Does smelling incense affect fasting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding incense, Honorable Shaykh, does it affect fasting?

Answer:
Yes, if he intentionally smells the incense and it reaches his brain, it breaks his fast. However, if the incense comes to him without his intention and enters his nose, or if dust or smoke enters his nose without his intention, it does not affect his fast because he cannot prevent it. Yes.
