Some people don't sweat that much. For example, I have to use antiperspirant to avoid body odor but my wife don't need to use one and I can't smell odor.
This is probably related to this genetic trait. I have wet earwax and body odor, while my wife has dry earwax and no body odor.
Quote from the article:
Wet earwax??
Yep this actually varies among people. The "wet" type is soft kinda like warm candle wax, and more common in the West. AFAIK the "dry" type is more brittle and crumbly and more common in East Asia.
