Re: Cheap Aftershave (perfume)

Can you clarify what the exact difference between a tester bootle and a 'normal' bottle of perfume is, please?

Is it a visible difference or a smell difference?

Thanks

Sorry, cannot answer your question, but this may be a little off topic as well:

I've been looking for Vera Wang fragrance. I know posh department stores do them but it's a pricey brand. I searched the sites Martin suggested but no joy.

Any more tips?

Strawberry.net did not have it either.

Cheers.

On a previous posting on this thread, someone suggested that these fragrance houses only stock items which are 'old' stock. I believe that the Vera Wang fragrance is very new - this might be why you can't find it?

havr you made any advantage points on the boots deals recently? you could use them to pay for the perfume!

https://www.perfumepoint.co.uk also looks very reasonable.

I have used fragrance direct twice now for male and female fragrances - found to be excellent - very quick and efficient. We have always bought testers and they are considerably cheaper - have compared at the airport as well and beats all of thier prices. Will definitely use again.

Try Wilkinsons they have some good deals ;D

I used the fragrance direct site about a year ago and got a great bottle of perfume at a fraction of the retail price. Granted it didn't come in it's proper box but you could always improvise with a gift box instead? Well worth a try

Just in case anyone is interested, the Wilkinsons website is:

They have a limited range in store but the prices are pretty good and they're all boxed and sealed.

Also, http://www.fragranceuk.com/main.htm is worth a look!
