This from the people who invented cologne and perfume due to their infrequent bathing routine?

And lest we forget, they don't shave their legs or armpits! But french women have naturally appealing accents (to Americans their accents sound sexy). So maybe it's a wash (pun), at least in the case of the women.

I get your point, but the Germans (especially from the city of Cologne) will be offended that you gave credit to the French for the invention of Cologne!
