Hi guys,

I hope you’ve all been enjoying the unusually warm weather over the last few days thanks to climate change (kindly sponsored by OPEC). Whether (excuse the pun) you’re off on holiday or you’re sticking around for the summer, if you’re going out in the sun you’ll want to make sure you give your skin the protection it needs from UV rays – that’s why for the rest of August we’re selling P20 200ml for just £14.99 with free UK delivery. That’s on both the SPF 20 version and the SPF 10 version, and a saving of 40% off the RRP.

If you’ve never used P20 before, it’s pretty magical stuff. More of an oil than a lotion, once you’ve applied it you shouldn’t need to apply it again for the rest of the day. At SPF 20 or SPF 10, it’s not the most powerful sunblock in the world (if you need a higher factor then Piz Buin SPF 30 is probably more suitable) but it lasts longer than an extended latin mass and, providing you pat yourself dry, you don’t need to re-apply after swimming.

So if you’re in the market for tanning lotion but don’t have the time to keep re-applying every few hours, P20 could be the solution for you. And at £14.99 with free UK delivery, it’s light on the wallet too

Circus is the latest perfume from the best-selling Britney Spears Fantasy range, supposedly inspired by her recent album of the same name. Let us know on our spanking new Facebook page (please like us, please) if there are any classic albums or songs that you’d like to be magically turned into a fragrance; perhaps there’s something pungent lurking in Madonna’s leotard from the Hung Up video just waiting to be wrung into bottles.

Lucky really, that Circus is not inspired by the smell of elephants and clowns, but instead a captivating and mischievous blend of juicy raspberry, apricot blossom, blue peony, lotus, orchid, vanilla, musk, and violet candy. It smells sensational and, even better, we’ve got it in stock now at whip-cracking prices of £17.99 for 30ml, and a staggering £26.99 for the 100ml bottle. Get it while it’s hot, or, preferably, room temperature.

If your hair’s long, short, thick, thin, straight, wavy, curly, blonde, brown, red, natural or coloured, we’ve got all the bases covered with our massively-expanded range of TIGI salon hair products.

Any occasion you might think of is covered with products to cover bad hair days when you just don’t have time to wash and go, gels to thicken, volumise, outrageously style, and even straighten your hair, and a range of shampoos and conditioners for all hair types that nourish and revitalise tired roots. Check out the Tweens range of double packs for maximum value.

So, whatever horrific mishaps Mother Nature has saddled you with, let TIGI and Fragrance Mad solve all your woes!

We’re pleased to announce that FragranceMad.com will be the main sponsor of Worcester Warriors RFC for the 2010/2011 season.

Following on from our sponsorship last year, our branding will be expanded on the club’s shirts and around the stadium itself; if you’ve been there recently no doubt you will have seen some of our fantastic looking signs. All of us at Fragrance Mad are big supporters of the Warriors and we’re looking forward to the next season already. Talking about the sponsorship, Edward Dunn, Managing Director of Fragrance Mad, had the following to say:

“It is vital that local companies show their support to the Warriors, and I am delighted that FragranceMad.com will be club sponsor, increasing the level of our commitment as well as extending our sponsorship for a further three years.

“I am a true Warriors fan and have a total belief in the present and future of the club. I believe Worcester Warriors is one of our county’s greatest assets and am proud to be a part of the club as they continue to grow and develop.”

Kathy Leather, Commercial Director at Warriors, said: “It is fantastic news that FragranceMad.com and Ed Dunn, who has been such a passionate and loyal supporter of the club over the last decade, have committed for a further three years.

“It is great to have a local company at the very forefront of its market with global reach supporting the club because of its passion for the team and our plans for the future.”

Ever heard of Travalo? It’s the revolutionary new refillable travel spray atomiser that’s taking the world by storm!

Long gone are the days of carefully decanting your fragrance into a heavy glass atomiser which can easily break or spill – now you can use Travalo refillable sprays to refill in seconds with no mess and no fuss. What’s more, Travalo packs in as many as 50 sprays each time you refill it but is also small enough to be allowed onto aircraft in your hand luggage! They’re perfect when when you’re on the go, travelling, at the gym, the beach or anywhere!

We’ve got the full range of Travalo products in stock right now at FragranceMad.com – with all four colours; black, gold, pink and silver. Whatever colour you pick, you’ll be happy to know that Travalo is made from aircraft-grade aluminium, making them safe, strong and light. Even better, they don’t contain any glass so there’s no need to worry about dropping it on hard surfaces and having it explode everywhere in an embarassing (although sweet smelling!) nightmare at the airport.

Travalo is also environmentally friendly, with 98% being completely recyclable, so you can be green and smell wonderful wherever you go!

You can see the full range of Travalo products here,  or you can go straight to the black Travalo, the gold Travalo, the pink Travalo or the silver Travalo, and they’re all available at our special price of just £9.79 with free UK delivery!

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!

Happy Christmas to all of our blog readers! Thank you for supporting FragranceMad.com in 2009 – we look forward to seeing even more of you in 2010!
