung mga Pinoy na may Putok na hindi pa ganun kalala, amoy langka. Siguro yung mga asawa nila, gustong gusto ang amoy nila. Hindi nila alam, anghit na iyon.

[kartoonista]

Historian Ambeth Ocampo mentioned from the writings of expats living early this century that we have a distinct brown smell. I dunno what that is.

I'll look for the book and post the article here. :D

[thehitman]

I look like an idiot here in the office, smiling but actually trying to keep myself from laughing. May amoy pala tayo? I've seen all the posts and there are some variations, but in general, it appears that we smell salty.

kartoonista: hope you can get that article for us. This thread has gotten my attention. :)

[blue17]

sabi ng Singaporeans ko na officemate... meron nga raw tayong distinct smell... not necessarily na mabaho... basta distinct daw... ka-amoy ng mga ulam natin.. yung caldereta. menudo, etc.

i know they're trying to be polite :)

[dunno]

i guess that we do smell, but not like fish or something that the americans or europeans are saying, they are just being racist. they(most) look down on us. most of the time pag pumasok ako sa LRT even if it's still morning may amoy na. minsan mabaho, minsan ok.

[X0X0]

i agree. i noticed that i smell a little differently than usual for a day or two after eating filipino foods. same situation happens when i eat indian/greek/etc. food.

[A_OK]

Pero ligo lang ang katapat nyan :)

[cedar2island]

like FISH :glee:

but hey, there's nothing wrong with that; at least it's natural-smelling :shrug2: :silly:

besides, i love fish--bagoong, dried fish, fried fish, fish-n-chips, you name it!!! :yum::yum:

[LOL_girlash]

amoy gisa daw tayo.......

[Deep_Disher]

hey, an ex-officemate told me we smell like ginger -- luya. so siguro nga parang gisa -- spicy and appetizing, di ba? =)

well i told her americans smell like milk. pansin nyo ba yun?

pero oks pa rin ang pinoy! luya, ginisa, isda. hahaha!

[Shugotenshi]

Oo naman no! Filipinos have a smell too, di lang natin napapansin. Pansinin niyo pag sasakay kayo ng public transpo!! Nakakainis yung mga di naliligo lalo na sa umaga!! I can say this kasi I take a bath everyday and three times pa so naiirita ako pag yung katabi ko ay............waaaahhhhh!!!!

Ang madalas makaamoy niyan yung mga foreiger. Sabi ng kakilala ko na may kakilalang arabo, yung mga pinoy daw may amoy na amoy sabon na hindi nabanlawan mabuti! Tsaka yung isa pa amoy pulbos na kulob. Ayan ha, nilalait kasi natin silang amoy sibuyas at shawarma!

[tina11]

i'm waiting for kartoonista's article. na-intriga ako dito ah. :|

oo nga, amoy dimsums!
:rotflmao:

------------------------------------------

ngayon ko lang narinig ito! hindi naman siguro totoo. kung meron man talaga, ang masasabi ko lang, siguto lahat naman ng uri ng tao may amoy. immune na kasi ang mga kano sa amoy caucasian kaya akala nila may kakaibang smell ang Malay race. i've been to the Australia and U.S. na dominated by caucasians, wala naman akong naamoy sa kanila.

[crazy_fool_22]

hmmm... meron ba?? depende siguro kung nasaan ka.. kung pinoys sa pnas, nako! laging amoy pawis - no offense, pero sa traffic and init sa pnas! ughh!! but mabango naman tayo pag bagong ligo :D

[PennyLane]

I have heard that we have a distinct smell, like fish and garlic. It must be the food that we eat, right?

As the saying goes,,,"you are what you eat" :munch:

At least now that we know, we won't be so hard on hitting arabos and indians with regard to their smell :lol:

[avonlea]

tingin ko nga rin may distinct smell ang mga pinoy... usually amoy-araw o amoy-suka :D

pero siguro yung mga lalaki lang...

[CoolCucumber]

hahahaha! sexist :D

interesting 'tong thread na 'to a... may amoy pala tayo and ack! amoy isda!

[yeah*baby*yeah]

my friend's sister told her that we smell like meat daw or something like that. kasi di ba arabs don't eat meat kaya yun ata yung odor na naaamoy nila.

correct! ligo lang ang katapat!

[Fenix]

well, I noticed the countries i've been to have a distinct smell.. and the people too.. must be the air. In the US, the air smells like that odor balikbayan boxes smell when you first open them.. mabango. In HK, it smells like the combination of fruits, longanisang macao, and sangke (spice), while in Malaysia, it smells like curry, and uhm.. putok. After being away from pinas for a long time, pag dating ko amoy intsik daw ako, while ako naman I noticed for a while (but soon got used to it and eventually did not notice it anymore) the air here has a faint trace of the odor the smokey mountain used to emmit.

[Fairy_nd_meadow]

Surprising, but you know what, I was in the elevator and I was with a black woman. She asked me - do you Filipinos cook a lot of fish? I was like, dumbfounded. Whatttt????? But before I could insult her, she left the elevator. I was about to ask her, "why would you say that?" I mean, I know I spend much on perfumes, and I really do think I smell kinda nice that day. In fact, I never leave the house without taking a bath, with nice smelling liquid soaps and shampoo.

Is it true???? :(

[avonlea]

shucks!!! kung amoy isda tayo... it means malansa??? :glee:

[CoolCucumber]

napapansin ko lang... amoy salty. yes, salty. minsan 'pag mainit tapos pinagpapawisan ako hindi siya amoy kung ano man pero maalat nga ang amoy.

mmmm... so kahit nagpapabango tayo naaamoy pa rin 'yun?

[benj20_ph]

yeah...may mga katulong kami dati pag pinagpapawisan...amoy sibuyas...minsan langka...ewan ko ba!

[benj20_ph]

guys...pawis ko maalat ang lasa...salty nga siguro?

[sandoval_h]

amoy shampoo

[sandoval_h]

eh kahapon (palm sunday) nagsimba ako daming tao, amoy tinapa lol

[aina_crazy_girl]

yikes! na-conscious tuloy ako

[benj20_ph]

:lol:

[kryzteta]

oo nga kung amoy isda, eh di ibig sabihin malansa tayo?? Alam ko Pakistanis and Indians do smell. Kase when I was still studying in Dubai, kapag Electives lipat kami sa ibang room, and ang natitira sa room namin mostly Indians and Pakistanis, pag balik sa room, as in whoooah! nakakahilo ang amoy. Ano naman amoy ng arab? They dont smell bad naman a, ang alam ko amoy nila, sobrang tapang na pabango.

Bad nga ako kase I sit behind a really smelly Indian classmate, eh bata pa ako nun, so I was really wondering kung bakit may amoy sya, sabi ko baka hindi nagpapalit ng damit. So sinulatan ko yung blouse ng uniform nya.
The next day she was still wearing it, and the next and the day after that, hanggang 2 weeks ata suot nya! Dont know kung more than that pa, basta nung a week after satisfied na ako, kaya mabaho sya kase hindi nagpapalit ng damit.Malamang walang ligo ligo na rin yun.

Sa Hongkong naman yung mga chinese amoy lumot, I guess its because of drinking so much tea. Kase there was also a time na madalas mag tea bf ko, same sila amoy nung mga chinese.

[aina_crazy_girl]

my american friend says only some filipinos smell bad yung mga jologs and the area of manila.. over populated na kasi, eh

[pinkrose]

pansin ko marami sa masa amoy isda, yung mga farmers naman amoy lupa. pansin nyo yung mga sobrang mataba na tao may certain amoy na mabaho?

[ego]

the smell they associate us with is probably the smell of our food getting on our clothes.

what i've learned is, do not wear the same clothes that you cooked or ate in to go out in public. And when cooking or eating, store your clothes where the smell will not permeate them.

[criskyut]

ngayon ko lang to nalaman ah! :D

[hugs]

yup...that's what foreigners say..we smell like fish...pero ok lang...at least naliligo tayo!!that's one thing i'm proud of, malinis tayo sa katawan

[haberdasher]

only with the food that we it lang siguro. not like arabs/indians. pero actually, arabs are not really mabaho. some do smell good. pero ang indian/pakistani, pamatay.saksakan ng bababoy.

matanong nga sa ibang lahi kung may naamoy na iba sa pinoy

[caryatid_kitten]

actually, Filipinos are more hygeinic compared to Caucasians. I find it hard to believe that we have a distinct "scent". In fact, one of the reasons why Caucasians love Filipinas daw is because we smell good and we're "malinis sa katawan"

oh welll...

basta lahat ng tao, may amoy...its really about hygeine.

[baredevil696]

Kung amoy isda tayo...does that mean foreigners smell something fishy? :eek:

[toron]

mabango ako :D
hehe.. di naman ako kumakain ng fish kaya di ako amuy fish.. pero marami nga akong kilalang amuy fish

[itt]

ano po yung nangingibabaw na amoy?? ehehe
:bluefish:

[im_ur_angel]

I've read this in other forum.

I can say that we smell like seawater in general. Being an archipelago surrounded by seawater, the smell blends into our air and makes us smell like "fish" (not that stinky fish noh!)

Safeguard lang katapat niyan! :D

[aajao]

hah! its 2004 and Kartoonista hasn't come back here. :~(

i got curious too.

[gabfph]

bakit hindi tayo mangagamoy isda, eh nakatira tayo sa archipelago, so natural, kumakapit sa mga balat natin yung ganun ... pero okay lang, at least tayo naliligo at least twice a day ...

[kapitangkiko]

hahahaha... :lol:
never heard that before: pinoys smell like fish, asim, gisa, etc.
siguro yung mga nagsasabi nun, yung mga pinoy friends nila ganun ang amoy :lol:
syempre some pinoys do smell. pero in fact ang alam ko pag amoy bagong paligo - pinoy. at least based on what i've been told and from my own experience. forget about indians and pakis, most europeans smell awful generally.

and about taking baths twice a day - apparently that's pre-hispanic. yung account dun sa isa sa mga spanish voyages to the philippines, tagalogs daw bathe in the river once in the morning and then in the evening after the day's work.

to my mind: pinoy = smells clean! *okay*

[muffya]

hayaan niyo na..mas mabaho naman ang mga arabo sa atin eh..kwento nga pala ng sis ko to sa kin..hrm kasi course ng sis ko and meron siyang mga friends na ng ojt sa mga hotels..alam nyo bang pag arabo ang gumamit ng hotel room,as in super duper general cleaning talaga ang ginagawa!eh lintek naman kasi puro plema daw ang mga walls at sandamakmak na condoms ang nagkalat(poor prostis..)at super baho daw ang room after!yuck!pero wag ka ang bathroom daw ay super linis which means hindi nila ginagamit!!!!!eeewwww!!!!! :throwup: :vomit: :bigvomit:

That's why the Spanish were appalled because bathing=touching themselves daw plus the fact that they bathe in the same river wearing "transparent" clothes. :glee:


:rpflag:

[aqriusguy]

So that's why we became prudes - because of the spaniards. :lol:

It must have been a lot better living in prehispanic philippines. *okay*

[shamhoy]

try riding the LRT during rush hour..tapos siguraduhin mong walang aircon..yun ang amoy ng taong bayan. :D :D

[CoolCucumber]

^Oi in fairness ha, hindi pamatay ang amoy ng mga Pinoy sa Divisoria. Kahit mainit. In fairness talaga :D :D


:rpflag:

[murapi]

siguro sa kinain nila at isa pa hindi din sila naliligo... pamatay talaga ang baho GRABE !!!!

[crazyfunk88]

smells like fish? :confused:
hmmm...d ko lam un a
:deadhead:
d ba amoy sabon? :D









*pexadik*

[xel_7]

it's because of what you're eating. indians smells like that because of lots of onions and spices in their diets. 5 months na ako dito and it really do happen. heck, i can smell the spices of the dishes i ate when i urinate or defecate

[Chase_Meridian]

Uy this is a good marketing ploy for bath soap ha: "Para di mag-amoy dagat, gumamit ng ____." Honestly, even Lush has different soaps for different types of water (i.e. hard and soft water).

[julienne_moi]

they say that amoy dagat daw tayo but siguro dahil we live in an archipelago. But I don't think sobra naman tayong baho, lahat naman ng pinoy naliligo araw araw. kung may amoy man tayo ay dahil pinagpawisan na.

[mac326]

panalo talaga ang amoy sa LRT. buti na lang tapos na ako mag-aral.

[CyberShiva]

Uuuyyy... ***** k *** 'to nalaman ha... :lol: Really?!? May amoy *** tyo... Many posters hir said that we smell fish daw or salty?!? Na-conscious 2loy ako... hehehehe...

[cedric22]

never really noticed that we smell?!?
may mga ilang pinoy lang na di rin tlaga malinis sa ktawan but most of us are mLINIS ****.

[more]

hindi amoy Isda ang mga pinoy kung di amoy araw? iyan ang madalas kung marinig sa lola ko, sa nanay ko at sa mga tiyahin ko. Palaging itinatanong Saan kaba nangaling bata ka at amoy araw ka? maligo ka nga at amoy araw ka.

[phalluscolossus]

Kalokohan ito! Basta ako malinis ako sa katawan. I've been interacting with some British people and italians before, and I detected no such odor from them, and I'm sure, neither did they from us filipinos.

[dare d' best]

Ok let's make it clear people that this thread is about "Fil. has distinct smell". And to CRUSH980400 and THE REST THAT AGREES, you are all WRONG. :silly:

First let's define DISTINCT (it indicates that something is DISTINGUISDED by the mind or eyes or nose as being apart or different from others). :bow:

For Arabs and Indians i agree (because they use their same basic spices (w/ strong curries and others that only their race's used) in foods but Filipinos basic spice is only (little of these things - w/c the rest of the races of people around the world's usesl) garlic, salt, pepper and the rest of the spices is cook's prerrogative. I had made a surveys from different people w/ different races, and NONE AGREES that we have particular smell that could relate us as being Filipino. :enlightened:


So those foriegners that comments base only from one person or from one family couldn't be generalize. GOT ME? :smokehead:

[mish]

interesting...ngayon lang ako nakarinig ng ganyang comment. Indians and Pakistanis really do smell, as in pamatay talaga. Di kase naliligo everyday eh at tsaka di nagpapalit ng damit. Yung office boy nga namin isang linggo nya suot yung damit nya waahh magdadalawang-isip ka tuloy kung magpapatimpla ka ng kape! Most of the comments I get is I smell nice naman daw :*)

[Totoy_Bibbo]

[jawoo8686]

totoo yun may amoy tayong iba. it's what we ate everyday. tuyo, tinapa, pinakbet, burong talangka, durian, tilapia(malansa 'to), balut. i wasn't aware of it until i went off island and came back 5 yrs later. at ang sabi nila mabango daw ako. pero hindi naman ako gumamit ng pabango that time. tinanong ko naman kung anong amoy na naamoy nila. amoy mansanas at oranges daw. not bad pero fruit salad pala ang labas ko. dito na lang ako sa Pinas amoy beach pa lagi ako.:D

hehehe well ya i do but not as bad as mga ARabo!

hehehehe siguro wen I'll cum bak 2 Philippines i'll notice dat smell!

[pepperchills]

i agree that we have a distinct smell.

parang kapag nakatanggap ka ng balikbayan box from the states, di ba pagbukas merong kakaibang amoy? mabango?

my tito said that when they open a package or a maleta from the Philippines, it smells like tinapa even if there's no tinapa inside.

try to notice the smell the moment you arrive at the airport after a fairly long vacation in other countries... basta may kakaibang amoy talaga :)

[imakeboyzcry]

na-conscious tuloy ako :D siguro amoy sea water lang tayo... kasi naman noh our country is surrounded by seawater.

[urdragonslayer]

If people say "distinct" smell does it mean body odor? Yung mga indian at middle easterns kaya malakas ang amoy kse di marunong gumamit ng deodorant. Makukuha naman lahat sa ligo yan.

Sa tingin ko yung distinct smell kse dumidikit yung amoy sa bahay kapag nagluluto lalo na kapag nagprito ng isda. Kaya nagiging kaamoy na rin ng mga damit, kumot, kurtina, atbp. Nakukuha na rin ng katawan natin. Kaya next time wag na magprito or magluto ng may amoy sa loob ng bahay lalo na kung hindi maganda ang ventilation.

[kreuk]

iv got this guy na friend who really has a distinct smell... amoy panis na oil. tapos this other girl has that smell too. and my maid also sometimes smell like that.

i think it's what u eat. both of them eat just anything they want.

[avonlea]

hindi ba amoy suka (vinegar)?

[you_betch]

i think it depends on what a person eats and the smell of their home.

Chinese people, some of the ones i know, have a certain smell and I figured out it was the food they cook and eat, and the scent of their houses that the smell eminated from:lol:

same for anyone else!

[takawtamayo]

ewan ko..pero ako alam ko amoy sabon sa umaga--pawis sa hapon..kaya dapat maligo ulit sa hapon..
