Does using a spray deodorant with a strong scent and powder, with suspicion that it is related to incense, invalidate the fast?

A fasting person inhaling the scent of perfume or incense does not invalidate their fast, as long as the smoke or powder does not reach the throat, because scent has no physical body. Consequently, using deodorant does not invalidate the fast if nothing palpable from it reaches the throat.
