Brief Answer:
perfumrs contain alcohol and not mech

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for posting on healthcaremagic. I have gone through your question and understand your concern. Let me mention that perfumes contain certain dissolved substances in alcoholic base. Moreover the spraying system prevents use of a big quality at a time. So even if your daughter sprays some of it there is less possibility of harm. The alcohol may make her feel dizzy or she might have a stomach upset. I do not think any other harm is likely to occur. I would suggest visiting a doctor only in case she develops any presentations/symptoms.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
