Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
1.       If there are opposing fatwas on any issue, for example one fatwa state that it is permissible and the other states that it is not permissible and both fatwas are from reliable sources and competent Muftis and also academically substantiated, the one should follow the ruling of the prohibition and abstain. (Darse-Tirmizi, Mufti Taqi Usmani, vol 4- Kitabul Buyoo)  This is also understood from other principles of fiqh.
If the alcohol in perfumes is synthetic, it is permissible. Electronic pictures are potentially durable, therefore generally Electronic pictures are generally prohibited.
2.       A Muslim should exercise precaution in what he eats. If the source of the ingredient is not stated, and there is a possibility of it being haram, one should exercise precaution.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
