I think the main issue of transporting fragrances is that it contains alcohol, a flammable substance. Apparently it isn't legal to ship flammable substances as it poses a threat to an airplane (it it ever caught fire or exploded, etc.).

Also, there might be an issue of customs/border control allowing a flammable substance into a country. As many of you will remember, last August, there was a ban on the possession of liquids on a commercial aircraft, as there was a threat of liquid explosives. It's possible that customs may still view a flammable liquid as an explosive and thus, a weapon of terror.

I'm not 100% sure though. This is only what I think is the biggest issue of shipping fragrances internationally. If shipping was contained within a country, it would eliminate yet another source (customs/border control) that would confiscate a fragrance.
