. What is a Tester? A Tester is a perfume with no fancy packaging but with the same exact fragrance at an even better price. They are just like the one used to test the perfume in a Department Store but supplied in a plain box and often have the word tester printed on the bottle. Sometimes they do not come with a cap or box. These items are great for personal use but may not be great as gifts. Our testers are new unopened and have never been sprayed.(Testers and unboxed product are exactly the same as the regular perfume, except testers usually come in a plain box--with or without a cap. Unboxed products are the perfume or bath product, only without the box.)
