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

Fragrance Mad now has the very best razor blades in the world, Gillette Mach 3, in stock at the most eye-popping prices on the web: 8 blades for just £10.99, including delivery! Mach 3 were a huge innovation in shaving technology when they were first released in 1998. The Mach 3 blade spent more than ten years and $750 million in research and development but revolutionised home shaving with its patented three blade technology. Since then, Gillette have released many new razors, including the recent Fusion model which features five blades, but the original Mach 3 remains a firm favourite with customers, and sales of Mach 3 blades make up 50% of the company’s total blade sales. In fact, the Gillette Venus range for women is completely modelled on the Mach 3, just with its name changed to be a bit more girly, and with the razor pink instead of black!

Although Gillette try to convince customers that each razor they release is vastly superior to the one that preceded it (to the point where they’ve had to fend off lawsuits disputing this), the difference actually appears to be so infinitesimal that customers barely notice, and it looks as if the Mach 3 will be massively popular for years to come. Shaving can be an expensive business (that’s why I rarely bother!), and Gillette blades now hold the honour of being the UK’s most shoplifted product as high street shops keep them at exorbitant prices, so save yourself a packet and shop online with Fragrance Mad instead!

Despite the fact that it clearly isn’t, the calendar at Fragrance Mad Enterprises seems to be of the opinion that it’s Summer.

The perfect summer scent boasts fresh floral and citrusy notes, and is light and airy to compliment the freshness of the air.

Keep your eyes peeled on the New Products page at Fragrance Mad, because at the moment we have great new fragrances coming in nearly every day. We’ve also got a great range of Summer special offers, featuring both great scents and superior sun protection, including a wide range of Piz Buin tanning products at 3 for £20.

Over the last couple of years, Prada have released a series of Prada Infusion Special Edition scents, following the popularity of the original Infusion d’Iris. We now have a great selection of these limited edition fragrances available at Fragrance Mad.

All three are available in 50 and 100ml bottles now, and prices start at just £25.99, so come on down to Fragrance Mad now for a slice of high-end posh perfumery.

While stocks last, everything in our Clynol Haircare range is now 3 for 2 at Fragrance Mad.

There are currently over forty products to choose from, with everything from shampoos, conditioners, and repair serums to get your hair as healthy as it can possibly be, to a huge range of styling mousses (meece?), sprays, and gels to make your hair look as funky as humanly possible.

Aren’t we good to you here at Fragrance Mad? Right now we have the best price available for as far as the eyes can see on the popular perfume from Vivienne Westwood, Boudoir. For a limited time only a 50ml bottle is available from us for just £29.99, a staggering £20 off RRP!

Vivienne Westwood was on the punk scene from the very beginning, running the shop Sex with Malcolm McLaren and envisioning many of the styles that would become punk hallmarks, such as the use of safety pins in clothing. As the punk movement quietened in the early eighties with the arrival of revolutionary musical acts such as Spandau Ballet, Westwood’s career went from strength to strength and she became one of the UK’s premier fashion designers. She launched her first perfume, Boudoir, in 1998. The fragrance was designed in the style of classic perfumes from years gone by, and to feature glorious head-turning notes. Boudoir is a strong, lingering, intoxicating scent comprised of sensual top notes of vibernum, bergamot, and mandarin; sweet heart accords of English red rose, tobacco flowers, and heliotrope; and a base of patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, and cinnamon. It’s a gorgeous scent, and at these prices you’d be mad not to indulge!

Estee Lauder was born in 1906 in Queens, New York, and was raised there by her Eastern European immigrant parents. Lauder was interested in beauty from a young age, and had this passion encouraged by her uncle, a chemist who was interested in cosmetics. Lauder began her company in 1946 selling a small range of products to hotels and boutiques, and soon gained such notoriety that she persuaded department store bosses to give her a concession in Saks’ on Fifth Avenue. From here her business grew exponentially, and Lauder was always on hand to provide the personal touch to potential clients. She worked hard to make her brand synonomous with elegance and wealth, courting celebrities such as Princess Grace of Monaco, and repeatedly sending them samples to encourage them to use Estee Lauder products for their makeup regimes. Lauder died at the tender age of 97 in 2004, leaving behind a multi-billion dollar company that employs 31,000 people worldwide.

Estee Lauder first entered the perfume market in 1953 with Youth Dew, a bath oil that doubled as a perfume scent, which later became the Eau de Parfum spray that it is today. Youth Dew was an instant success, and by 1984 had sold a hundred and fifty million units. Lauder has since expanded its fragrance portfolio to make it one of the most impressive in the industry, featuring such popular scents as Spellbound, Pleasures, Beautiful, Knowing, and White Linen. No matter what style of scent you enjoy, there’ll be something in the Estee Lauder range to delight you.

Those helpful hounds at TIGI have decided to discontinue a large part of their range, so you may not be able to find your old favourite for much longer on Fragrance Mad. But don’t panic! They’ve replaced all of the old models with shiny new ones, and they’re all available now at Fragrance Mad (plus, we’ve managed to secure a limited amount of end-of-line stock to keep you going with your old products). Deep breath: the Styleshots range is now for shaping and styling, the Colour Combat range gives you fantastic colour protection as you clean, and the brand new Rockaholic selection includes everything you need to rejuvenate tired hair. The Catwalk family has also been split into three distinct sections: Curlesque for curls and waves, Sleek Mystique for straight styles, and Your Highness for volume. So if you used to be a Superstar, try Epic Volume; and if being a Control Freak was your thing, head for Extreme Straight. Dumb Blondes and Brunette Goddesses can find what they need in the Colour Combat range. And anything else in between has a substitute. Check out the full selection to find the perfect new treatment to get your hair looking salon-ready.

Worcester Warriors will be strutting their stuff in the Rugby Union Premiership from next season, after a hard-fought 20-15 win over Cornish Pirates on Wednesday saw them seal a return to the top flight after just a year in the lower division. Just as Fragrance Mad does to its woeful competitors, Worcester destroyed all-comers this year, going through the regular season with 21 wins from 22 games, and winning all nine of their playoff matches. The team reportedly took their inspiration from the Fragrance Mad logo emblazoned on their sleeves, and tearfully dedicated their promotion to our range of fantastic fragrances at spectacular prices.

Next year will see the Warriors taking on big teams such as Bath and Leicester, as well as playing the big boys in Europe, so here’s hoping the Fragrance Mad stand at their Sixways Stadium (see below) will inspire them to further glories.
