Is it obligatory to ask and investigate the existence of alcohol in perfumes if someone anoints me with them?

The statement that there is no alcohol-free perfume is incorrect, as many oil-based perfumes are free of it. The adopted by us is that alcohol is impure because it is an intoxicant, and it is not permissible to use perfumes mixed with it before its transformation. If spray perfumes contain alcohol, then whatever touches clothes and the body from it must be washed. If you doubt its transformation before mixing, the default is non-transformation and the obligation to wash whatever touched you.
