Testers come in various sizes and packaging formats. They are typically supplied in plain white or brown boxes, sometimes with or without a cap, and may be labeled “Tester.”

Despite the packaging, the fragrance inside is identical to the retail version. The only difference is the presentation—and the price.

All our testers are unused and contain the full original quantity. Buying testers is a smart way to enjoy luxury fragrances at a discounted price.

FAQs 

Is it the same product as the retail version?
Yes, absolutely. Testers are produced by the same fragrance houses and contain the same formula. They are used for promotional purposes and are 100% authentic.

Do testers have the same quality and scent?
Yes. The scent and concentration are exactly the same as the retail product. Remember that fragrances often take 30 minutes to an hour to fully develop on your skin.

How do I know it’s a full, unused bottle?
All testers are sealed at our warehouse and inspected to ensure they are unused and filled to full capacity before shipping.

Why are testers packaged in plain boxes or unboxed?
Since testers are not intended for retail sale, they are supplied in cost-effective packaging—usually a plain white or brown box, sometimes without a cap, and often labeled “Tester” or “Not for Sale.”

Can I buy testers from My Perfume Shop?
Yes! We offer the largest collection of testers in Africa. You can save up to 50% compared to the price of the same fragrance in its retail packaging.

What’s the difference between a tester and a retail product?
There is no difference in the fragrance itself. The only variation is the packaging—typically a plain cardboard box and occasionally no lid.

Why do testers look different?
Tester boxes may have text such as “Tester – Not for Sale” and are often less decorative. The focus is on the fragrance, not the packaging.

Why do some testers come without caps?
Some testers are supplied without caps. This does not affect the quality of the perfume. While we aim to supply testers with caps where possible, the savings often make up for this minor difference. If you have a specific preference, feel free to contact us for more information.

Is it legal to buy and sell tester perfumes?
Yes, it is completely legal, provided the buyer is informed that the item is a tester and is being sold as such.
