Yes, you can take glass perfume bottles on a plane in your carry-on bags, but they must adhere to the 3-1-1 liquids rule. This means your perfume should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters), and all liquid containers must fit in a single, quart-sized, zip-top, clear plastic bag. For checked bags, there are no restrictions on the size of glass perfume bottles, but it's wise to pack them well to prevent breakage.
