Is it true that there is a difference between perfumes and creams that contain alcohol, where the percentage of alcohol in perfumes is concentrated and high, while in creams its percentage is simple and immersed, which makes the use of creams permissible? And is it permissible to use every cream that contains a small percentage of alcohol?

The -based ruling is that alcohol is impure, and it is impermissible to use products that contain it, except out of necessity. However, if alcohol transforms into another substance, differing from it in its properties and reality, such that no trace of the original alcohol remains, then it becomes permissible to use products containing it.
