Sunan Ibn Majah 4002 (Book 36, Hadith 77) #33357
Wearing Perfume to the Mosque

SUMMARY: Women should not wear perfume when going to the mosque as it invalidates their prayer.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah met a woman who was wearing perfume and heading for the mosque. He said: "O slave woman of the Compeller, where are you headed?" She said: "To the mosque". He said: "And have you put on perfume for that?" She said: "Yes". He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Any woman who puts on perfume then goes out to the mosque, no prayer will be accepted from her until she takes a bath.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ مَوْلَى أَبِي رُهْمٍ، - وَاسْمُهُ عُبَيْدٌ - أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، لَقِيَ امْرَأَةً مُتَطَيِّبَةً تُرِيدُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَقَالَ يَا أَمَةَ الْجَبَّارِ أَيْنَ تُرِيدِينَ قَالَتِ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ وَلَهُ تَطَيَّبْتِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ تَطَيَّبَتْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهَا صَلاَةٌ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ
