Whats the difference between a tester bottle and a regular bottle of cologne/perfume?

I'm asking becuase I can get a really good deal on an unopened tester bottle but I want to make sure its no different than the regular stuff.Whats the difference between a tester bottle and a regular bottle of cologne/perfume?
I have bought ';tester'; bottles of perfume for years.....no, you don't go to a department store and buy the tester they have had out on their counter....and by the way, most of those have a higher concentration of the perfume oil to entice you to buy. I buy all of my perfumes through ebay as testers, they will state ';new in bottle'; or ';unopened';.....if I can't find what I want there, we have a local area where there are a lot of sellers and I can buy ';testers'; there also. Tester?? It means it comes in a plain box and no cutesy lid....that's all. No difference and I have yet to see them let a customer use the bottle....they have for them to spray on a card so you can smell it....but they don't sell that one, it's in-store use only.Whats the difference between a tester bottle and a regular bottle of cologne/perfume?
the contents are the same i guess. i usually buy tester stuff from ebay and i can't honestly tell the difference, and they're cheaper too.
A tester bottle is usually put out for people who walk through a store to use. This way, they can smell it on them before they decide to buy it! If you are getting a good deal on an unopened tester bottle, chances are, they had two of them and nobody used the first one. A tester bottle could also be a smaller container. Sometimes at the women's counter you can get perfume in little cheap tubes. It may be enough perfume for only one use, but you could wear it around for a day and then decide if you want to buy it or not! I hope I helped you find your answer!
a tester bottle is you can test the smell to see if you like it,





the regular bottle you can buy if you want it
there is no difference that I know of, other than it (the tester) is used in stores so people can test the perfume before they buy it.
the tester is for all to try and see if they like it and it is generaly not for sale as it is used up depends on the reular price and how much is left in the tester bottle whethter or not you get a good price
If you are planning to give it as a gift it may also say TESTER all over it.
No, there shouldnt be. Just check on the size of the bottle and that they contain what the seller says they contain
well first of all you get all those germs from testers and the other one is just closed and sealed so you know it is ok to use!!!!
If u are buying a tester, its just that you may not get it in a box or sealed. It may not have the official packaging. Other than that, there is no difference in the perfume, if the source from where u buy is quite authentic. Good luck.
Same stuff inside but the bottle might be shaped differently than the retail bottles.





If you're thinking of getting this as a cheaper gift for your girl than the regular bottle I'd check the bottle to make sure it isn't labeled ';tester'; on it anywhere.
No different except for the fact that people have been allowed to touch, smell, and spray it.
The difference is that the tester doesn't contain as much and the regular is better dah
They are usually bigger. I bought a huge bottle online for half the price of a regular bottle.
I don't think there is a diff. however, the phrase ';unopened tester'; is an oxymoron....because a tester is so you can ';test'; it on yourself to see if you like it......see my point?
dont be a sucker, a tester bottle is just a little bottle to test the perfume. Dont buy it at all costs.
The tester bottle is not different than the regular bottle. The tester is typically what is put out on shelves so people can try the cologne/perfume instead of spraying a new bottle.





The only difference would be that the tester is opened and may be missing some of its contents, meaning it might not be full.
There is no difference between the tester and the regular stuff. Most store just get their testers for free or at a big discount and they come marked as ';tester'; so that they don't sell them and they use them as testers.
A tester bottle is usually one that is open for others to try, like in a department store. Sometimes they're the same size, some times they're smaller. This is opposed to a regular bottle, which should be sealed when you are purchasing it.
Sometimes the design of the tester bottle is slightly different. Besides having 'tester' printed on it, it might be a slightly smaller size, different shape or it might come without a top on it or something.
