Perfumed means scented on purpose, usually strongly. Perfumed soap, heavily perfumed, perfumed air.
It nearly always implies added scent rather than natural, which is why it is often a complaint — perfumed products are the ones people with sensitive skin avoid. Unperfumed and fragrance-free are the labels sought instead. Applied to air or a room it can be pleasant. Note that perfume comes from the Latin for through smoke, since scent was first made by burning.
