We’ve all been on one. It’s the first-date and so often they’re disastrous, miserable affairs, aren’t they? They’re so much to consider: a new outfit, getting the hair done, where to go, who pays, how to escape via the toilet window if he/she turns out to be a boring dud, etc.

But what all this merely proves is that dating is fraught on so many levels. Firstly, it can be darn expensive trying to impress a person you barely know, with a high possibility you’ll end up despising. And two, get one thing wrong – choose the wrong restaurant, make an inappropriate joke about a monkey – and a first-date can fast come crashing down like a roller-skating toddler juggling fluorescent light-tubes.

And this is where today’s Cudo can save the day. It’s fragrance, perfumes, aftershaves and scented elixirs from the wonderful folk at The Perfume Connection. “And how on earth will this help me secure the man/woman of my dreams?” we hear you ask. Well, for starters, you won’t smell; which, in the dating game ranks alongside having all your own teeth and being goiter-free in the positive stakes.

Two, today’s offer gets you $60 of anything in any of The Perfume Connection’s 68 stores Australia-wide and you pay the all-the-more miserly sum of just $25! Result? You’ll smell terrific and you’ll have all this money left over to get your hair done, buy that new shirt or have some dentistry performed on your missing teeth. Because today’s tremendous Cudo from The Perfume Connection is ultimately all about love.

And what’s not to love? Simply hit the ‘buy now’ button and pay just $25. On receipt of your Cudo voucher stroll straight into any one of The Perfume Connections stores throughout Australia (check locations tab for your nearest). And here’s the clincher – with said voucher, which only costs $25, in return it gets you $60 of anything in any of their stores. Choose from men’s fragrances, women’s perfumes, youth brands, gift sets, miniatures, all manner of sweetly scented niceties. So dab on some Vera Wang, splash on some Beckham or douse yourself with the alluring scents of a Gianni Versace.

To see The Perfume Connection’s exhaustive range check out their website, but please note today’s offer's for in-store purchases only. Even better, there’s absolutely no limit to how many Cudos you can buy!

And yes, the dating game can be a cruel one indeed. What with having to feign interest in boring conversations, hear about your potential partner’s previous dating disasters or jump two-stories out a bathroom window to escape. But at least with today’s fabulous Cudo from The Perfume Connection no one need smell. And that can only make the world a better place, can’t it?
