Question
Is it permissible to use perfume on Passover, or should it be sold as chametz?
Answer
Hello,
There is no need to sell it in the sale of chametz.
According to the law, it is permissible to use it even if it contains chametz, as it is already spoiled. However, some are stringent and do not use it.
[It is important to know that there are those who provide kashrut certification for perfumes and cosmetics, and they do not discuss the ingredients at all, but believe there is no need for them not to contain chametz, and therefore it is fine. Thus, such certification is meaningless].
