Gucci by Gucci discontinued, would I be able to have it copied?

The title probably doesn't make sense, I love Gucci by Gucci and cannot get it anymore. Does anyone know if I can have a similar perfume made up if someone has the top middle and bottom notes? I don't really know anything about getting a perfume made so I'm hoping my question is sensible 🙏

I don't know I'm afraid but I'm also interested in the answer - trying to recreate a perfume that got discontinued years ago but I have the ingredients list!

Starrynightz · 31/01/2023 11:03

I can't believe it's been discontinued. Gucci by Gucci is my favourite perfume ever. I have one full bottle left, will need to make it last.

Rebel2023 · 31/01/2023 11:07

There's a perfume parlour dupe, might be worth trying a small bottle

Which perfume is it? I'm nosy Grin

@Rebel2023 it's an old Body Shop one - their Ayurveda range, Earth kappha pillow spray. (I know that all sounds ridiculous! But I loved it so much...) The ingredients were lemon bergamot, basil, jasmine, rose, sage, cedarwood and amber.

Me too-I don't have the ingredients list for Valentino Original, but I have a small sample bottle.

I'm gutted it's also my favourite ever perfume. I used to be able to get it when I went on holiday in a perfume shop that sold older classics but not anymore. I might contact Gucci and ask why they stopped it. I'm so jealous you have a bottle 😂

Aw wow thank you so much, I'll definitely try this x

There are some online perfume sellers who stock it, I was tempted to buy it but the reviews were awful, stating they sold fakes etc. 😔

Def try the perfume parlour, I have a few from them and they've all been good
I usually get the tiny size first then buy a big bottle

Thank you for this! I've ordered a bottle of DS1's favourite aftershave which I discovered had been discontinued at Christmas.

ILoveYouMoreTheEnd · 31/01/2023 15:06

@Rebel2023 I'm going to order the wee 13ml one to see what it's like. I've not found a perfume I've loved as much as this. YSL Elle was a favourite but I got so much of it I got fed up of it. I'm wearing one of my DH Tom Ford at the moment. X

@ILoveYouMoreTheEnd same, totally gutted by this sad news. We should start a campaign to bring it back Grin

have you had a look on ebay? Might pop my bottle on for £2k 🤣

🤣🤣🤣 I have but I'm wary in case it's not genuine. I've not looked for a while right enough. I've decided, I'm emailing Gucci haha 😄

Let me know what they say. They might have a secret stash they could sell us 🤞

I will, I'll set a reminder for tomorrow. Bring back our Gucci by Gucci or else! 😆

I've found most Perfume Parlour dupes to be absolutely excellent.

Starrynightz · 31/01/2023 19:50

@ILoveYouMoreTheEnd tell them if they don't bring it back. We will stage a protest 🤣

ILoveYouMoreTheEnd · 31/01/2023 20:47

@Sparkletastic that's really good to know, I'm definitely going to order. @Starrynightz 🤣🤣🤣

I've still not forgiven Gucci for discontinuing Envy. It was my summer staple.

TowerStork · 31/01/2023 21:09

I'm still annoyed that Gucci stopped selling 1995's Accenti even though it was a best seller. It was the first perfume I bought and I loved it. Never tried any of their perfumes since

I was just thinking of this and even a quick google and seeing the picture of the bottle is giving me major nostalgia. I can almost smell it!

Bedlamjulie · 31/01/2023 21:12

I haven't checked on the website but Eden perfumes do great dupes.Vegan & cruelty free too.

earsup · 31/01/2023 21:20

I have found the best places to get discontinued fragrances is Cairo and Saudi arabia airport shops or pharmacies in town over there....my friend travels a lot so is able to get me an Aramis one which now costs over £300 a bottle on ebay etc.

BudgeUpAnn · 31/01/2023 21:31

@alwaystired99 - ah how I miss that bright green bottle. Takes me back to Summer evenings in pub gardens, not a care in the world. I've just ordered a sample of the fragrance match from Perfume Parlour. Fingers crossed.
