The answer is Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

I assume this is what you mean - Carbon Dioxide is the waste product of respiration that can suffocate some animals, including humans. It is used by plants in photosynthesis, and these plants produce Oxygen (O2). It reacts with lime water and turns it a sort of milky colour.

The equation for this reaction is

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) ---> Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) + Water (H2O)

Describe a simple test to distinguish organic and inorganic compounds?

Salt(inorganic, polar) has no odor. it doesn't also burn but it dissolves in water. Naphthalene is aromatic (most organic compounds has odor), can catch fire (because of carbon and hydrogen backbone) and doesn't dissolves in water because it is non-polar while H2O is polar (it has positive and negative ends) .therefore they are imiscible because like only dissolves like.

Why is ethanol commonly used in perfumes and aftershaves?

Ethanol, like other alcohols, is a colourless liquid with a sweet distinctive smell. As a good solvent, it is effective for use in perfumes, etcetera, as it effectively dissolves the ingredients and blends them well. Moreover, it is volatile -- due to its tendency to evaporate quickly, it adds an effect on the perfume which helps spread its smell (or diffuse) at a faster rate. Like most alcohols, ethanol also has a cooling effect on the skin, which is evidently soothing, hence an effective solvent for aftershaves.
