2788. ʿImrān bin Ḥuṣain said: "The Prophet ﷺ 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- Urjawān.[1] (Da'if) This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route.
٢٧٨٨ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ خَيْرَ طِيبِ الرَّجُلِ مَا ظَهَرَ رِيحُهُ وَخَفِيَ لَوْنُهُ، وَخَيْرَ طِيبِ النِّسَاءِ» مَا ظَهَرَ لَوْنُهُ وَخَفِيَ رِيحُهُ. وَنَهَى عَنْ مِيثَرَةِ الْأُرْجُوَانِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

This Hadīth teaches that women are not allowed to apply fragrant substance, perfume etc., when leaving the home, and the men are not allowed to use a fragrance that leaves color because it resembles women.
