My all time favourite summer perfume was discontinued,Miss Dior Cherie l'eau.
It really pisses me off when they do that,or reformulate it so it smells nothing like it used to.now its going for crazy prices on the 'Bay.
Also lancome Aqua fusion moisturiser!
What are your favourite discontinued perfumes or beauty products?

For years, I've been under the illusion that Dioressence perfume had been discontinued. It was my favourite perfume for about 15 years, and I was gutted.

Late last year, I spotted it on the Dior counter and have fallen in love with it all over again. The Dior salesperson insisted it was never discontinued, but I suspect she wasn't even born when I first had trouble finding it.

I struggle with a lot of perfumes as they give me headache.

One I adored was Anna Sui Dolly Girl which isn’t available anymore

In the late 80s I used to wear an amazing perfume called Ritz (made by Charles of the Ritz). The company was bought by Revlon and they discontinued it. Was gutted. I can't remember now what it smelled like and I do wonder if I'd like it now.

Also Miss Balmain.

Sun, Moon & Stars, the Original Nina by Nina Ricci, Mania in the grey bottle - and most recently by Yves Rocher Nature perfume. I only discovered it was discontinued when I went to reorder😔
