Discontinued fragrances!

[lalawalkonby]

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?

Gucci Eau De Parfam 2.
Gutted 😢

Givenchy Hot

Or Hot Couture- absolutely gorgeous

I loved Venezia by Laura Biagiotti. Gorgeous perfume in a bottle with a golden (?) turret.

Narcisse (?) was also lovely sweet fragrance that wasn’t what I would usually wear, but it had such a beautiful and distinctive smell. I bought a vintage bottle a couple of years ago and it brought back so many memories.

Vanilla and Anise by Jo Malone

My favourite was Lacoste Inspiration. I've still got a little left in my bottle but don't want to use it up. I like to just have a sniff in the bottle every now and then.

I used to love body shop fragrances in my teenage years, in fact, I think all girls at school wore them, that was all you could smell.
I make wax melts and a few years ago my fragrance oil supplier started releasing dupes of the old body shop scents, so I jumped right in and ordered them. I've got white musk, fuzzy peach, and dewberry (plus a few others). I made myself a fabric spray in dewberry, sprayed it all over my clothes and was taken back to my teenage years, but it's not one I could wear all the time now I'm older, lol.

Verbenas of Provence, the first Jo Malone I had, when Jo Malone was run by Jo Malone.

Jo Malone Nutmeg and Ginger. I loved it most as a bath oil. When I found out it was discontinued, DH managed to track down 2 bottles of the bath oil through a contact at John Lewis. 🥰

Jo Malone Bronzewood and Leather. I've still got a bottle and a half left though.

But most of all, I miss Jo Malone Incense and Embers candle. It was just fantastic. Nothing else comes anywhere near it.

Marc Jacobs Essence in the square yellow bottle. Happily I discovered by complete chance that Gucci Bloom Profumo do Fiori is very similar!

l’eau d’Eden is another - my first ‘proper’ perfume as a teen, but Floris fleur is just like it. Discovered this thanks to Fragrantica 😀

Which one is the Gucci by Gucci dupe?

Gap used to do a perfume called Grass. Loved it.

Max Factor Geminesse

Everything I like, usually.
Armani white
Dkny be delicious red apple

Waiting for Euphoria to go next.

All about Eve by joop

Armani Sensi, loved it

Still in mourning because Dior never repeated their limited edition Lily of the Valley.

Manifesto by Isabella Rossellini.

Byzance by Rochas. I know they have resurrected it relatively recently but it is NOTHING like the original 1980s version. 🤮

Diorissimo is a beautiful lily of the valley perfume that is still made.

Escada Rockin' Rio - wore it on my wedding day so has good memories for me. I miss it!

Jo Malone, French Limes :-( It's the only perfume I've ever really liked. I was quite crushed to hear that they've done away with it :-(

Escada-Cherry in the air

one of their summer releases back in 2013 still have an unopened bottle I’m saving for something (not sure what)😂

@anxiousannie63 are you me lol. Two of my favourites

What a derailing waste of space

@FluffMagnet I've searched the world over (or feels like it lol) for d&g light blue dreaming of portfino. Such a scent

Back to fragrance, why do the perfume houses get rid of clearly popular scents?
