Jami at-Tirmidhi 2787 (Book 43, Hadith 59) #28429
Wearing Fragrance Appropriately

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of wearing fragrances for men and women, with the emphasis on women wearing fragrances that are not too strong.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah said: "Fragrance for men is that which its scent is apparent and its color is hidden, and fragrance for women is that which its color is visible and its scent is hidden". (Meaning when leaving the home as indicated by the previous chapter. As far as in the presence of the husband, then the woman may wear fragrant perfume)
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ، 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

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of wearing fragrances appropriately. For men, it is important to wear a fragrance that has an apparent scent but a hidden color. For women, it is important to wear a fragrance that has an apparent color but a hidden scent. This means that when leaving the home, women should not wear overly strong perfumes as this could be seen as inappropriate in public settings. However, when in the presence of their husbands they may choose to wear stronger scents if they wish. This hadith emphasizes modesty and appropriateness in all aspects of life including clothing and perfume choices for both men and women alike.
