Discontinued perfumes

My two favourite perfumes have been discontinued and I'm so sad!! Does anyone know ones that would be similar to either of them?

  1. Lancôme Poeme - my favourite of all time, been wearing it since I was a teen 😭
  2. Michael Kors Glam Jasmine

Any advice appreciated!

Tom Ford. Noir. Not the new ones.

It’s not been discontinued, but my purchasing ability has sadly - Chanel 19 EDP.

Currently ekeing out my last small bit so extremely grateful if anyone has any ideas for similarities? (Yardley Jade doesn’t do it for me!) Also, any of the Exclusifs esp. Beige and Boy.

I miss this too, so much!

VW Libertine was lovely.
also Venetia by Laura Biagiotti (I think)

SwedishEdith · 07/03/2025 20:19

Oh, I love Poème and am so pissed off it's discontinued. I have got a big unopened bottle so will have to eke it out. It got no stars from that perfume guru, Luca Turin. What does he know?

I would so love to smell New West by Aramis again. And Byzantium by Chopard 😢

O I don’t but I feel your pain. My two favourite perfumes were discontinued too: Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y and Gucci Envy.
I have found some copies of Gucci Envy but none of LILY. Try Perfume Parlour.

Edited

Oh oh oh what are the dupes of Gucci Envy? I loved that perfume, also Gucci by Gucci, what's wrong with these people discontinuing beautiful scents! Xx

NippyNinjaCrab · 07/03/2025 20:51

Just been on the perfume parlour and ordered small sizes of Gucci by Gucci, Gucci Envy and Elle by Ysl. I shall report back xx

The PP envy dupe is about 95%. It’s a shame cos I originally had the oil and it was spot on. Then they’ve tweaked something and iits not as good . Still pretty good though. The oils last longer and are more try I would say. There are many more dupes around now. Eden perfumes was one.

Argh due to this thread I'm currently debating if I should shell out £150 on Ebay for an original unopened bottle of Sicily Eau de Parfum.

I tried the new Velvet Sicily at the airport duty free last year and it didn't smell as good and is more expensive.

43ontherocksporfavor · 08/03/2025 12:49

So annoying @rookiemere . I used to love Cristalle by Chanel but that changed and is now mega money. I did last shell out for Diorella as it’s just so unique but I’ve been wearing cheaper stuff like M&S and Zara and enjoying buying several.

DH bought me Gucci No 1 before we were married but that was jettisoned years ago. Then the original Bulgari BLV was discontinued. After a lot of sampling I think Bulgari Magnolia will be the top scent for me.

I would like to know this too! I love Chanel 19 and have never come across anything similar.

Middleageddreameresawsss · 08/03/2025 15:44

I think you can still get it in Harrods online

RuthW · 08/03/2025 16:01

I love Opium (hate Black Opium). Even Perfume Parlour no longer has it

I have a Chanel 19 dupe.!! It’s quite good, maybe more powdery. It’s an Irish firm but I think they stopped trading with U.K. after Brexit. May have started up again though.

Just seen it’s on Amazon now.

BobbyBiscuits · 08/03/2025 16:41

Agent provocateur, that was lovely!

I used to love Gucci envy, do they make that still?

My mum wore one called Ma Grife or something similar, in a green and white box.

CK one was a very popular one when I was a teen, is that still around?

Loved Ma Griffe- my DM wore that too. . The box I had forgotten but you’ve just triggered that memory.

MotherOfCatBoy · 08/03/2025 16:49

My DM wore Ma Griffe too! Didn’t the box, or the advertising, have a kind of nail-slash on it? I remember learning it meant “my claws.” Can also mean signature, like leaving a mark on someone.

It was lovely wasn't it! I think it was supposed to a lily based scent? I'm so glad you remembered it as well, and @MotherOfCatBoy too! X

43ontherocksporfavor · 08/03/2025 16:53

It means My Signature. Sorry just read your post .

BobbyBiscuits · 08/03/2025 16:56

@43ontherocksporfavor @MotherOfCatBoy I remember my mum saying it meant 'my claw'! I thought that sounded a bit scary, haha!
'my signature' makes sense actually, like my hand, my claw, my writing etc. thank you! X
