The answer

There are two types of exiting the state of Ihram (ritual consecration): The first is the minor (al-asghar), which is achieved by performing two out of three rituals (stoning, shaving/trimming the hair, and circumambulating the Kaaba). At this point, everything becomes permissible except for women. The second is the major (al-akbar), which is achieved by performing all three rituals, along with the ritual running (Sa'i) for those who are required to do it. If you have stoned and trimmed your hair, you have achieved the first release from Ihram, and it becomes permissible for you to use perfume, cut your nails, and similar actions. There is no blame upon you if you refrained from these actions, thinking that release from Ihram only occurs after the circumambulation (Tawaf).
