Yes it is matter. Since the receptors in your nose only respond to molecules, the "smell" of perfume must be matter in order to activate these receptors. The liquid in perfume is atomized by the pump, physically separating the molecules. The "smell" that you are sensing is the vaporization of aromatic organic molecules from the liquid.
