5130. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If a woman goes out to the Masjid, let her perform Ghusl to remove perfume as she would perform Ghusl to remove Janâbah (impurity following sexual activity).'" This is an abridged form of it. (Sahîh)

Commentary
1. 'To the Masjid' means going out of home, whether she goes to the mosque, or to someone's house, or to the farm. The mosque is specifically mentioned, because it is the place of purity. Fragrance is extremely superior therein, but a woman may not perfume herself even while going to the mosque. Hence, other places are out of the question.
2. 'Perform Ghusl', because the perfume touches from one part of the body to another. The effect of perfume, therefore, would not be obliterated unless one takes full bath.
