Well it isn’t a salafi claiming this. It’s literally the command of the prophet (unless you want to say the prophet is a salafi which I would dispute). Muslims don’t believe in the moral autonomy of the human since we fully submit to the sovereignty of our creator which I understand is unfathomable for those with secular sensibilities.
What is contradictory? God made different laws for different categories of people.A man can add perfume in public but a women can’t.
Women can’t due to the probability of attracting the opposite sex.
Women are prohibited in doing this because she’ll be deemed as a “fornicator”.
It seems there’s a double standard:
Men can appear attractive in public by smelling good but women can’t. What if that man is attracting the opposite sex by adding perfume. Isn’t this a bit of contradictory?

Why is it contradictory? They are not the same. Explain what is contradictory about having two different sets of law for two different things.Men are allowed to add perfume but women aren’t. This sounds contradicting.

Yes, it is possible men will attract women when they wear perfume, it is also possible that women will become attracted to the face of a man yet there is no obligation of niqab set upon men.Men can attract the opposite sex by adding perfume in public.

Why does a woman have to wear a hijab and a man doesn't?
Stop being disingenuous. A woman and man don't attract the opposite sex in the same way or level. A woman wearing revealing clothes and perfume isn't the same as a man in a suit with perfume...because even you know deep down which of them will attract more people.
Our religion is not contradictory because it tries to close all the doors to zina in a consistent practical manner.

The Quran clearly emphasized the lowering the gaze for the male and hiding the adornments for women and guarding their chastity for both. This is done because it accounts for the predisposition of the sexes - men pursue women and rarely the other way around - so the two genders are given laws that restrict their ability to commit haram that would arise if they were given unfettered access to follow their predisposition.
You might say that sometimes women pursue men, and yes that is true, but Islamic law is based on probabilities. For example, gambling is acknowledged by Allah for having benefits, but it is outlawed because the probability of it being harmful is greater. Similarly, there might be something that is halal even though it is (for example) only 70% good i.e riq
Not different ways of attracting but different ways of acting on that attraction. Men are much more predisposed to pursuing a beautiful woman that they see compared to women who are much more likely to wait for the man to pursue. Hence, men are told to lower their gaze so and women are told to hide their beauty.I guess both men and women have different ways of being attracted to one another if that’s what you’re saying.
Interesting post nonetheless

Yes, however in this discussion it is assumed that the perfume is of the nature that other men will smell it hence the attraction bit of this conversation. Things like deodorant don’t overpower the smell of a place like perfume does
Nothing wrong with attracting the opposite sex provided that it is within the boundaries God has set. This is his body and we must take care of itWhat’s wrong with attracting the opposite sex,I mean it’s only natural.these people are ridiculous
