Kenzo Takada is a Japanese fashion designer who has spawned the successful Flower range of perfumes. Kenzo moved to Paris in 1964 and began displaying his sketches in the hope of landing design contracts. He started gathering heat in the market in 1970 when his first show took place and his first boutique opened. In 1971 his shows toured New York and Tokyo and Kenzo became a major player in the fashion world.

He first entered the perfume industry in 1998, and launched Flower in 2000, which has since become the flagship fragrance of the brand. Flower is a sensual floral scent with notes of hawthorn and cassis at its top; an emphatic heart of violet, jasmine, and rose; and a base of vanilla and white musk. We have a range of sizes available at Fragrance Mad, including the flabbergasting offer of a 100ml Eau de Parfum for just £39.99. Tell the neighbours.

Winter Flowers is Kenzo’s new take on Flower for the cold months ahead. The scent has top notes of mandarin and violet leaves; rose, camellia, and mimosa at its heart; and base notes of patchouli, amber, and vanilla. Pick up a 50ml EDP for £25.99, that’s half the recommended retail price!

212 VIP is the new scent from Carolina Herrera, the latest in the mega-successful 212 range. 212 VIP has been heavily marketed as an aspirational party-goer’s scent, with slogans such as ‘This is a private party’ and ‘Are you on the list?’ adorning both the bottle and the campaign. As usual with Herrera’s perfumes, the drama and mythology of New York City is at the forefront of both the inspiration for the fragrance and the marketing campaign behind it. It features top notes of rum and passion fruit; a heart of gardenia and musk; and a soft, soothing base of tonka bean and vanilla.

VIP’s bottle ruthlessly mimics the success of Lady Million, perhaps hoping that people will mistakenly spray VIP testers when looking for Lady Mill, and be blown away by its dazzling top notes. As such, it’s sleek and golden, but features a magnet in the cap to keep the lid in place as your bag bashes around in the Big Apple, or perhaps the party streets of Rotherham. 30ml of 212 VIP is now available at Fragrance Mad for £29.99; look out for a range of other sizes coming soon.

Don Ed Hardy is a retired American tattooist, whose intricate designs were seen as the perfect launch pad by French designer Christian Audigier to create a mythology fit for a fragrance line. Audigier’s Ed Hardy-inspired range now boasts a wide variety of scents, encased in eye-popping bottle and box designs.

Love Kills Slowly is a fruity floral fragrance containing top notes of apple, mango, strawberry, and grapefruit; heart notes of freesia, watery muguet, and linden blossom; and base notes of amber, tonka bean, vanilla, and musk. We have the EDP available in 30, 50, and 100ml bottles.

Hearts & Daggers is available for both men and women. The masculine EDT combines top notes of pear, martini, and basil; heart notes of papaya, white pepper, and rosemary; and a base of suede, patchouli, and sandalwood, while the feminine EDP mixes top notes of blood orange, violet leaf, and gala apple; heart notes of mango, apple blossom, and pink jasmine; and base notes of cashmere wood, benzoin, musk, and amber.

For a perfect Christmas gift for the fashion conscious, check out the Ed Hardy make-up box, available in Love Kills Slowly and Geisha Blue varieties. Each set contains a plethora of lip colours, eye shadows, bronzer, and perfume, all in a display box that features a light-up stage mirror.

Singers, actors, tattoo artists; how long before your local butcher has his own perfume line?

Renzo Rosso formed Diesel in Molvena, Italy, in 1978, shortly after graduating from a college of design. In 1985 Rosso was able to finance becoming the sole owner of Diesel by buying out his fellow shareholders, and after this time the company grew exponentially. By 2009, the company was generating three quarters of a billion dollars in revenue per annum, and had a retail presence in over countries worldwide.

In 2003, Diesel teamed up with L’Oreal to bring their unique vision to the fragrance world, and the partnership has since spawned several successful and exciting fragrances, aimed at young men and women. Diesel Fuel for Life was first released in 2007 and has gone on to become Diesel’s flagship and best-performing scent. Fuel for Life is a his n’ hers dual fragrance in Diesel’s inimitable sexy style. The masculine Eau de Toilette features top notes of badian and grapefruit; a heart of lavender and heliotrope; and base notes of frambinone and immortelle. Meanwhile, the feminine Eau de Parfum is based around top notes of cassis and pink pepper; heart notes of jasmine and indole; and a base of patchouli and ambry notes. The 50ml Men’s EDT is available now at Fragrance Mad with a penny change from a £30 note, whereas a 50ml ladies’ EDP will set you back a further pound coin, but is still monumentally bargainous, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Fuel for Life has completed the task of Diesel slotting into the perfume world in exactly the same position as it occupies in fashion-land: as a purveyor of cool and sexy products that give young people exactly what they’re looking for.

Right at the moment we have an amazing price on one of our best-selling cosmetics: YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch 1. Touche Eclat is perfect for concealing signs of fatigue or dark rings around the eyes, and making you look as if you’ve just spent two weeks sleeping, and not as if you were up until 4am listening to the neighbour’s dog barking. Radiant Touch 1 is suitable for fair to olive skin, and is compact enough to fit neatly inside a handbag. Radiant Touch ordinarily retails at £24, but until stock runs out we’ve got it available at the fantastic price of £16.99; it’ll be easy on the eye (yours as well as swooning admirers), and not at all painful on the wallet either.

Valentino Garavani, better known simply as Valentino, is a retired Italian fashion designer who learned the trade at various houses in Paris and Rome, before breaking through as a popular designer after a well-received show in Florence in 1962. He became something of a socialite, designing for many of his celebrity friends, including both Hollywood and European royalty, and frequenting the New York social scene throughout the 1970s.

It was in 1978 that Valentino’s first foray into the perfume world took place with the release of Valentino Classique. A range of scents for men and women followed in the late 90s and 2000s. The most popular here at Fragrance Mad are the ladies’ Eau de Parfum, Rock n’ Dreams, which is a soft yet captivating blend of oriental and woody scents. Top notes of peach and cinnamon blend into a heart of myrrhone, and the perfume finishes with base notes of wood and vanilla, creating a heady concoction perfect for a night out. Pick up a 50ml bottle from us for £27.99, a magnificent 27% off the recommended retail price. Very Valentino for Men, meanwhile, is a sensuous and modern fragrance, with top notes of sage, coriander, nutmeg, and anise; heart notes of thyme, lavender, rosewood, and carnation; and a base of cedarwood, amber, sandal, and musk. A 100ml EDT is available at Fragrance Mad for just £32.99, saving 15% off the retail price.

Man, woman, or beast, Valentino has the perfect scent to mingle with the mulled wine this festive season.
