It's an individual thing, some people "stink" easily. from google:

research points to the ABCC11 gene as directly responsible for underarm odor. Oddly enough, this gene also determines whether people produce wet or dry earwax. Interestingly, those who tend to produce dry earwax also lack the necessary chemical needed to feed the bacteria that cause underarm odor.

East Asians have dry earwax.
