The man sprayed "excessive" amounts of the scent before lighting a cigarette, firefighters say.

That's nothing unheard off, they use aerosol cans which is a highly flammable substance too much can be ignited which is what happened in this case.

Most aerosols typically use butane gas as propellant. Same chemical as lighter fluid and BBQ gas [emoji95]
