Perfume 101. Things to know About Tester Perfumes.
BASAHIN HANGGANG IBABA, NASA BABA YUNG PINAKA IMPORTANTENG PART HIHI ๐
๐ธ๐ธPara sa mga di familiar sa tester perfumes, mga karaniwang tanong ay:
๐ANO PO ANG TESTER PERFUME?
Tester Perfumes have the exact same fragrance like the original, only without the fancy retail packaging. This is the one we see in some perfume store at the mall that they use for demonstration/ testing purposes. Testers usually come with a white or brown box and sometimes with โTester Perfumeโ label. Testers may come with or without a cap โ it depends on how it was originally produced by the manufacturer. But mostly comes in its original box and no tester label in it. (Take note: We try to always provide the original box due to demand since most of our buyers wanted their perfume in its original look because they will give it as gift)
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS ORIGINAL AND AUTHENTIC?
All the tester perfumes that we sell are original and authentic in a sense that we are working with direct manufacturers. BUT we DO NOT claim it as original perfumes like what you see in the malls. Yes, it has the same packaging like the original perfumes (serves as a guide only) but these are tester perfumes ONLY. Meaning it has 2-5% lesser oil content compared to the one we see in the mall/originals. Lesser in oil content does not mean the product is not genuine. This is the same perfume that sales agent use to demo their products and originally came from the same manufacturer of specific brands. If you want to order original perfumes, you can always find it in the malls near you. Our tester perfumes can also be your guide in finding the best original perfume that suits you before buying an original one. It is important that you know the difference of original perfumes in the mall and and authentic testers so you wont be having issues with your clients in the future to help them manage their expectations. Don't claim that this is Exactly the perfumes they see in the mall and go back to us when they complain. It is your job to explain it well to your clients. We are honest and transparent to what we actually offer, please do the same. (you may use this FaQs as reference for your Buyers and always put DISCLAIMER that this are tester perfumes) If you want to order original perfumes, you can always find it in the malls near you. Our tester perfumes can also be your guide in finding the best original perfume that suits you before buying one.
NOTE: WE DO NOT SELL CLASS A, INSPIRATION OR IMITATIONS. WE ONLY SELL HIGH-QUALITY TESTER PERFUMES.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE OF ORIGINAL PERFUMES AND AUTHENTIC TESTER PERFUMES?
โ๏ธ There is no difference with the scent, but packaging and bottling can be slightly different as mentioned above.
ORIGINAL- the one you see in the mall that costs thousands, longevity is proven.
AUTHENTIC TESTERS- Almost equivalent/exact with its Original. No changes with the smell, but there are slightly difference/minimal when it comes to retail packaging (not as perfect as the mall stocks) and longevity varies, since this has 2-5% lesser oil content than the original ones (the logic here is, who would take the risk to use original, waste thousands of money just for demonstrating? Right? This is the reason why tester perfumes is cheaper than its original counterpart)
NOTE: WE DO NOT SELL SINGAPORE, HONGKONG, CLASS A, KNOCK OFFS AND IMITATIONS, again we are working with direct manufacturers. WE ONLY SELL HIGH-QUALITY AUTHENTIC TESTER PERFUMES or commonly known as US AUTHENTIC TESTERS simply because it was exported/bought in US.
FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING:
For example:
Original EDT lasts 4-6 hrs while Tester EDT lasts 2-3 hrs.
Original EDP lasts 6-8 hrs while Tester EDP lasts 4-6 hrs.
But take note that there are plenty of factors why perfume wont last.
- Weather
- Body Temp and chemistry (acidity)
- Food we eat
- sweat
- direct heat/ sunlight
Perfume is suitable and are made for Cold weathers, unfortunately Philippines is a tropic country. So do not expect your perfume will last 10- 24hrs.
But normally, as we already have tried our products before distributing it, EDT lasts 6-8 hrs and more when used in air conditioned rooms. (HONEST REVIEW) Longevity really varies depending on the user. Check our feedback. It is important that you know this.
WHY ARE YOUR ITEMS CHEAPER?
Our goal is to provide an opportunity to our Distributors/RE-SELLERS to earn EXTRA INCOME โ this is the reason why we offer wholesale price. Our items are cheaper because we get them directly from the manufacturers. WE BUY IT FOR BULKS, we do not put a tax for you to enjoy.
โ๏ธMall Originals are priced at P3000-10,000 and it depends on the brand, while Authentic Testers are priced at P2000-5000 depending on the brand. It's much cheaper since the main purpose of the product is for demonstration and not for sale.
๐WHERE DO YOU GET THE TESTER PERFUMES?
โ๏ธ We get this directly FROM Customs and direct manufacturers. We buy it in bulk so we can provide a much lower price.
HOW LONG IS THE SHELF LIFE?
There are no expiration dates on fragrance products, although recently manufacturers have indicated +/- 3-5 years from the date of production. Others say +/- 3 years from date of first use. Manufacturers indicate PAO (Period after Opening) on most of their products.
HOW LONG BEFORE THE SMELL WEARS OFF?
It depends on the concentration of the perfume. Please see photo for concentration guide.
Over time, contact with air, exposure to sunlight and high temperatures may affect the integrity of a fragrance. To maximize the shelf life of a fragrance, it is recommended that it be kept in a cool, dry place and and away from sunlight. Always place the cap back on the bottle and use the box (if applicable) for additional protective storage.
๐HOW TO DETERMINE A TESTER PERFUME FROM A MALL ORIGINAL
Check the photo on this post ๐๐๐
Sample is Clinique Happy women perfume
โ๏ธMall Authentic- Clear liquid
โ๏ธ Authentic Tester- Yellowish Liquid
โ๏ธ Original- lighter ang print ng label
โ๏ธ Tester- darker print
โ๏ธ Magkaiba po sila ng kulay ng sprayer. Para po mas madaling madetermine kung alin ang orig sa tester.
โ๏ธ Same with boxes but case to case depende sa brand. There are times na lighter and orig compare sa tester box or either way. Ginagawa po tlga nila ito para maiwasan maipag switch ang items.
โ๏ธ NEVER EVER COMPARE THIS TO MALL ORIGINALS KASI MERON PO TALAGA SILANG DIFFERENCES para maiwasan yung expectation especially ng buyers nyo, at maiwasan nila na iclaim na fake ang items , which is not. better explain to them before dealing. We encourage you to always tell them that they are buying is a tester perfume and not the mall original. Suggest to them na kung hanap tlga nila ay mall original, mag direct sila sa mall. Pwede nyo din naman sabhin na orig, but do it at your own risk. Transparent kami to everything.
๐Karaniwang reklamo ng mga รน reseller/ buyers ay:

๐BAKIT AFTER ILANG ORAS PARANG AMOY ALCOHOL?
๐BAKIT IBA ANG KULAY NG LIQUID AT BOX COMPARE SA MALL?
๐BAKIT NAG CHI-CHIP YUNG LABEL NG BOX OR NG BOTTLE?
๐BAKIT BALIKO YUNG SPRAYERS/ MAHIRAP PINDUTIN/ OR MAHINA ANG BUGA NG LIQUIDS?
๐GUSOT YUNG BOX!
๐DAMAGE YUNG BOTE!
๐DELAYED YUNG PACKAGE!
๐MAY LEAKAGE YUNG PERFUME!
๐HINDI DUMATING/MISSING YUNG ITEM/IBANG TAO ANG NAG RECEIVE
๐MALI ANG NAPASHIP/KULANG ANG NAIPASHIP
ANSWER IS:
โ๏ธ UNA sa lahat, wala pong PERFECT na tester perfumes, lahat po yan kahit yung mga binibenta sa mall na tester. Kaya wag na po kayo mag tataka kung may pag kkaiba ng konti sa kulay ng box, may konting dents/chipping yung bottle/cap or sprayers issue or gusot yung box at malabo yung print ng label. Hindi po ibig sabihin nito eh damage/fake yung items. But the liquid itself is authentic.
โ๏ธ sprayer issue is rarely to happen as we check our products before shipping out, although there are times na meron po tlgang baliko ang sprayers (common ito sa victoria secret pero we make sure na gumagana pa din ng maayos, sa mga regular designer perfumes, rarely to happen)
โ๏ธ Reason kung bakit mabilis mawala ang amoy is because of the weather condition, cold is better than hot, body chemistry ng user, at alcohol smell is because of the chemical reaction to your body.
โ๏ธ WHATโS CONSIDERED AS DAMAGE: Yung nabasag yung items upon shipment. Di na po kami ang liable dito, kundi ang courier na.
Label chipping/ box print chipping or faded/discoloration ng box is not considered as damage. Again, boxes and bottles, though almost the same as the mall authentics are not as luxurious as these are testers,only made for demonstrations
โ๏ธ Leakage is common issue, this is due to shipping courier toss/throw the item kahit na may label na fragile, hindi ito maiiwasan lalo na kung isship sa visayas and mindanao, also nangyayare yung leakage dahil may pressure yung mga bote lalo na kung shinip via airline. (Not covered sa replacement at rarely lang naman nangyayari.) we make sure na Bago po namin iship yung items, pinipili po namin mabuti at minimake sure na good condition yung perfume.
โ๏ธ Damages and Delays, hindi na po kami liable, ibibigay po namin ang details ng package incase madelay and kayo po ang incharge mag track.
โ๏ธ In case item is missing/ Hindi dumating sayo, or ibang tao ang nag receive. Hindi po kami mag sship ng panibago. We will provide proof of shipment and we will never scam you. Please also take note that couriers will never ask for an ID to verify if the person receiving is you. Nasa policy po tlga nila yon. Thats why kahit papaano we only use trusted couriers like LBC AND JRS.
โ๏ธ In rare case na mali ang naship namin or kulang, we will shoulder the sf for the replacement, but you will shoulder na po the sf pabalik samin. This not likely to happen naman kasi pinapakita po namin sainyo yung items bago iship.
BE A PERFUME ENTHUSIAST!
