Testers are genuine, authentic, fresh and 100% original. Testers contain the same original fragrance and are used by department stores to help promote a particular fragrance. Testers are made by the manufacturer and sometimes come in a plain box, and sometimes without the fancy cap. Because there is no decorative packaging, we can purchase these items for less and pass the savings on to you. If the UPC codes or any other tracking codes are missing, altered or defaced from any product box or bottle, it was not done by the manufacturer and occurred in the supply chain after it left the manufacturer
