Just that really. It is a perfume that is just me and they've flipping well discontinued it. Does anyone know of anything similar?

Have they? Oh bum....

Will follow the thread as I love this perfume too, and took ages hunting for just the right one :(

Trucking along- I did buy it - it's disgusting

Oh, that's a shame. I just got some perfumes from there and they're pretty good dupes of the originals.

Dalek - my friend has suggested I try out some Angela Flanders scents. I particularly like the look of the wood range on her website. They have a lot of the notes I like most.
Will have to see though. There was something about the BCV that I liked above all the many testers I tried when hunting out a new perfume.

For me I really only like to have one signature scent. I moved on from my previous because as i aged/post natally it just didn't smell the same any more.
A bit gutted that I have to go through it all again. I don't really find this kind of shopping pleasureable....

Have you tried contacting Jo Malone? I was chatting to one of the sales assistants once about them discontinuing my wedding perfume and she gave me a number to call to see whether they could track down any more bottles. I have no idea what the number is now- lost somewhere in one of my handbags but if you ask at one of the stores I'm sure they will know it.

Wingsclipped - I have emailed them to ask if they could bring it back. They gave me the number you mention but there is no stock left anywhere.

Queenrollo - it's different but I quite like this as well

but very pricey

They have suggested I pop to a boutique for a complimentary hand and arm massage and to try some other scents.

I live at least 2 hours from a boutique....so i'll not be doing that.

Oh me too, I loved this and was gutted they discontinued it;have found nothing quite like it but currently trying loads of samples from 4160 Tuesday's and have found a few scents that I really like, that I am hoping one might be the one.
