It could be that you haven’t linked your Rewards card to your online account yet. Login to your account and check the Rewards section, linking your card if you haven’t already done so. The offers come directly from your Rewards Club card, so if your Rewards Club card and online account are not linked, you will not receive member offers.

When creating an online account, you are given an option to link your new account with your existing Rewards Club card. You do this by entering the card number when prompted at the time of creating your account.

Quite simply it is the difference in the amount or concentration of the fragrance oils in a perfume. A higher concentration fragrance will last longer, and won't need as much applying.
