MAC MV3 (the black one). It was a bit like Bulgari Black but warmer. Crossed with Byredo 1996 maybe. MAC are horrors for stirring up fake rarities so I bet they discontined it so they can relaunch it with great fanfare one day. They'd better do anyway

ohshitwhathaveidonetoday · 25/03/2017 22:05

I've got the perfume parlour dupe of New West, it is nothing like the original Sad I think Aramis should bring this back as sooooo many people lust over it!

CointreauVersial · 25/03/2017 22:13

Gucci Envy!

Luckily, DH works for them, and managed to track down a couple of bottles, which I'm using veerrry slowly.

Another is YSL In Love Again, which I mourned after it was discontinued, but a few years ago they brought it back.

Sorry OP. Can't suggest anything to help. It's infuriating. I'd love to get my hands on the original Miss Dior. The Ines sold now are all modern day "takes" and smell awful on me.

CauliflowerSqueeze · 25/03/2017 22:47

Anouchka by Revillon.

WanderingNotLost · 25/03/2017 23:09

I still miss Valentino V and Ted Baker Woman. Loved them.

ZootSuit · 25/03/2017 23:39

MyQueen by Alexander McQueen. Broke my last bottle by taking it on holiday 😢

AND my local Savers shop used to sell it for a silly price, under £20. Why oh why did i not buy up all their stock!

MusicToMyEars800 · 25/03/2017 23:42

have you tried amazon? I got a discontinued perfume on there, it was rock n rose by valentino. but one perfume I can't find is called mickey light blue the bottle lid was like a mickey mouse head but light blue. I will try and find a pic and see if anyone knows it!

MusicToMyEars800 · 25/03/2017 23:45

I miss Stella in two by Stella McCartney Sad

RJnomore1 · 25/03/2017 23:52

Sicily for me too. It was lovely.

😟

I love rocknrose too - I bought a 100ml bottle when I found out was going to be discontinued and I'm too scared to use it!

I loved Pure Poison Elixir.

Such a shame when they're discontinued as I associate smells with memories.

Lucked · 25/03/2017 23:58

Mine is Sicily by D&G too. Love, love, love it. Still have some which I am almost scared to use. I did buy a dupe from the perfume parlour and compared it to the original, it is very similar but not perfect.

2nd would be Bulgari BVL original for woman, think it would cost me over £200 to get that now.

And Gucci Envy can't figure why that was discontinued. It's a classic.

MusicToMyEars800 · 26/03/2017 00:00

sonyaya I had no idea they were going to discontinue it Sad I had a bottle it ran out went to get a ew one and poof it was gone nowhere to be found... I was gutted, if I knew I would of bought most of the stock Grin so now I have to hut the internet for it.

MusicToMyEars800 · 26/03/2017 00:01

I liked Gucci envy too, I'm sure I saw it in Debenhams a couple of weeks ago....

CointreauVersial · 26/03/2017 00:05

There's one called Gucci Envy Me - not the same at all.

LegArmpits · 26/03/2017 00:07

Oh God Ultima II is my favourite ever. I've still got dregs of a bottle.
It's EVER so similar to Fahrenheit though...

Mouthfulofquiz · 26/03/2017 00:24

I loved Libertine by Vivienne Westwood. Beautiful scent.

VintagePerfumista · 26/03/2017 09:33

Miss Dior Originale is almost the same as vintage Miss Dior. You might find you have to insist with the Dior salesperson that no, you don't want any of the 300 flankers with their fancy ribbons and their daft pink fluffy names (and smells) but you want the "original"

Lots of fairly cheap Miss Dior on the bay of E. What is great about the old Diors is that you get those dinky 10ml bottles.

There's a Sicily on ebay (Spain) starting at 1 euro at auction. Probably won't reach the dizzy bidding heights of the 100 or so euro that the BINs are asking.

Someone upthread mentioned Eau de Gucci- if you mean the original (mid 1980s blue and red Gucci logo canister container) there are a couple on ebay, not badly priced. I got one last year for £25 and it's full.

VintagePerfumista · 26/03/2017 09:34

There are some Ultima IIs on ebay as well. Cheapest full bottle about £23.

TealStar · 26/03/2017 09:39

Oh I used to love New West! What a shame it's been discontinued. It reminds me of a time when I was 15 and into the Pretty Woman soundtrack. It always makes 'King of Wishful Thinking' go round my head when I see or think of it (probably because KOWT was by Go West Smile)

sandgrown · 26/03/2017 09:43

Azuree by Estee Lauder . It was "my" fragrance in the
1970s

hollyisalovelyname · 26/03/2017 09:55

Olaf
I used to wear that Ultima ll scent.
A really 'clean' smell.
I'd love if Coty would bring back Wild Musk.

Deathraystare · 26/03/2017 10:17

Gucci Envy!

Oh yes. Managed to get some from Beauty base (I don't work there!!) amongst all the 'sleb scent' that seems to have overtaken the store, I found this.
