With so many online commerce platforms available, it can be hard to determine which ones would make for safe and reliable purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraudulent sites do exist and should be avoided. So I\u2019ve compiled a list of my favorite places to buy wholesale perfume testers. <\/strong>Every source has its own list of pros and cons so take this list with a grain of salt. Consider the scents you love and which ones might lead to the best wholesaling option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Best 5 Places to Buy Wholesale Perfume Testers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As previously discussed<\/a>, perfume testers are authentic perfumes that you can purchase at a lower price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online retailers make arrangements with department stores and other suppliers to purchase testers in bulk at a wholesale rate. <\/strong>You can now purchase the same bottles of perfume that retailers buy but at a wholesale price because they then pass those savings on to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legitimate sellers will identify their perfumes as being authentic. Packaging might be sparse, but there won\u2019t be typos or other awkward indications of fake perfume. They should also specify that the perfume is unused. <\/strong>Read more about what to look out for in this post<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where possible, I will share price examples of the same or similar scents for sake of comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Perfume Empire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another online resource for perfume testers is Perfume Empire. They offer high quality, authentic perfumes in all your favorite brand names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Perfume Empire\u2019s Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy<\/a> eau de parfum. Its retail price is close to $100 USD for 3.4 oz (100 mL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its discounted wholesale tester rate on Perfume Empire is close to $45 USD. Because Perfume Empire has a strong relationship with its suppliers, their asking price is an even lower cost than what you\u2019d find on Amazon. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This same perfume on Amazon<\/a> costs over $70 USD – that\u2019s over $25 USD more than the wholesale tester rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burberry perfumes for her sell out fast on the Perfume Empire website. For comparison\u2019s sake, we can take a look at what they do have in stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a Burberry London in stock. This is the one I wrote about here<\/a>, with the plaid fabric wrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Perfume Empire website, a 3.4 oz (100 mL) Burberry London eau de parfum<\/a> is on sale for $35.50 USD. Its posted retail price is $80 USD. On Amazon, this same bottle of perfume<\/a> costs $98 USD. You\u2019d save over $60 USD buying the wholesale tester version of the same exact perfume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfume Empire has an Excellent Trustpilot score. For orders over $69 USD, shipping costs are waived. Their platform is user-friendly and orders are processed in a timely manner. Product is appropriately packaged to avoid breakage. <\/strong>Most buyers are pleased with their customer service as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based in Dallas, Texas, the company has been in existence for 22 years, the last 12 of which they\u2019ve operated online. They purchase perfumes directly from manufacturers and established wholesalers. Because of this, customers rave about Perfume Empire offering some of the lowest luxury perfume prices online.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Awesome Perfumes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An online fragrance seller for 7 years, Awesome Perfumes only sells authentic perfumes and offers discounted prices close to Perfume Empire\u2019s rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was able to find a tester version of Carolina Herrera\u2019s 212 Sexy for Women on this website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its tester price was close to $54 USD. That\u2019s only $10 more than Perfume Empire, which is pretty good, considering. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 3 oz tester bottle of Versace Bright Crystal<\/a> would run you $58 USD on Awesome Perfumes, which is over $20 less than FragranceNet\u2019s non-coupon price.<\/strong> But you wouldn\u2019t need a coupon to pay only $4 more than FragranceNet\u2019s coupon price for this tester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burberry London for women was out of stock, but the price was still available. A 3.3 oz tester spray bottle would cost $34 USD on Awesome Perfumes, which is only a dollar less than Perfume Empire\u2019s low prices.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awesome Perfumes offers free shipping on orders over $59 USD. Your order is shipped within a day or two of purchase. Their website is fast and reliable, and they securely process your orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Beauty Encounter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Popular fragrances sell out fast on this website as well, so I wasn\u2019t able to get a peek at their prices for Carolina Herrera\u2019s 212 Sexy for Women<\/a> or Burberry London for Her. But I was able to find Versace\u2019s Bright Crystal 3 oz eau de toilette tester bottle. Their asking price is $58 USD, which is $4 USD more than FragranceNet\u2019s coupon price, but it\u2019s $25 USD less than their non-coupon tester price. It\u2019s the same asking price as Awesome Perfumes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t find a tester version of Burberry London for Women in stock, nor was there a Burberry Weekend for Men as a tester. But a newly packaged Burberry Weekend for Men only cost $29 USD for a 3.3 oz eau de toilette, which is only $5 more than the tester version for sale on the Perfume Empire website. So that\u2019s something to consider.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beauty Encounter guarantees that their fragrances are authentic. They offer free shipping for orders totalling $60 USD or higher and orders are sent out a day or two after they receive payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has been around for over 20 years<\/strong>. While they offer coupons and promotions, you don\u2019t have to sign up for them in order to make purchases at their lowest prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. FragranceX<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This company is a reliable online perfume discounter that I\u2019ve written extensively about in this post<\/a>. They sell perfumes in their original packaging, as well as testers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online since 2001, FragranceX offers consistently great customer service and fast shipping. You won\u2019t have problems navigating their website, either. They offer pretty low prices that are on par with Amazon\u2019s fragrance sellers. Below are some comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolina Herrera\u2019s 212 Sexy for Women is available in a 3.4 oz (100 mL) eau de parfum spray as a tester<\/a> as well. Their price, with a coupon, is close to $63 USD.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this price is about $5 USD lower than what you\u2019d find on Amazon, you\u2019d have to sign up to their newsletter to access the coupon code for this rate. For perspective, this same scent on FragranceX, fully packaged and prepared for retail, costs $69 USD with a coupon. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tester version of Burberry London for her wasn\u2019t available for comparison. A different Burberry tester<\/a> I\u2019ll reference is Burberry Weekend for Men. It\u2019s an eau de toilette, 3.4 oz (100 mL), and the prices are somewhat similar between FragranceX and Perfume Empire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter offers this tester scent for $23 USD. Its retail price is $65. A FragranceX tester of the same scent is $20 USD with a coupon. This same bottle cost $84 USD on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly, you won\u2019t find the savings on FragranceX that you would through Perfume Empire, but their testers are unused and authentic.<\/strong> If you\u2019re unable to find your favorite scent on a site like Perfume Empire, then FragranceX is still a reliable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. FragranceNet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another company written about in a past post<\/a>, FragranceNet has been an online fragrance source for 25 years. You can either activate a coupon for discounted products or free shipping. Otherwise, shipping is free with a minimum amount of fragrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But FragranceNet shipping is notoriously slower, so don\u2019t order from this company if you need for your order to arrive within a short time frame.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They offer more fragrance options than FragranceX, though, and their website is also easy to navigate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither tester versions of Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy nor Burberry London for Her were available. I was able to find Burberry Weekend for Men and can use that as a comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bottle of this eau de toilette, (3.4 oz \/ 100 mL) tester would cost $40 USD, which is twice as much as FragranceX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 3 oz eau de toilette of Versace Bright Crystal tester<\/a> costs $83 USD, or $54 USD with a coupon. The going retail price for this fragrance is $95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same tester found on the Perfume Empire empire website would cost you $40 USD – less than half of FragranceNet\u2019s asking price without a coupon. And it\u2019s even $14 USD less than their rate when you do have a coupon. But another benefit to Perfume Empire is that you don\u2019t need to activate coupons for the best rates on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher costs and slower shipping doesn\u2019t make FragranceNet an attractive option for wholesale tester perfume.<\/strong> But they are a reliable company with a fairly broad selection of regular-sized perfume testers, so they earn a spot on this list as a last resort option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Choose the Best Place to Buy Wholesale Perfume Testers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After checking for authenticity, one of the primary ways that customers decide which platform to buy their favorite fragrances is according to price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole point in buying wholesale perfume testers is to get your favorite scent at the lowest price possible<\/strong>. So if the price is too close to what you\u2019d be asked to pay in a retail setting, it\u2019s hard to justify making that purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond price, here are some additional points to consider when buying wholesale perfume testers online:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
