[S1aveofA11ah]

There is a good section in the book called 'The Prophet's Medicine' by Ibn Jauziyah (I think) - quite a well known green, hard backed book in English. One thing I heard is that the good soul like good scents.

[yasin ibn Ahmad]

From Bukhari
Volume 7, Book 72, Number 806:

Narrated 'Aisha :

I used to perfume Allah's Apostle with the best scent available till I saw the shine of the scent on his head and shine beard.

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 813:

Narrated Thumama bin 'Abdullah;

Anas never used to refuse (a gift of) scent and used to say that the Prophet never used to refuse (a gift of) scent.

Inshallah it helps
