What happened to these bottles of perfumes?
Trey does not mention going to a cloakroom in the dialogue. He did not leave the perfumes in a cloakroom at the airport. A "cloakroom" is the room in which coats are kept in a public place (a museum or restaurant for example).
Trey does not mention running through the airport in the dialogue, nor does he mention "dropping" the bottles. To drop something is to physically lose control of it, so that it falls. This is not what happened to the bottles of perfumes.
Trey says that the perfume was "confiscated in customs". This means that customs officials took the perfume bottles as Trey was breaking international regulations or laws by trying to bring them back to the States. "Customs agents" or "officials" are officers who supervise the transport of goods or materials in between countries, generally stationed at all international airports.
Trey does not mention the bottles exploding when he went through the security check. The verb "to explode" means to burst due to internal pressure. This is not what happened to the perfume.
