Which Itr (Perfume) did Nabī Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam use?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

We were unable to locate the precise method of the application of Itr by Nabī Sallallāhu Alaihi Wa Sallam.

However, it is reported by Aishah Radhiyallāhu Anhā in a Hadīth of Sahīh al-Bukhāri that Nabī Sallallāhu Alaihi Wa Sallam loved to initiate all his activities from the right side whether it pertained to wearing shoes, combing hair, or performing Wudhu.[1] From this Hadīth, it may be concluded that it is a Sunnah to apply Itr first onto the right hand. 

It is reported in a narration that Nabī Sallallāhu Alaihi Wa Sallam used to apply the perfumes musk and amber. [2]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
