Question
Is it permissible to smell my wife's perfume when she is in a state of niddah?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There are several possibilities. A. Perfume that she holds in her hand is forbidden to smell. Perfume that she has sprayed on her body or clothes is forbidden to smell. B. It is permissible to smell a bottle of perfume that she regularly uses when she takes it and applies it to herself. C. Perfume that is usually worn by her and is now placed on the table is forbidden to smell [and this is not common in our time].
