Perfume and Prayer: Is it Permissible Despite Alcohol Evaporation?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Alcohol is volatile in nature i.e it evaporates very quickly. If perfume (containing alcohol) is applied on clothes, the alcohol in it would evaporate quickly leaving only fragrance. Considering that, is it permissible to apply perfume and offer prayers?
