The Best Perfume for Men and Women

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught that the best perfume for men should be one whose scent is apparent but its color is hidden, and the best perfume for women should be one whose color is apparent but its scent is hidden.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'The perfume for men is that whose scent is apparent while its color is hidden, and the perfume for women is that whose color is apparent, while its scent is hidden'."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، - يَعْنِي الْحَفَرِيَّ - عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ طِيبُ الرِّجَالِ مَا ظَهَرَ رِيحُهُ وَخَفِيَ لَوْنُهُ وَطِيبُ النِّسَاءِ مَا ظَهَرَ لَوْنُهُ وَخَفِيَ رِيحُهُ

In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught us about the best perfumes to use. He said that men should use a perfume whose scent can be smelled easily but its color cannot be seen. For women, he said they should use a perfume whose color can be seen easily but its scent cannot be smelled too strongly. This teaches us that we must always take into consideration our environment when choosing what to wear or how to present ourselves in public. We must also remember to not overdo it with perfumes or other fragrances as this could cause discomfort or distraction in our surroundings.
