Sofea Perfume: What is a Tester?

A tester is a version of a fragrance that comes without the fancy,

retail packaging. Tester versions come in the same bottle as the

retail version and include the same amount and quality of fragrance.

The testers you see on our website are direct from the manufacturer

and have never been used. If you'd like to save money on a fragrance

for yourself, consider purchasing the tester version of your brand.

Please be aware that not all brands have testers available.

What to Expect

In most cases, a tester fragrance will come in a plain white or cardboard box. However, some designers will reduce production costs by distributing their

tester products unboxed and without caps. By cap we mean the decorative top,

the spray nozzle comes with all spray fragrances (e.g. aftershave or splash fragrances don't come with sprayers). So, there are four ways that a tester

can be packaged and sold:

1. Boxed with a cap

2. Boxed without a cap

3. Unboxed with a cap

4. Unboxed without a cap

FAQ about Perfume:

Is the product's selling price fixed?
No, our selling price is NOT fixed as it is updated and changed on daily basis. This is because the cost price of every items change on daily basis being affected by many factors, (the scarcity of a product, holidays and celebrations, seasons, demand and supply chains)On the other hand, market price is also NOT 100% accurate as the market and retail price of perfume products also changes occasionally, affected mostly by holiday and celebration seasons.

What are tester perfumes?
TESTERS are manufactured by the original designer of the fragrances for promotional purposes. Contents of all TESTERS are exactly the same as the contents of the normal retail version and come in exactly the same bottle as the retail version. TESTERS come in plain brown or white packaging and the spray bottles may not come with a cap or lid.

Do you have a tester for each item you have?
Not all. There are certain brands with testers. Feel free to inquire or email us about it.

Why do some fragrances seem to last much longer than others?
People with dry skin usually find their fragrance holding time shorter than those with oily skin because oily skin has more natural moisture to hold in the fragrance.
PH levels (amount of acidity in our skin) also varies slightly from person to person. Our individual levels of PH will determine how each ingredient in a fragrance will react.

Finally, your nose can develop scent fatigue with certain scent notes if it smells them repeatedly, the scent receptors can become overloaded and you just don't register this scent after a while. So you may think that your perfume has disappeared but it may in fact still be smellable by others.

Are your items authentic?
Yes they are. All items are guaranteed 100% authentic.

NOTE: We do not respond to questions about authenticity of our items or any other inquiry that is already stated in the item description. Please read the item description in full before asking any questions.
