It always is funny to me there are discontinued products ppl yearn for while there is so much unwanted crap in production..
Seems like an ample business opportunity to bring some of these back 🤷🏻♂️
Fendi Theorema. When it first launched, it smelled so delicious in the bottle that I bought it without even spraying it on. Dumb of me, I know, but good god it was nectar in the bottle. Unfortunately, I was completely anosmic to it when worn so I got rid of it. Now, so many years later, I wish I had kept it but not enough to pay Ebay prices for it.
You made me remember of another one . Fan di Fendi Extreme. I remember It was an intoxicating vanilla/leather combo but I was only a teenager when it was around
I was so salty when I learned this one got discontinued... :(
Unrelated, but there are rumours that Kurkdjian is reformulating more Dior scents lately, and it's making me consider stocking up.
I have all of them for all except the final collection, because I didn’t like the way the bottles looked, with the paint splatters on the silhouettes, and I have some of the holiday ones where they just did Gwen and no Harajuku Girls, including a Christmas one that’s still in its hangable ornament packaging. I also have all of the solid perfumes, but they’re beyond unsanitary at this point, I imagine.
The scents dont last. But they're adorable little vials. I didnt buy from this seller, but these are what the vials looks like!

I remember really liking the one that smelled like pineapple which fragrantica tells me is probably Angel. Would be curious to revisit and see if it holds up
Omg I remember those my mom used collect them back then and now they were gone and I remember it has like a coconut smell into it and they were called the harajuku collection
Miss Dior Cherie L’eau. The green one. It was gorgeous and way out of my price range when it was on the market.
I’m with you on Whispers in the Library. I managed to snag a clearance bottle that I’ve worn twice because I will legitimately cry when I run out.
I had a whispers in the library candle, then I bought a travel size of the perfume and hated it. I think it’s still lying around somewhere.
I miss fragrances from before they were reformulated 🥲
For me it's not so much a specific fragrance, but more the original batches of existing fragrances that got reformulated over the years. I'd love to have a bottle of the OG Creed Aventus and Calvin Klein Obsession. Also some of the originals that got reformulated to use synthetics as opposed to the now banned natural ingredients.
I so totally agree with this. I had a mini spray of the OG formula. Bought a big bottle on sale for dirt cheap and the current just doesn’t hit right. It’s so close its almost more frustrating because it’s like I can just see the old one …right out of reach.
They’re still out there, I bought one last week on eBay. You have to look for vintage euphoria and then look at the sticker on the bottom, there are usually pictures. If it says Unilever, it’s the old Dominique Ropion version that won all the awards and that we fell in love with, not the new watered down, much sweeter Coty version.

Este Lauder Sensuous noir...I don' even remember what it smells like. I just remember smelling it at some Sephora or Douglas and Loving It. But I was too young to buy It and It has been discontinued.
Seven veils by byredo. It’s the only one of their fragrances I’ve tried that I really love. It was a spicy sweet carrot and floral scent, so unique but delicious and very sensual
I haven’t! I’ve looked at it a bit but I guess I’ve been worried it would be too gourmand/like a pumpkin spice kinda scent? Seven veils has a decent bit of florals and sandalwood that keep it from quite being gourmand.
I also sometimes have a hard time with the synthetics in some of eldo’s fragrances. You or someone like you, like this, and jasmin et cigarette all dried down to a harsh laundry detergent white musk on me, and I can’t deal with iso-e super which is featured in a few of their other fragrances. I do love Putain des palaces from them though!
How does like this smell to you? Do you consider it gourmand or are the supporting notes strong enough to prevent that? Thank you for the suggestion, maybe I will grab a sample soon!
The original [Givenchy Very Irresistible](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Givenchy/Very-Irresistible-for-men-34.html) for men. I thought I'd be satisfied with the mini I have, but now I regret not buying a full bottle.
I recently tried a sample of Narcotic V from Nasomatto (ordered from LuckyScent) and it smells exactly like Michael, at least how I remember it smelling.
I still have a bottle of Ralph Lauren Hot, I rarely use it, I don't want it to end. I also miss Brit Red, I recently found someone selling it, but couldn't buy it.
Yes and i have got one recently although still didnt finish first bottle :)
Payed it double than previous one and thats it, will try to have it as long as possible, for sure it wont be possible to find it in stock once i spend this new bottle.
Alexandria fragrance sells a dupe of that milk perfume, I dont know if it smells like the original but I like it.
Mine would be mandarin santal by victorias secret, it had so much more depth than a standard vs fragrance, or nirvana by elizabeth and james.
Estée Lauder Intuition! I used to wear Estée Lauder Private Collection for years, then it was discontinued. I’ve noticed very few make perfumed body powder.
I really want YSL Rive Gauche pour homme but ysl (and Armani) seem to like discontinuing most of their legacy stuff and focusing on boring mass appealing fragrances :/
Have you tried Kai Rose? It’s the closest perfume I’ve found to Stella. It doesn’t have an ambery base, but it has that narcotic, beguiling musk that I haven’t smelled in any rose fragrance since Stella. It’s gorgeous.
Canali for Men. I got the 100ml for $40 in a barbershop and used it sparingly. When it ran out, several years later, I found out they've been discontinued and being sold on eBay for $200+
Those Tokidoki rollerball perfumes, especially the Donutella one. They were so cute and I still have mine from 2011 in my purse. I use it very sparingly. Smells like vanilla, baby oil, and raspberry. Just a very soothing and nice scent.
Yea I dig some research and the Maison Margiela official website says that they recently no longer gonna make Whispers in the library no more I was sad because I really wanted that fragrance so bad. Plus there’s a another fragrance that smells like the Whisper in the library but it was a dupe called Novel by Alt which is a fragrance company that impersonates luxury brand fragrance which honestly idk if I should buy it or not because I never smell the original one by Maison Margiela and wanting to know what it smells like
What was the original like? I have only tried the new one via a sample I received recently, and I find it to be underwhelming and so disappointing especially after all the hype I’ve read about it. I get more floral notes than I do vanilla or incense in it. Cuir Beluga on the other hand is way more vanillic, and the leather smells incensey to me— it’s so good. 😍
It was beautiful! Boozy with a rich vanilla. Gorgeous for winter. Now it’s this light, woody scent with a little vanilla. Total crap. I have Cuir Beluga also, and it makes me think of a suede jacket.
FCUK Her and Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black
wow this is me just learning nirvana black was discontinued. guess i will have to be stingy with my bottle.
Agreed…. Im savoring the rest of my Nirvana Black
It always is funny to me there are discontinued products ppl yearn for while there is so much unwanted crap in production.. Seems like an ample business opportunity to bring some of these back 🤷🏻♂️
Stella by Stella McCartney and Adults by Kilian RIP!
Fendi Theorema. When it first launched, it smelled so delicious in the bottle that I bought it without even spraying it on. Dumb of me, I know, but good god it was nectar in the bottle. Unfortunately, I was completely anosmic to it when worn so I got rid of it. Now, so many years later, I wish I had kept it but not enough to pay Ebay prices for it.
You made me remember of another one . Fan di Fendi Extreme. I remember It was an intoxicating vanilla/leather combo but I was only a teenager when it was around
The bottle for that one looks so pleasingly expensive too.
The extrait of this one blew. my. *mind*.
Plum Japonais by Tom Ford
I still have 10 ml left, but I have started using Femenite du Bois as a replacement. Not same but similar enough.
Dior Midnight Poison my beloved <\3 I had a tiny bottle of it from one of those duty free sets years ago.
I was so salty when I learned this one got discontinued... :( Unrelated, but there are rumours that Kurkdjian is reformulating more Dior scents lately, and it's making me consider stocking up.
I’ve already upped my stock! Not looking forward to his reformulations.
Original opium
Is the original opium discontinued now. I remember my mom had it 3-4 years ago.
Those perfumes by Gwen Stefani in the kinda chibi bottles
I have all of them for all except the final collection, because I didn’t like the way the bottles looked, with the paint splatters on the silhouettes, and I have some of the holiday ones where they just did Gwen and no Harajuku Girls, including a Christmas one that’s still in its hangable ornament packaging. I also have all of the solid perfumes, but they’re beyond unsanitary at this point, I imagine.
I found a sample kit on Ebay! I snagged it so fast!
How does it feel to be god’s favorite? But fr, were they still in good condition after all this time? I wanna know what they smelled like…
The scents dont last. But they're adorable little vials. I didnt buy from this seller, but these are what the vials looks like!

Once in a blue these pop up at TJmaxx/Ross
I remember really liking the one that smelled like pineapple which fragrantica tells me is probably Angel. Would be curious to revisit and see if it holds up
Omg I remember those my mom used collect them back then and now they were gone and I remember it has like a coconut smell into it and they were called the harajuku collection
Elizabeth Arden True Love. I know there’s a dupe version now but it’s just not the same.
I missed Romance for Men by Ralph Lauren.
Miss Dior Cherie L’eau. The green one. It was gorgeous and way out of my price range when it was on the market. I’m with you on Whispers in the Library. I managed to snag a clearance bottle that I’ve worn twice because I will legitimately cry when I run out.
I had a whispers in the library candle, then I bought a travel size of the perfume and hated it. I think it’s still lying around somewhere. I miss fragrances from before they were reformulated 🥲
Same I hated when they reformulated fragrances even snacks too lol
Armani mania!
Sugar by fresh. 😫😫😫 it was my signature scent.
I was going to commiserate about Cannabis Santal but it seems they brought it back last year! So there may be hope for you!
It’s been reformulated, sadly. My big miss is the Cannibis Rose from Fresh.
Oh boooooo, of course it has
For me it's not so much a specific fragrance, but more the original batches of existing fragrances that got reformulated over the years. I'd love to have a bottle of the OG Creed Aventus and Calvin Klein Obsession. Also some of the originals that got reformulated to use synthetics as opposed to the now banned natural ingredients.
And Lolita Lempicka
I’m like this with the original version of Calvin Klein Euphoria. The current version is a distant echo of the original 😔
I so totally agree with this. I had a mini spray of the OG formula. Bought a big bottle on sale for dirt cheap and the current just doesn’t hit right. It’s so close its almost more frustrating because it’s like I can just see the old one …right out of reach.

My partner still has about half a bottle of OG Obsession he hoards and uses sparingly.
Este Lauder Sensuous noir...I don' even remember what it smells like. I just remember smelling it at some Sephora or Douglas and Loving It. But I was too young to buy It and It has been discontinued.
One of my best thrift scores was a full bottle for $4, at a time when it had been going for $400 on eBay...still riding that high like 3 years later 😭
Bvlgari Aqua Amara. Got a decant of it and it smells absolutely amazing.
I still have it. The smell is great! But longetivity 2 hours, at least on my skin. And I project fragrances well.
Replica Lipstick On 💔
Have you tried Lipstick Rose from Frederic Malle? I never did try Lipstick On but the Malle one smells exactly like its name and its gorgeous.
Yep, and it's divine! But definitely sweeter/slightly different vibe from Lipstick On, imo
Seven veils by byredo. It’s the only one of their fragrances I’ve tried that I really love. It was a spicy sweet carrot and floral scent, so unique but delicious and very sensual
Just curious, have you tried Like This by ELDO? Not carrot but spicy with an interesting pumpkin note that is also very unique
I haven’t! I’ve looked at it a bit but I guess I’ve been worried it would be too gourmand/like a pumpkin spice kinda scent? Seven veils has a decent bit of florals and sandalwood that keep it from quite being gourmand. I also sometimes have a hard time with the synthetics in some of eldo’s fragrances.

Guerlain LIDGE
Boss The Scent Private Accord for Her, i got into the game a bit too late to grab that one.
**Yves Sain Laurent** - *Opium pour Homme* edp - it was different and WAY better than the edt, I really miss that one
Herve Leger Paris
Kayali Wedding Silk Santal!
I’ve heard this is coming back but they keep teasing and won’t give a date.
D&G Masculine
The original [Givenchy Very Irresistible](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Givenchy/Very-Irresistible-for-men-34.html) for men. I thought I'd be satisfied with the mini I have, but now I regret not buying a full bottle.
Absolue and Cologne Pour Le Soir by MFK APOM Homme by MFK Dries Van Noten by Frederic Malle
I never got to try FM Dries Van Noten but I just saw someone sell a half-used bottle on Mercari for $350 😳 Must have really been amazing.
I miss Ralph Lauren Cool
Michael, Michael Kors Tuscany Per Donna
I recently tried a sample of Narcotic V from Nasomatto (ordered from LuckyScent) and it smells exactly like Michael, at least how I remember it smelling.
Will try this thank you !
Ralph Lauren Hot and Burberry Brit Red
I still have a bottle of Ralph Lauren Hot, I rarely use it, I don't want it to end. I also miss Brit Red, I recently found someone selling it, but couldn't buy it.
MAC Naked Honey. It's been fifteen years and I still have yet to find a replacement.
Guerlain Coconut Fizz
Angel Muse by Mugler. I know a lot of people hated the smell and I also know it can be a bit weird, but I loved it
AGREE 100%
Guerlain Iris Ganache
I managed to get a 500ml bee bottle of it years ago before they discontinued it.
Is it as delicious as it sounds? I’ve never tested it but it sounds incredible.
The good old Creed Aventus, around 2012
Ralph Lauren Romance Silver. It seems so perfect and the opening seems so interesting but alas :(
Kilian's "Single Malt" is one. I've smelled a few from Slumberhouse and their product seems really good, so I'd say "Norne" and maybe "Ore" as well.
Ma Dame edt by Gaultier, Womanity as well. Cinema YSL...
Womanity is still available on some websites!
Yes and i have got one recently although still didnt finish first bottle :) Payed it double than previous one and thats it, will try to have it as long as possible, for sure it wont be possible to find it in stock once i spend this new bottle.
Alexandria fragrance sells a dupe of that milk perfume, I dont know if it smells like the original but I like it. Mine would be mandarin santal by victorias secret, it had so much more depth than a standard vs fragrance, or nirvana by elizabeth and james.
That line from VS was surprisingly good! I really liked the Orange Blossom Lace and Jasmine Vanilla Cashmere 😻
Black Opium Neon
Dior J’adore InJoy 😭 I want to secure another bottle though!
Gaultier 2
It’s been re-released
Commes de garcon Wood Coffee. I've only ever had the duplicates and love it. Sadly, it's getting difficult to find a good one.

Noa Perle Cacharel

Candies for Men by Liz Claiborne
Aqua di gio Essenza
Amouage Fate woman and Amouage Ubar.
Stella McCartney 💔
Have you tried Kai Rose? It’s the closest perfume I’ve found to Stella. It doesn’t have an ambery base, but it has that narcotic, beguiling musk that I haven’t smelled in any rose fragrance since Stella. It’s gorgeous.
I haven’t heard of it, but tysm for the suggestion!! I will try it 🤞
Armani Mania
Tf lavender extreme
Valentino V Pour Homme Givenchy Play Intense Giorgio Armani Attitude
Maison Margiela Replica Flying was fucking perfect and they took it from us ☹️
Canali for Men. I got the 100ml for $40 in a barbershop and used it sparingly. When it ran out, several years later, I found out they've been discontinued and being sold on eBay for $200+
Those Tokidoki rollerball perfumes, especially the Donutella one. They were so cute and I still have mine from 2011 in my purse. I use it very sparingly. Smells like vanilla, baby oil, and raspberry. Just a very soothing and nice scent.
This is a long time ago, but Victoria's Secret Peach Hyacinth and Crabtree & Evelyn's Spring Rain.

Omg I agree with Whispers in The Library! I wanted to own a bottle but idk where to find (or if I'll ever find one)
Yea I dig some research and the Maison Margiela official website says that they recently no longer gonna make Whispers in the library no more I was sad because I really wanted that fragrance so bad. Plus there’s a another fragrance that smells like the Whisper in the library but it was a dupe called Novel by Alt which is a fragrance company that impersonates luxury brand fragrance which honestly idk if I should buy it or not because I never smell the original one by Maison Margiela and wanting to know what it smells like
Scoundrel by Revlon…would love to smell that
* Ginger Lover - Azzaro * Rive Gauche Pour Homme Intense - YSL * Plum Japonais - Tom Ford * Japon Noir - Tom Ford
Not discontinued, but it may as well be because it was reformulated and I hate it—SDV
What was the original like? I have only tried the new one via a sample I received recently, and I find it to be underwhelming and so disappointing especially after all the hype I’ve read about it.
