The ruling on a man using perfumes specific to women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on men using women's perfumes? Is it imitating the disbelievers?

Answer:
Perfumes specific to women are not used by men, and likewise, perfumes specific to men are not used by women. Yes. A man's perfume is that whose scent is apparent and whose effect is hidden. A woman's perfume is the opposite: its effect is apparent and its scent is hidden.
