Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
You must inform her of the details if your command for good is contingent upon that. She might refrain from wearing perfume out of respect for your opinion without knowing she is committing a wrongdoing. Even if she does not typically wear perfume in front of non-mahram men due to her own preferences, she may be unaware of the ruling regarding the prohibition of wearing perfume. In this case, it is necessary to inform her as part of the obligation to teach the ignorant.
May you be successful in all good.
