I know what you're talking about but that isn't it. Dogs already have 10⁵ the olfactory sensitivity that humans do but when it comes to the odors that signify another dog's health (why they sniff butts) it's ten time more sensitive.

I worked at Microsoft before they introduced American hygiene expectations to new employee orientation for workers from a certain country heavily represented in the workforce, You could walk down an empty hallway and the BO would make your eyes water.

I know four (!) people who lived in that country and all four left for the same reason: the smell of sewage everywhere. A sensitive nose ,must be a curse there.

But no. Asians have a sharper olfactory sense across the board.
