The issue is one of hygiene. I wouldn't hire someone who came to an interview absolutely reeking of cigarette smoke either.
I've never equated the smell of people who cook a lot of East Indian food and subsequently smell like that food with poor hygiene. I consider hygiene things like brushing your teeth, washing your body and clothes, wearing pit stick, etc.

Smelling like the food you cook in your house doesn't mean you have poor hygiene IMO.
