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?

New West is mine too..annoyingly, they still make the aftershave. I read recently that Crabtree & Evelyn's "la Source' is similar ...but of course that's discontinued now too...sigh typical

@selfishjeans perfume parlour do a lot of dupes and they used to do New West and it was pretty good.
They've typically stopped doing it but I email them frequently and ask them to bring it back. Not that I love new West or anything.

I'm on a wait list maybe worth a shot

For those missing Paco Robanne XS I can confirm that Elizabeth Arden Beauty is almost an exact match. Thank you whoever recommended it you've made my year

Ginseng by Jovan...the nearest to it is Opium.

That was me! It's close enough, isn't it?
