Europeans do consider Americans unduly obsessed with bodily hygiene. You can't readily buy douche. They think only people with weird diseases would want to use such a product. As it's not deemed socially necessary I now shower every other day (unless I get sweaty; not something that happens often in British weather). It's mainly to preserve the dye job just that much longer. My Italian other half is not so industrious about showering. He does not smell, but his hair gets greasy after about four days so I nag him to shower.
