The first part is okay; the final section on correcting the sentences is almost all misunderstood.  For example:

2. We will not sell perfume to anyone in glass bottles.

Unclear: There must be a reason, and depends what kind of perfume and which part of “anyone”
Correct: We will not sell perfume bottles to our customers.

The implication of the original sentence is that the people are in glass bottles, something which is very strange.  The correct form would be, "We will not sell perfume in glass bottles to anyone".
