salam,
I would like to know in which hadith is mentioned that using alcohol for other than inner consumption is haram.
Thank you,

Actually no one claimed as such. The problem with Khamr (alcohol derived from dates and grapes), being najs/impure according to all madhabs, is that if it touches your skin or cloth, you can't pray salat unless you wash that area. That touch in itself is permissible, but prayer with it is not. This is just like permissibility of soaking your hands in blood, however you can't pray with it until you wash your hands.

When a company certifies a perfume as "halal", we people take it to mean free of any impurity - alcohol, blood etc.. which doesn't void our prayers. Otherwise what is the point of this certification, to remind us that wiping over your skin with blood, alcohol or any other impurity is permissible?
