Apostate prophet meditates deeply; Can true prophets wear perfume and find the opposite sex attractive?



In answer to the video "Allah is Merciless"

A neat and clean, as well as pure appearance helps one to remain mentally uplifted everyday, and gives the correct introduction of one's personality to others. This is a reason why, the prophet is reported to have avoided both in his private and religious life, foul smelling foods and used to perfume himself on all occasions, always seeking to be presentable so as to not offend neither the humans nor the angels, especially in a religious gathering context 
7:31"O children of Adam, take your adornment at every place of prayer. Eat and drink, but not to excess. Verily, He does not love those who commit excess".
The manner in which he embodied universal and Quranic principles and moralities led his closest entourage to be among his earliest followers, contrary to other prophets including Jesus, and one of his wives, Aisha, who loved and supported him throughout his life, is reported as describing him as a walking Quran. This means that whatever is stated in the Quran such as kindness towards women, prayers and charity, love and respect for poor, needy, orphans etc. can all be found in his life. His connection with the book was such, internalizing its warnings, glad tidings and lessons to such an extent that he once said of certain suras (Hud, Waqia, Mursalat, Naba, Takwir) passing over the upheavals of the Hereafter as having caused him to grow old.

He was evidently tender hearted towards his wives, hence him being described in some narrations as if that love was enforced upon him. Without that intensity in love, he would never have been able to marry and be dutiful to all the women that he did all the while maintaining his multiple responsibilities, as a prophet, leader, army commander, judge, friend, as well as his personal daily and long nights of spiritual dedication. 

Thus the prophet, although he embodied piety was not an ascetic in the sense that he renounced this life's ligitimate pleasures. That intense love, he had for his wives, and the additional burdens it created, were nevertheless made bearable by the comfort and tranquility the prayers provided him (Sunan an-Nasa’i 3939).
