Let’s start with the most frequently asked questions from our clients:

What is a tester?

Testers are original perfumes that are often offered in an outer brown/white carton box without a label or cellophane or sometimes without box, also called Unboxed Testers. Testers are most often produced in the largest range of branded perfume. The most commonly used packaging is 100 ml but may be in embodiment 50, 75, 90, 125 or any other variant. The purpose of this type of product is to show and present the scent before being purchased in big retail shops and shopping malls. Usually, the testers are not for sale, but very often they are sold and resold in the distribution and sales network. Each tester contains 100% original perfume liquid, identical in composition to the officially packaged perfume.

What is the difference between box packed perfume and tester?

From a marketing perspective, the difference between retail box perfume and Tester is in their packaging. The retail packed one comes in fancy branded company box and the tester doesn’t! Testers contain the same perfume liquid, but often sold without the luxury package. It is possible sometimes to find them without box, or without cap and tags that perfumes with official packaging have.

Why should I buy a tester?


There are a lot of ways you can benefit from purchasing a tester, while getting the same product that you would get while buying a packaged perfume.

Buying testers is the best way to purchase a large bottle of a fragrance that is otherwise extremely expensive. It is also an excellent way to stock up on your favorite perfumes or a fragrance that you always wear as a signature scent.

Testers are most beneficial when you want to try out a variety of new fragrances in the market without spending a truckload of money on them. Online perfume companies like Perfumekart.in sell boxed/Unboxed testers of the fragrances available in the market at almost 50-70% discount.

Perfume manufacturers make sure that they produce giant quantities of testers so that perfume-retailers would always have plenty of fragrance to satisfy the curiosity of their clients and help them decide which scent to purchase. Because of this, companies often end up making a lot more testers than they are actually needed by stores, which are then purchased by discount fragrant stores.                  

Discount fragrant stores like Perfumekart.in buy the unused testers in Bulk and promote them so that you can purchase them at unbelievably low prices. At times , you might be lucky to get Old stock/near expiry perfumes/Outer box damaged/without box perfume testers of selective brands at throwaway prices during clearance sale at Perfumekart.in .

Since testers are meant for commercial retail, many people believe that they are somehow inferior to the packaged fragrances that are generally sold in stores. However, testers are the same as the ‘real’ fragrance because testers are used to give customers an idea of what the actual packaged fragrance would be like.

Perfumekart.in offers a wide range of testers imported directly from the manufacturer and have never been used before. Since they come directly from the manufacturer, we guarantees your satisfaction with the tester you purchase, which is just a less expensive way of owning the fragrance you have wanted all along.
