4368. It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Mûsâyyab said: "Whoever wants to offer a sacrifice when Dhul-Hijjah begins, let him not remove anything from his hair or nails." I (the narrator) mentioned that to 'Ikrimah, and he said: "Should he not also keep away from women and perfume?"[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
The intent of 'Ikrimah is that when one is required to avoid having his hair cut, the use of women and fragrance should also be forbidden, because resemblance with the Muḥrim would be complete only in that event. He might originally have considered it the personal utterance or statement of Sa'eed bin Musayyab and perhaps the Marfu' narration might not have reached him.
