Not not possible: Anaphylactic shock results from ingestion of an allergen (think peanut or fish allergy) which is absorbed into the blood stream and causes your entire body to experience severe symptoms. Exposure to perfume on the skin would lead to rash and would be immediate. Also exposure to the scent would cause coughing that would be immediate. Try to avoid anything that makes you cough or gives you a rash.

Probably not: Anaphylaxis due to allergen trigger usually requires an antibody to have been made in the past and present in sufficient quantity at the time of exposure (peanut allergy for example). Antibodies to perfumes generally do not exist. An irritant reaction, however, can occur and can cause a reactive lung problem or vocal cord spasm producing somewhat similar symptoms. Go to ER if ever in doubt.
