Discontinued Perfumes And Some Suggested Alternatives

Don't you hate it when you can no longer find your favourite perfume in the shops or even online? Whilst this is understandable for limited edition releases (Escada is a good example of this) it's frustrating when designers discontinue seemingly popular fragrances. When this happens there's not much you can do other than to try and find something similar, ideally from the same fragrance family*.

The following page lists some of the more popular discontinued or hard to find limited edition fragrances together with a few alternatives for you to consider. This is by no means a comprehensive list (there are just so many discontinued fragrances) but rather a list of the fragrances we most often receive enquiries about. If you have an enquiry about a fragrance that's not listed here please contact us and we'll do our best to try and help you find an alternative.
