Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is nearly here once again. Personally I’m not much of a fan, so I take my wife out for dinner a week before or after the actual day, which is cheaper and less lovey-dovey-roses etc. However, I still think it’s good fun to buy a present for someone as long as it’s not over the top. For example, we’ve got Britney Spears Fantasy 100ml for just £19.99 with free UK delivery. If you want to get a Valentine’s Day present, why not shop online with Fragrance Mad and save money as well as get the goods delivered straight to your door – or even your workplace?

As many of you will be aware, VAT in the UK went up from 15% to 17.5% on 1st January 2010, which means higher prices for consumers. At Fragrance Mad however, we’ve decided to hold our prices and absorb the VAT increase ourselves, so our prices won’t be rising due to the higher level of VAT: good news for consumers all around!

Last month saw the release of British supermodel Kate Moss’s latest fragrance Vintage. The bottle is styled in the same way as perfume bottles from the 1920s and 1930s, to give it a truly ‘Vintage’ appeal. Talking about the inspiration behind the latest perfume in her fragrance line, Kate said:

“I am fascinated by vintage pieces because they not only have a remarkable beauty but also an innate sense of history – I love the fact that each object has its own story to tell. And yet vintage items can be reinvented with a modern twist to make them very fresh and relevant today. That’s why vintage looks have inspired my personal style, my work as a fashion designer and, now, my fragrance.”

You can see the Vintage range here; including a fantastic new gift set for only £14.99!
