Your question is way to general to give a specific answer to.

In general, you would first have to determine how many constituents were in the mixture (usually by running a TLC in several different solvent systems).

Also, you would have to determine whether the perfume had alkaloids in it (amines) or acids (carboxylic acids).

Then to extact the alkaloid:
1) Add dilute HCl
2) repeated extraction with ether or CHCl3
3) neutralize water layer with NaOH
4) repeated extraction with ether or CHCl3
5) drying and evaporation of ether of CHCl3 layers

To isolate to carboxylic acid:
1) Add dilute NaOH
2) repeated extraction with ether or CHCl3
3) neutralize water layer with HCl
4) repeated extraction with ether or CHCl3
5) drying and evaporation of ether of CHCl3 layers

To isolate organics from orginal mixture:
1) repeated extraction with ether or CHCl3
2) drying and evaporation of ether of CHCl3 layers
3) Liquid chromatography of extract to isolate components of mixture (based of TLC analysis)
