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?

Can you still buy Samsara - I used to love it as a great winter smell and bought myself a big bottle when I got divorced in 1990!!

I’m another one still sad that Body Shop don’t do Dewberry anymore…

in recent years, I fell in love with their Fijian Water Lotus, also now discontinued 😏

Miss Dior cherié...they stopped making it, then brought it back, it smells nothing like the original!!! Luckily I've managed to find an almost duplicate at a fraction of the cost, but still....☹️

I used to use India Hicks island living, Crabtree and Evelyn. Also recently Aqua Di Parma Gelsomino Nobile

I used to love Space NK Laughter, it was discontinued a few years ago now 😢

HamstersAreMyLife · 05/09/2023 22:21

Ghost Cherish. I still scour the shelves for it, repeatedly test every other ghost fragrance and frankly wouldn't buy ghost now even if they brought out a new one I like became I'm still livid about the disappearance of this one.

Aveda Amazonia. The only perfume I have ever 100% loved

YSL Baby doll

YSL Baby Doll is my all time favourite, but I'm less panicky about it as I have two brand new bottles stashed in a dark cupboard for when I run out. Thankfully I found out it was being discontinued before it was, unlike the rest.

Gucci Envy. How I loved it.

Alexander McQueen Kingdom

Was this the one in the purple bottle with the indents? I bought two of those coz I loved it so much!

i wonder when ysl Le nuit d’homme changed, I LOVE that smell but haven’t bought any for a while. I try to inflict it on every boyfriend for purely selfish reasons

Thisismynewusername1 · 05/09/2023 22:23

Monsoon Shimo. Loved it.

Nat6999 · 05/09/2023 22:24

Fendi, I miss this fragrance so much, it was my first grown up perfume.

Sometimeswinning · 05/09/2023 22:25

Next ‘So Red’ I think it was called. They kept the vile pink one. Plus Victoria secrets completely did over their fragrances.

@dizzyupthegirl86 the purple bottle was My Queen I have both, My Queen is ok for day time, Kingdom is definitely for the night

My discontinued scent is Orange Blossom by L'Occitane it was subtly orange scented with honey notes. I bought my first bottle on holiday in France when I was in my teens I'm 40 and I still lust after this scent
