Soc Trang woman\u2019s body emits a floral scent like My Fair Princess’ Han Xiang<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most millennials will recall watching the drama <\/span>My Fair Princess <\/span>(<\/span><\/em>\u9084\u73e0\u683c\u683c),<\/em>\u00a0a phenomenal TV hit in the late 90s<\/a>. While Xiao Yan Zi and Zi Wei were our perennial favorites, the addition of Han Xiang, the <\/span>Fragrant Concubine <\/span><\/em>made season 2 even more captivating.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best scenes was when Han Xiang danced and drew butterflies because of her natural body scent. As beautifully as that played out onscreen, having a body smelling like a flower without perfume or body lotion sounds good to be true in reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

As it turns out, a woman just like Han Xiang exists in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n

2 years ago, a 41-year-old tailor in Soc Trang started to smell the fragrance of bay laurel coming from her body. Sometimes, her natural body scent allegedly becomes so intense that it draws bees and butterflies towards her, according to <\/span>Thanh Nien<\/span><\/a><\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

News of her floral body scent piqued her friends and neighbor\u2019s curiosity. Some neighbors flocked to her home just to verify the rumors, while some massaged their skin to see if any floral scent came out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the day, I rub Tuoi\u2019s skin and the floral scent will be exuded. In the evening, her body sends forth a natural scent without outside influences,\u201d said Tran Tiet Thao Tien, Tuoi\u2019s neighbor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fascinated by her unforgettable condition, her friends and neighbors have begun calling her <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Soc Trang\u2019s Princess Han Xiang<\/span>\u201d<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

According to Tuoi, nobody in her family has this condition and she\u2019s not born with it. She didn\u2019t have any disease, nor went on any special diet. Until today, she’s unable to explain how her body naturally discharges a floral scent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A natural floral scent that’s still a mystery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Despite continuous technological advances, there are curious phenomena that humans cannot explain. Vietnam’s very own Han Xiang’s story reminds us that scientific theories don’t necessarily provide answers to everything, and there’s room to embrace mysteries that we don’t understand yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

For 90’s kids who were told that Han Xiang’s body scent was just a figment of the screenwriter’s imagination, you can now go back to watching the drama telling your children the opposite.<\/span><\/p>\n
