The answer

There is no harm in a fasting person applying moisturizing cream to his hands or face, or using deodorant, or perfume. Some scholars disliked the use of incense, and some held that inhaling it breaks the fast because it has a tangible substance that reaches the interior of the body. The correct view is that it does not break the fast, but it is preferable to avoid it to steer clear of disagreement.
