'Naturally sweet smelling women' sought for totally normal job on Guangdong farm

Out of work? Looking for a monthly salary of about RMB20,000? Naturally smell like flowers? You're in luck.

The Fogang Tianye Green World, a flower farm in Guangdong province, is looking to hire some aromatic young women - men, even naturally fragrant ones, need not apply - to help pick buds that would later be used to make floral teas. The one catch is that candidates must have a "pleasant" and "naturally sweet smelling" bodily odor.

The odor must also be "elegant, sweet and unspeakable" (now that we're on our fifth adjective, this has officially gotten weird) according to a company spokesperson. The bizarre job condition is allegedly due to the fact that "workers who sweat easily [and smell bad] may affect the scent and color of the flowers."

Workers are also required to shower with water steeped with grapefruit flowers - the sort of thing that actually sounds pretty nice, but is probably weird as hell if it's a job requirement.
