Testers are original perfumes that are often offered in an outer carton without a label or cellophane. Their purpose is to present the scent to customers and offer them the possibility to smell fragrances before they buy. Each tester contains 100% original perfume liquid, which is identical in composition to the officially packaged perfume. The only difference is that it comes with a box that says ‘tester’, or a 'not for sale' label. In most cases, it doesn’t come with a lid/cap. This explains why the tester versions are generally 20-50% lower than the perfumes in the original packaging.
The scent is completely incomprehensible to me, there is no hint of watermelon or coconut, it's just a faint sweet watery nothingness. It's sweet for summer and subtle for winter. However, if we're talking about perfumes, then Hermes is definitely superior.
Coconut cookie. I can taste the vanilla and coconut. It's a sweet treat, perfect for indulging in. I can't imagine a man enjoying it, it's definitely a 100% women's delight.
And for me, coconut is the clear winner. It has a gentle and creamy flavor. It lasts for more than 4 hours.
I initially expected the main note to be coconut, but it is actually in the background. The dominant notes in this fragrance are vetiver and cedar, with the femininity and charm being added by the watermelon and anise. Throughout the entire time, the coconut notes occasionally appear, making the scent wonderful and luxurious. It lasts on my skin for 6-8 hours.
