The use of perfume by the fasting person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a fasting person using perfume with the intention of smelling it?

Answer:
What contradicts the nature of perfume is only incense or the fine powder, such as musk, which rises to the nose. As for a mere scent or a mere fragrance, there is no harm in it being on his clothes, garments, or body; there is no harm.
