Mali

The Dogon of Mali are a tribe of 600,00 who dwell in the Eastern region of Mali. They also believe in "hearing" a scent. People who use appropriate grammar and language possess a good scent. On the other hand, using ungrammatical speech results in children getting their nose pierced as punishment. To the Dogon of Mali, onion is the most desirable scent. They rub fried and raw onions all over their body every morning. This replaces the need for perfume and other hygiene products. It also is used mainly to attract partners.
