Unlike the cheap fakes a. In average they are being offered at RM each, but the price for this could certainly go lower if seller are willing the cut down his big profit. Interestingly, the seller even invited us to be their agent and tell us how easy it is to sell these testers. Original seller will never be able to offer perfumes at a fixed price especially at the rate of RM each. The packaging is really good, some are literally printed pixel perfect.
We are unable to tell the difference when compared side by side with an original tester perfume box. The only reason for this not being a perfect score is due to the lack of batch code number at the bottom of the box. Usually our review start from the cap to bottom but in this case our fake tester perfume comes without a cap, so we start from nozzle instead. Onto the wordings, the font on the fake is clearly thicker. Also, the text seems to be a low quality printing job.
Overall the surface of the fake bottle is really rough when compared to the original tester perfume. This is easily seen on the highlighted area and other images in this post.
The details on the original tester perfume is 3D which can be easily seen from the image above and if you were to touch it, you can easily feel each and every texture of it exactly like how a dumbbell should be, whereas the texture on the fake tester perfume is only slightly visible by eye. Not only it is not 3D, the entire surface is very smooth to touch. Just to be fair, we swapped the position of both perfumes to show the surface is not affected by any lighting issue.
Both bottom piece uses different kind of materials. From this point of view, we can clearly see the quality difference of both materials. Also, the batch code number on the original tester perfume matches the code underneath the box.
We are finally here on the main point, the perfume itself. Most experienced consumer do not take the risk on using fake perfumes as it is well known that fake perfumes not only could cause skin rashes. If the perfume itself were to land directly on your eyes, it might even cause you blindness due to the chemical substance methanol in these fake perfumes.
Also, prolonged usage of these fake perfumes could increase the chances on heart cancer. This is because original perfumes manufacturer requires licensing on all the perfume ingredients and they are all tested to be safe and allergy-free before its being distributed whereas fake perfumes manufacturer do not require nor take such procedure since it would cost a huge amount for the procedure and they would never pass the licensing anyway.
This concluded why most experienced consumer do not take the risk on using a fake one simply because risking our own health to save up some money is simply not worth it. Source: Metro Newspaper. Therefore, we can conclude that casual consumer will not be able to tell the difference when smelling this fake tester perfume but could surely tell the difference if compare side by side.
So onto fake tester perfume longevity, we tested this on a normal cotton clothes and on two person skin but the result could be vary depending on many factors which we have explained here on our faq.

X is completely unnoticeable at this point. X is too soft at this point, however unlike on Human 1 we can still smell it when we stick our nose close enough. X is not quite noticeable but we can still smell it with our nose close enough to it.
Human 1 4 not quite noticeable 5 unnoticeable O is really soft, not quite noticeable and only able to smell it out when our nose is close enough to it. Surprisingly, O performs better than we originally thought since 24 hours itself is already an impressive performance, and we are seeing a 48 hours mark!

You do the math. See how identical they are? Can you find out the flaw? However this time, we will only discuss those that are not mentioned earlier. As highlighted, the fake one had a failed ring positioning and ran outside of the bottom, easily seen as a rough job. We can easily feel the ring by sliding our fingers underneath the bottle from point A to point B.
Take note however, this only applies to those perfume with glass bottom and supposed smooth endings. Batch code on the fakes are printed directly on the box. However someone genius on the fake manufacturer decided to print this along with the title and all. Also, our research found that, 4 out of 5 that sell fake testers 1 vendor does not have this in-stock actually try to sell us the same Issey Miyake Pour Homme with the same batch code to us!

It may be labeled "tester" by the manufacturer, might be in a bigger bottle, and could be partially used - so it's usually cheaper. KMF Well-known member. Aug 25, There is no difference in the juice between a tester bottle and a real bottle.
The reason why tester bottles are cheaper is because tester bottles usually come without a cap.
