× No, I don't like a smell perfume because I'm sensitive about a strong smell sore.

✓ No, I don't like the smell of perfume because I'm sensitive to strong smells.

The phrase 'a smell perfume' is incorrect; 'the smell of perfume' is the correct form. Also, 'sensitive about a strong smell sore' is incorrect; it should be 'sensitive to strong smells'. The adjective 'strong' modifies 'smells', and 'sensitive to' is the correct preposition to express sensitivity.

× I always ask my wife not to use anything.

✓ I always ask my wife not to use any.

The phrase 'not to use anything' is grammatically correct but sounds unnatural in this context. 'Not to use any' is more appropriate when referring to perfume or scented products, implying 'not to use any perfume'.

× No, I rarely use perfume in my daily life but on special occasions such as anniversary or participating in parties, I aware it's a little.

✓ No, I rarely use perfume in my daily life, but on special occasions such as anniversaries or parties, I am aware it's a little.

The phrase 'such as anniversary or participating in parties' is incorrect. It should be 'such as anniversaries or parties'. Also, 'I aware it's a little' is incorrect; it should be 'I am aware it's a little'. The verb 'aware' requires the auxiliary verb 'am' and the phrase 'it's a little' is unclear but kept as is for minimal correction.

× No, I definitely buy perfume as a gift without being asked by my wife or my mother because I think perfume is a too expensive for me to buy regularly.

✓ No, I definitely don't buy perfume as a gift without being asked by my wife or my mother because I think perfume is too expensive for me to buy regularly.

The sentence lacks the negative modal verb 'don't' to express refusal. Also, 'a too expensive' is incorrect; 'too expensive' should be used without the article 'a'.

× Yes, I think a perfume is uh, expensive in general because it is produced by well known companies such as Coco Chanel or Coach.

✓ Yes, I think perfume is, uh, expensive in general because it is produced by well-known companies such as Coco Chanel or Coach.

The article 'a' before 'perfume' is unnecessary when speaking generally. 'Perfume' is an uncountable noun here. Also, 'well known' should be hyphenated as 'well-known' when used as a compound adjective before a noun.

× So I am rarely buy it as a gift, but if my wife asks me to buy, I will buy it.

✓ So I rarely buy it as a gift, but if my wife asks me to buy it, I will buy it.

The phrase 'I am rarely buy' is incorrect; the correct form is 'I rarely buy'. Also, 'if my wife asks me to buy' should be followed by the object 'it' to clarify what is being bought.
