Discontinued fragrances!

Lighthearted, but in the past month I have discovered 2 of my favourite fragrances have been discontinued! One a perfume, one a home fragrance:
Jo Malone Orris & Sandalwood
Kew Gardens Damson & Jasmine
I'm so sad as both fragrances have strong associations for me and smell is my most powerful sense.
Anyone else had any fragrances discontinued they wish weren't?

Top of my list: Peony by Stella McCartney and Summer Moon by Ghost (which was a limited release just for summer 2003, but I didn't know this when I only bought one bottle Angry).

I have about a third of the little square Peony bottle left, and I'm rationing it.

The old lush fragrances before they reformulated them all. Vanilliary 😔

I’ve still not got over Body Shop discontinuing the perfume of my teens, Dewberry.

Lush discontinued Orange Blossom for a few years. It was a favourite of mine and evoked so many memories. They’ve reintroduced it but only in a 100ml bottle at £100 and I can’t bring myself to pay that much for a bottle of perfume.

An old Avon one called Incandescence Lumiere, it was lovely.

This!! I used to love this as a teen!

PandorasBoxers · 05/09/2023 21:55

I remember benefit having one, perhaps orange blossom? When I was younger, it was the scent of my teenage years and I was devastated when they discontinued it

Both take me right back to the 90s and I wish I could still buy them.

Apparently this has been brought back to the shelves very recently, following an online petition started by knee deep in the _ 90s (there's an underscore between each word, but Mumsnet keeps shifting it with autocorrect?)

That one's gorgeous, and I didn't realise it'd been discontinued.

Mine is Guerlain Vetiver Pour Elle. What were they thinking??!!
