Jami at-Tirmidhi 2788 (Book 43, Hadith 61) #28431
The Best Fragrance for Men and Women

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the best fragrance for men is one with an apparent scent and a hidden color, and the best fragrance for women is one with a visible color and a hidden scent.

Narrated 'Imran bin Husain: "The Prophet said to me: 'Indeed the best fragrance for men is what's scent is apparent and its color is hidden, and the best fragrance for women is what's color is visible and its scent is hidden'. And he prohibited Mitharatil-Urjawan (Mitharah was some type of saddle cloth. Some of the people of knowledge say it was a certain kind of cloth made of silk, and it preceded earlier under #1760. They disagree over Al-Urjawan, and perhaps it means whatever is red, meaning the Red Mitharah, see Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi)".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ خَيْرَ طِيبِ الرَّجُلِ مَا ظَهَرَ رِيحُهُ وَخَفِيَ لَوْنُهُ وَخَيْرَ طِيبِ النِّسَاءِ مَا ظَهَرَ لَوْنُهُ وَخَفِيَ رِيحُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَنَهَى عَنْ مِيثَرَةِ الأُرْجُوَانِ ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ
