What exactly is a "Tester"?

A fragrance tester is a 100% authentic, brand-new, and completely full bottle of perfume or cologne. Luxury brands manufacture these bottles specifically for department stores to use as backups or counter displays.

Because they are intended for store use rather than retail shelving, the brands cut down on packaging costs:

• The Packaging: Instead of the shiny, branded retail box, testers come in plain, eco-friendly white or brown cardboard "tester boxes."

• The Cap: Some testers include the decorative cap, while others come with a plastic shipping guard instead of the heavy outer cap.

• The Juice: The fragrance inside is identical—it is the exact same concentration, strength, and premium formula as the standard retail version.

If it's a tester, why is it completely full?

Customers often ask us: "If a store used this as a tester, shouldn't it be empty?"

We never sell used or sprayed fragrances. The testers on our site are factory overstock. When luxury brands overproduce display stock, or when department stores rotate their seasonal shelves, thousands of pristine, un-sprayed backup bottles are left sitting in master warehouses.

We obtain these untouched, surplus backup lots in massive bulk quantities and pass the incredible savings directly to you. If you are buying a fragrance for yourself and don't need the fancy retail box, buying a tester is the ultimate industry secret to getting a luxury scent at a fraction of the price!
