The answer

Every perfume product lists its ingredients on its packaging, including the percentage of alcohol, if any. Otherwise, it states that it is alcohol-free. If it does not state this and we do not know if it contains alcohol, there is no harm in using it, because the default ruling for things is permissibility until a sound evidence proves otherwise. As for the drying of a garment from perfume containing alcohol, this does not purify it; rather, it must be washed with water.
