Yea, that's what ossan smells like.

Kareishu (加齢臭) is the correct term and there's not much you could do about it.

Japanese Summer is very humid and for those who work in sales have to walk around for whole day.

I think someone could seriously make money selling Western deodorant over the Internet or something since so many people feel like it's hard to get in Japan.
