I hate it when they discontinue my favourite perfumes

[Usernametaken123]

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?

I think I'm the kiss of death for perfumes, as soon as I find one I like it gets discontinued!

i love the original opium but the new one opium black? is not half as good

remember wearing aqua manda all the time as a teenager it was the skinhead (1971ish) perfume of choice

@Onynx you can still get Sun, Moon and Stars

Not a perfume but a shampoo, the Nicky Clarke shampoo and conditioner in a stainless steel bottle with purple writing late 90s. I loved the smell of that.

Aramis new west for her

I loved the Vidal Sassoon shampoo and conditioner in the brown bottle. smelt amazing. I wish I kept some to use every now and then.
The perfume I love which is now discontinued is Pure by DKNY. Its the vanilla one, but doesn't really smell of it as such. Just a lovely warm fragrance. I have a tiny bit in a bottle and I sniff it every now and then.

Valentino Rock n Rose 💔

Omg yes Bvlgari Blv!

Givenchy III.

I'm sure Eternity has been reformulated, I don't lie it much now and it used to be my everyday perfume since the 1980s!

I loved Serenity by Ghost back in my late teens/ early 20s.

dontbesilly yes with the crown shaped lid
Impulse had a body spray which was similar, apparently Dove pear smells like it so I need to find some.

Nellythepink - just had a total panic about Eau Premiere but it’s still on the Chanel website (I’ve just finished a bottle and adore it...) do you know something I don’t?

YSL Nu.

Perfumes are never the same after being brought back, something’s always changed and not for the better.

Clinique did one called Simply it was devine. I loved it. I have a small amount left that I keep just to smell.

Mon Rouge......the only lipstick by Paloma Picasso.
I loved it sooooo much. 😢😢😢
In fact, I can’t bear to think about it. ( first world problem, I know)

I’ve never forgiven Tom Ford for discontinuing Black Violet. And Penhaligons for stopping Violetta. Lush seem to have ditched Kirbside Violet as well. Bastards - I’m also still annoyed they stopped making Goth Juice hair gel. I loved that stuff

Le Feu d'Issey. It was so unusual and I've never been able to find anything similar.

Oh yes Vidal Sassoon shampoo!! I lives that too!
I'm sad over Alexander McQueen McQueen. It's now a fortune on ebay. I loved a Versace one in my youth. Versus I think it was called

Aqua do Gio
Midnight Poison

I have the PP dupes but not quite the same as my memory of them

I just bought some almond essence and mixed it with my shampoo to recreate it!!

Yep, I'm another one that misses Dolce and Gabbana's Sicily. It reminded me of the glorious, glamorous scents my grandmother used to wear.

Polo Sport (for men hmmmm reminds me of being in my 20s on the pull!)

I also thought they discontinued Polo Sport Women but saw that in Spain last week!

Carthusia al limone. That was lovely.

Perfumes are so evocative arent they... The slightest whiff takes us right back to when we were 16,
Styx and Blase and aqua manda ...

The Perfume Parlour has dupes of quite a few discontinued ones. They do a decent copy of Gloria, for whoever it was that mentioned it. I always liked that one too.

I still mourn the loss of Les Belles de Ricci in the yellow bottle (Delice d'Epices). It was gorgeous and I've never found a dupe or anything even close.
