Q: Is applying oud halaal or haraam since in many oud’s, the producers add alcohol although the alcohol is evaporated at about 15°C to 20°C (as per the producers comments)?
A: Generally, the alcohol that perfumes contain are synthetic and chemically produced alcohol. If this is the case then such perfumes can be used.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
