A perfume tester is a completely new product that has not been previously sprayed. Testers are authentic and 100% original, with the same fragrance as the original product. Manufacturers create testers for in-store sampling which may come in plain packaging and without decorative caps. As a result, these items are available at a lower cost. Regular Perfumes are packaged for sale. They include full retail packaging, and costs more due to their branding and presentation.
