There are two ingredients out of the ones you have quoted, which I am certain about, that cannot be applied while you are going to perform your salah, or touch the Qur'an al karim, or do any other kinds of worship. They are:

benzyl alcohol, and
cinnamyl alcohol.

No matter how good scientists say that the alcohol is preserved, isnt it still better to use non-alcoholic perfume, which are as widely available as the others?


In any event pick a musk that is non-alcoholic, Im sure you will still have the same fragrance!


Jazak'allah for your question.
