Contaminated alcohol, such as wine, invalidates prayer if it touches one's clothes or the place of prayer, because avoiding impurities is a condition for the validity of prayer. As for praying at home, in a place far from it, the prayer is valid and not invalidated by the smell of alcohol. A Muslim must avoid using moisturizers that contain alcohol and should not intentionally smell its odor, because wine is an abomination, and Allah has commanded to avoid it.
