Hey there:

First thing... as you imagine. Don't flush the toilet anymore!

Then, need to reach into the toilet and use hand and really reach up and inside the toilet bowl itself... see if you can find it up inside.

If can't find it up inside toilet, then will need to unhook the toilet and lift it up and see if it made it through to place you can grab it.

Worst case bottle isn't there and it got down in main drain... but let's not worry about that now.

How big was perfume bottle? Are you planning to try to lift this yourself... or calling a plumber?

Here is a picture of a cut away view of toilet so you might undertsand how the trap inside toilet is set up.

Hope it helps. Answer my questions, see what else we can do.
