Abu Hurayrah radiyallahu anhu narrates: Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe  wasallam said, The itr of a male is the fragrance of which spreads and  has less colour in it (i.e. rose, kewrah etc.), and the itr of a female  is that, which has more colour and less fragrance (hina, mendhi,  za’faraan etc.).
Commentary
Males  should use a fragrance that is masculine, as colour does not suit them.  Women should use a feminine fragrance, which does not give off a strong  fragrance, it must be such that its fragrance does not reach strangers.
