What is a Perfume tester? Why I should buy or not buy a tester?

A Tester is the one of the bottles that the company of Fragance (whatever the brand is) sends to Department Stores or Boutiques so they can show the smell of their fragrance line.In stores usually they don't sell the tester bottle. The tester bottle can be made out of live merchandiseand just add a sticker "demostation tester" or can be send on a tester box with a engraved label "tester, not for sale".

 The tester is EXACTLY the same fragrance as any bottle in the perfume case. It does not smell diferent or stronger that is a myth!.

It is more affordable to buy a tester because you are saving $ on packaging. You are not paying for the box. Sometimes the Tester bottle comes with out cap.

To give a tester bottle as a gift  to a friend  is not as appealing unless you know the person very well and you know that she or he uses that fragrance always.

If you like a scent as your signature smell, or you want to try a scent for first time and you don't want to spend all that much, I recommend you go for a tester bottle. Enjoy!
