I am unaware of legal proceedings to put a stop to this sort of behavior.
eBay is not in a position to determine who is telling the truth in these sorts of scenarios (which must happen by the tens of thousands each day across the platform), and thus will not mediate these sorts of disputes.
Since eBay's position is that the customer is always right, eBay will let her keep the perfume and your money.
Personally, I take the long view: I have made more than enough money here to offset the periodic loss resulting from such buyer behavior.
That does not take the sting out of being cheated... but this sort of thing is a fact of life when selling on line to the general public.
You can report the buyer to eBay, and then block her from purchasing from you again.
(And count your blessings that this was not a $1,000 item.)
