Soap that has a pleasant and good scent: does it fall under the prohibitions of ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Does soap that has a pleasant and good scent fall under the prohibitions of ihram?

The Shaykh:
Yes, the one whose scent you smell, this falls under the prohibitions of ihram, yes.

The questioner:
And likewise, may Allah preserve him, he asks about toothpaste: if it is scented, is it permissible for the one in ihram to use it?

The Shaykh:
If it has a scent that is smelled and spreads, it is not permissible; but if it has no scent except to the extent that it freshens the mouth, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
