Use/Wear Perfumes - WordReference Forums
"Use" perfume (s) covers that but also could if you want include perfumes added to soaps, shower gels, air fresheners, detergents, scented candles and many other applications.

when [As much as + clause] comes at the beginning of a sentence
Yet, as much as chemical signals are really a background sense for most of our daily lives, a simple trip into any bathroom might tell a different story as a glance around the room would reveal scented soaps, shampoos, perfume, flavored toothpaste, mouthwash, and air freshener.

a box, a package, and a packet | WordReference Forums
