When you fly, your perfume must be placed in the appropriate luggage based on its size. Perfume is considered a liquid at security, which implies strict rules for carry-on bags. Incorrect placement or a non-compliant bottle can lead to confiscation, even if the product is new.
The best practice is therefore to choose where to pack your perfume based on its capacity and your type of luggage, to avoid any unpleasant surprises at the airport.
