Question

What is the ruling on a bad odor with a source that has been sprayed with perfume and is not noticeable? Is it considered that the odor has dissipated in a place where it is not noticeable?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha

If the odor itself remains bad, one must distance oneself four amot from the place where the bad odor is noticeable.

If the bad odor has completely dissipated, it is permissible to recite words of holiness opposite it.
