The answer

It is known among scholars that the prohibition in the Hadith against refusing perfume is interpreted as an act of dislike (makruh). Al-Tirmidhi categorized it as such, and no scholar has challenged the ruling of dislike, nor is it known that anyone has ever stated that refusing perfume is forbidden (haram).
