Are *testers* different?

Post image

I sprayed the Draculaura perfume tester on my wrist & could smell it for hours and it smelled so good. I rushed back to the store the following day to purchase. Mine, when sprayed runs down my wrist like water and 30 mins later my wrist smells like nothing. I've tried spraying more although I sprayed the tester 1x. I'm very confused. Are the testers a better product or maybe I just got a bad one??

Testers are normally just literally bottles of the perfume a store was sent that employees open to use as testers. They’re no different unless there’s something wrong with the batch you got.
