Answer 2

I am not familiar with Bakhor.  I am from Pakistan and it is possible we have different name for Bakhor.  Fast doesn break with

unpleasant smell.  

Prophet Mohammad SAW instructed all Muslims in one Hadith says, even if you have to borrow money for good fragrance use it on you specially when you join congregation of Jumah,  The idea behind is that if most men are wearing pleasnt fragrance, they will overcome the body odor or bad breath of few men in the Jumah or Taraweeh congregation and all men will be able to concentrate on their prayers to Allah and the recitation of Quran that Imam does in every rakah during Jamah prayers and Taraweeh after Isha prayers

in the month of Ramadhan when Masajids are almost full of men and women in female section of Masajids.

Answer 4

Inhaling Bukhoor during ramadan breaks your fast because it contains a chemical in the smoke that reaches the stomach.
