Summary
Giving perfume to worshippers after the iqamah has been called is makruh (disliked). The hadith forbids voluntary prayers once the iqamah is called so that a person can focus on the obligatory prayer, so other activities such as distributing perfume are even more to be avoided as they can disturb the congregation's concentration. The perfume is better given before the iqamah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, perbuatan memberi minyak wangi kepada jemaah selepas iqamah dilaungkan adalah perbuatan yang makruh.
