I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll try and give a complete answer and maybe I'll help. Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a urine testing procedure. It is designed to find out if the urine donor has been using ethanol (alcohol) over the past few weeks. It is commonly used as part of a rehabilitation program to help an alcohol abuser to stop using, by verifying that he/she is not relapsing and using alcohol. The only thing that makes EtG elevate is the use of alcohol. It does not test for anything else. There are no substances that "mess up" or interfere with the test.

No, perfume in no way shape or form will help you pass a drug test. Wearing perfume won't change anything. Also, most perfumes contain alcohol. So if alcohol is part of the drugs being tested for, whether a breathalyzer or blood test, drinking perfume will only make you test positive for alcohol.
