A prefume bottle burst when placed inside the flame because -

• The perfume contains alcoholic substances like the ethyl alcohol or the ethanol.

• Now,this ethyl alcohol is highly flammable and has very low flash point.

• And,when we give heat in the perfume bottle,the ethanol in the perfume gets enough heat to reach the flash point.

• After reaching the flash point,the combustion of ethanol takes place inside the bottle and the internal combustion created pressure causes explosion.
