He should not go out into the street perfumed. R. Abha b. R. Hiyya b. Abba said in the name of R. Johanan : This refers to a place where people are suspected of pederasty. Rab Sheshet said : They mean only with his garment [perfumed], but on his body [it is permitted] because it removes [the odour of] perspiration. Rab Pappa said : [To perfume] his hair is like [perfuming] his garment; but some declare that it is like [perfuming] his body.
