What is a tester?

It is likely to happens that while shopping at arcades or malls, you received a perfume tester as a complimentary gift. As you can recognize by testers name, these sample fragrances created by perfume and cologne company and brands to promote their products. By offering these samples, potential customers try to explore different scents and ultimately encourage buyers to purchase products from them.

What is mini perfume?

Small perfumes usually do not differ in terms of smell and quality from the original perfume; they are only sold in small packages. In this way, without carrying 100 or 200 ml boxes of perfume in their bag, buyers can be fragrant and tidy in various situations such as travel, university, school, or work. Of course, buying small perfumes has many benefits, which we will discuss below.

Tester vs. Mini Perfumes: Exploring the Differences and Similarities

As we mentioned before, testers and small perfumes have some similarities and differences. In this part, we will discuss the distinctions between small perfumes and testers.

Fragrance Differences

Testers, original and small-sized perfumes share the same scent. When you compare a tester to a small, original perfume, you'll notice that their fragrances are indistinguishable. However, the smell of a tester may fade quicker than an original perfume. Also, testers could be affected by differences in their chemical formulas or the fact that testers are often exposed to air in retail environments.

Packaging

When you want to purchase perfume, packaging is an essential factor to consider. Typically, original and full-sized perfumes (ranging from 100 to 200 ml) come in elegant packaging. Perfume manufacturers have taken note of this aspect for small-sized perfumes. As a result, small perfumes now boast beautiful and sophisticated packaging, offering customers the same allure as their larger counterparts. In contrast, testers are presented in plain, simple packaging and available at shops and retail stores.

size

Testers are marketed in large and small sizes and are available to dealers. But the perfumes that are sold in small sizes are available to the buyer in beautiful and stylish boxes in sizes of 5, 10 and 15 ml.

price

Testers are usually provided to buyers without paying any amount in arcades and shopping centers so that they can easily check the scent of the perfume and thus prepare the perfume they need. Sometimes expensive perfume testers are available for sale at cheap prices in shops. Of course, not all stores sell testers at an affordable price. Small perfumes have a reasonable price compared to original and large perfumes. In this way, people who want to buy expensive perfumes or don't have a large budget to purchase perfumes can buy perfume they wish by paying a small amount.

Function

If we want to mention the efficiency and uses of mini perfumes and testers, these two are completely different. Testers are placed in shops and arcades with the aim of persuading the buyer to buy perfumes and they are a test sample of great and original perfumes. At the same time, small perfumes for sale in the shop are sold in high quality, with good fragrances and in beautiful packaging. In addition, small perfumes are suitable for transportation in different environments and conditions, such as work environments or travel. In fact, the main reason for making small perfumes was to create conditions for easier use of perfumes.

Accessability

As we mentioned before, testers are usually placed in shopping malls for the purpose of testing the scent and smelling of perfumes. The probability of being able to buy the testers is very low. However, small perfumes can be found and purchased in reputable perfume stores with high quality and reasonable prices. In addition, small perfumes are available for purchase in online stores such as https://www.riah.ae/en, and they come in various scents (sweet, spicy, cold, and warm).

Purpose

Small perfumes are an ideal choice for gifts in various celebrations such as New Year or as a birthday gift. In addition, people who are interested in the world of perfumes and smells can buy various perfumes in small sizes for themselves and use them. Meanwhile, testers are offered to customers as a free trial sample that is only suitable for one-time use in a short time.

Performance

Both small perfumes and testers are designed to enhance customer convenience and comfort when using fragrances. For this reason, these perfumes are suitable for one-time use or scent testing of various perfume models.

Collectibility

One of the goals of producing small perfumes in limited quantities in beautiful boxes with a unique and special design is the possibility of collecting different types of perfumes. People who are interested in the world of scents and fragrances have a great desire to buy small samples of perfumes so that they can complete their collection. Of course, this does not apply to testers. For this reason, if you are one of the collectors, it is recommended that you visit our small perfume samples at www.riah.ae and buy the samples you want.

Sustainability

Buying perfumes in small sizes and using them instead of big perfumes is a waste of time and energy to produce a lot of perfumes. Therefore, if you pay attention to preserving your environment, small perfumes are definitely the product you need.
