What are the exact words of the Sahih Hadith which forbids muslim women from using perfume outdoors.

Abu Huraira (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (sallalahu alayhi wa salaam) said,
The perfume of males is that which gives out fragrance and no colour and the
fragrance of females is that which gives out colour and no fragrance.
