917. ‘Āishah narrated: “I put perfume with musk in it on the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ before he assumed Ihrām, and on the Day of An-Nahr before he performed Tawāf around the House.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
There is something related to this from Ibn ‘Abbās.
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of ‘Āishah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They held the view that when the Muḥrim stones Jamrat Al-Aqabah on the Day of An-Nahr, and he slaughters and shaves – or shortens (his hair) – then everything is lawful for him that was previously unlawful except for (relations with) women. This is
the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad, and Iṣhāq.
It has been reported that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "Everything is lawful for him except for women and perfume." Some of the people of knowledge, among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, followed this; and it is the view of the people of Al-Kūfah.

Commentary
Most scholars are of the opinion that use of perfume before assuming Iḥrām is allowed, and also allowed before the Tawāf around the House on the Day of An-Nahr. The Aḥnāf are also of the same opinion.
