    I have to add something else to the conversation. I am not quite 
familiar with the superstitions of your countries. But here in 
Greece we avoid to give perfume as a present to people we care and 
love. It symbolizes seperation and clash between the person who 
gives the perfume and the one who receives the perfume. The only way 
to counter the bad effect is the person who accepts the perfume, to 
give back  to the person who gives the perfume a couple of coins. 
Just for info!!!
