Mr.Lonely asked:


Yes, of course i know tester means for clients try out, and Eau de toilet is for sell.
But yesterday, i bought a Hugo Energies Tester by accident, i didn’t read the description well. Later, i won the thing and i realized that… it’s a tester.
I asked the seller what is the different and he/she said: They’re the same.

Does it true ????

    yes testers are the same thing.

    They usually sell for less because they come without the box or either its missing something a regular perfume would come with if it were purchased at a store.

    I buy testers all the time. Their cheaper, its the same thing and their cheaper. Did i mention that their cheaper.

    Yes testers are just usually the fragrence with the word “Tester” slapped on it.

    “Eau de…” reffers to the concentration of the fragrence.

    * Perfume extract (Extrait): 15-40% (IFRA: typical 20%) aromatic compounds
    * Eau de Parfum (EdP), Parfum de Toilette (PdT): 10-20% (typical ~15%) aromatic compounds. Sometimes listed as “eau de perfume”.
    * Eau de Toilette (EdT): 5-15% (typical ~10%) aromatic compounds
    * Eau de Cologne (EdC): Chypre citrus type perfumes with 3-8% (typical ~5%) aromatic compounds
    * Splash and After shave: 1-3% aromatic compounds
