Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003004089A1] A perfume tester comprises a test strip made of an absorbent material that is wetted with perfume. An end area of the test strip (3) is fixed inside a pouch (1) made of plastic films (1.1, 1.2). Above this end area, the pouch (1) comprises a specified rupture line (6), which extends over the width of the pouch and which tears along the longitudinal axis of the test strip (3) when the ends (4.5) of the pouch (1) are subjected to tensile stress thereby exposing a significant portion of the test strip (3). The inventive perfume tester can be easily produced and is well-suited for all channels of distribution. The impregnated test strip is protected against direct finger contact thereby enabling several successive smelling tests to be carried out without the test strip becoming adulterated.
