What is the ruling on one who perfumes himself with a fragrance that bothers some of the worshippers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : For example, the one who is not Arab, and so on, has a scent like yours, or the Arab, for example, or others, dislikes it, and so on. It may be stronger than his, or others', or for example, oil for the head, or so on, may cover the forehead. Is it considered a scent, for example?

Answer : As for the hadith
by the same things as the children of Adamمما يتأذى منه بنو آدم
Sahih Muslim 564c
it is general. So if it happens that this type of fragrance is considered a fragrance by a group of people, while another group is bothered by it because they are not accustomed to its smell, then the situation differs in this. And I think that those who are bothered by it are not bothered by it because it is foul, but because its smell is strong. Some of the musk used by some people now is natural, but for some people, I seek refuge in Allah, if they were to smell it, it would strike their head, and they would start not seeing the road. Yes?
