Fragrances aren't always discontinued because of sales. Most of the time it's due to reformulations because of lack of ingredients, and if they cant get it to smell the same or even close to it they discontinue the whole fragrance together
Midnight Poison has the most amazing drydown! The first half hour is not my fave but it develops so beautifully, I can see why people call it a masterpiece. It’s the scent of a femme fatal, a black rose. One of the reasons Midnight poison was discontinued is bc it was made with real flowers, amber and patchouli so it was harder to reformulate it like Dior did their others. According to a rep at Dior the reformulated version would have smelled too different. Midnight poison was a passion project for the perfumer and insisted on using real extracts in some of the main notes. I found a new bottle in my sisters perfume collection! She didn’t know what a gem she had and gave it to me! 😆🥰
Midnight Poison literally hurts my soul! If I knew for SURE that the bottle was authentic (and therein lies the problem...), there is no telling how much I’d pay. One of my favorites of all time, no question. Also, the ORIGINAL Miss Dior Cherie from like 2006 or 2007. 💜💜
I couldent agree with You more😭😭😭 Midnight Poison was one true big love affair for me, i keep searching and searching but they All are just a bandage on the wound💔💔💔
Unfortunately as Roja Dove said in one of his interviews, "fragrances are discontinued for one reason only; they don't sell" No matter how good or unique the scent is, if a fragrance is not bringing in profit it's gonna disappear. Brilliant video!
To this day, Midnight Poison is the best perfume I have ever smelt. I cannot wrap my head around why it was discontinued in the first place. It is a fantastic scent that lasts ages and I have never met anyone who wasn´t instantly smitten by it whenever I put it on. I can still hunt down a bottle when I really need to, but it always costs an arm and a leg and I literally wear it only a few times a year to save the bottle for as long as possible. Dior really needs to bring this one back, they haven´t made anything even close to Midnight Poison in ages.
They definitely need to bring back Dolce and Gabbana By for women, it's the leopard print bottle if anyone remembes it, it was launched in 1999, absolutely amazing, you will never find anything like it 😊
By DG was my signature scent. I still have a 30ml bottle but i don't spay it on my body cause i don't wonna finish it . I have many perfumes but i would give them all just to have this one back.
I am so glad that you mentioned Tonka Wood by Zara, it's one of the most amazing perfumes I ever used; every time I wore it I had lots of compliments. Another great perfume (and very special and different) was Armani Sensi; it was such a sexy, amazingly beautiful and elegant perfume that I have never understood why it's gone. Many thanks for speaking about those discontinued gems!❤❤
My favorite discontinued perfumes that I wish they'd bring back are: 1)Victoria's Secret Rapture (have it. Has been a favorite of mine for years and have been nagging them to bring it back already!) 2)Mary Kay Journey (have it) 3)Dior Tendre Poison (had it, miss it TERRIBLY) 4)Ralph Lauren Glamorous (had it, miss it, however Hello Beautiful by Bath and Body Works smells pretty similar to it) 5)Benetton Tribu (had it, miss it) 6)Queen by Queen Latifa (have it) 7)Escada Sunset Heat (have just a little bit left and am holding onto it for dear life until I can find a good dupe of it) 8)Victoria's Secret Angels Only (my SOTD. They do sometimes bring it back during semi-annual sales) 9) Bath and Body Works Sunset by the Pool body spray (have it. One of my favorite summer sprays. 10) Victoria's Secret Secret Crush body spray (have a vintage one I've been holding onto for dear life. They are bad about discontinuing great fragrances, too) Those are my top 10.
Cartier really needs to bring back Baiser Vole Essence, it’s the creamiest most beautiful white lily ever. Also the bad reformulations I consider discontinued. I’m talking to u Valentino Donna, replaced the leather note with peach 🍑 🙄
My biggest heartbreak is Lolita Lempicka the very first original 💔 I know that they recently released new one, named “original” but it’s not available in Czech Republic yet, and I still have a feeling that it’s not going to be the same at all...
Gucci Envy was one of my favorite scents..The last time I purchased it was in a Gucci store in Las Vegas in probably the early 2000s. I was so upset when they discontinued
So I've heard that one of the main reasons why certain scents are discontinued is because the perfume doesn't allow for a steep profit for the company (probably because it uses more expensive ingredients) and since they can't suddenly start charging double for it, they decide that discontinue it is a better business approach. If you think about it, they are in it for the money, they don't really care about consumers. That is also why some not so popular and cheaply made perfumes practically never get discontinued.
Omg I just did that for a partial of Marc Jacobs dot! I don’t even get excited about Marc Jacobs but a good friend’s husband was looking to surprise her with a full bottle (she’s taking her pharm boards this week) and asked for my help. That frag is a blink away from disappearing completely-I had to have one! Great video! 💐❤️
Givenchy's Dhalia noir, Dhalia Noir and Dhalia Noir. I bet they discontinued it because the name seems to glorify crime against women, not because of sales, or ingredients or anything else. It was the most beautiful powdery, rose, mimosa concoction, but it wasn't too sweet at all. It was truly fantastic, unique and by faaaaaar my most complimented fragrance.
My favourite discontinued perfumes are Scarlett by cacharel, Mon jasmine noir by bulgari, ma dame by JPG and Armani mania. I don’t own mania anymore the other ones I still have and treasure them.
Fragrancerevival.com has some remakes of dc’d fragrances. They have a guarantee that if you don’t like it, you keep it and they refund your money. That kind of guarantee is really unheard of. The only thing...they don’t have the Gucci II for women in stock but they tell me that it’s coming. I wonder if any of the ones you mentioned, they might have. I might go look again 🤣 Great video as always girl!!
Bvlgari Au Thé Rouge I believe is still available in the Middle East and Europe, so there's hope to smell that one. It was my signature scent for years, it's gorgeous, although on me it had zero longevity. It was worth it though! 💗
Gucci pour homme and Gucci pour homme 2 are two of the greatest designer fragrances ever released. Gucci pour homme in my eyes is a masterpiece. So well made. Nice video.
Bring me back: 1. Cacharel Gloria 2. Givenchy Organza Indecence 3. Burberry Brit Gold Lovely vid that we can all relate to. Please also do a video on fragrances that need to go back to their OG formulas. 💖
When I was young my aunt gave me midnight poison cuz she didn’t liked it. I loved it, specially its smell the next day. I used to wear it to my school, never realised it was a masterpiece. It’s been 8 years since I smelled it, but still I remember it clearly.
They brought it back during their semi-annual sale but in a different bottle and at a great price! Better grab it up soon before they run out. www.victoriassecret.com/us/beauty/beauty-catalog/victoria-s-secret-basic-instinct-eau-de-parfum-1117500200?choice=1264&genericId=11175002&limit=180&productId=9b91718c-4afc-49f1-8d22-1d66bf56f0c2&searchBrand=beauty&searchedFor=basic%20instinct
I totally agree with you about dupes. I will not pay a premium price for sub-par performance, especially when there is a dupe that performs as well or better. I have no problem paying the top end of my budget for a beautiful fragrance with wonderful performance.
La Feu d'Yssey Miyake, GorgioArmani Sensi, Givenchy d'Amarige Extravagance, Donna Karan Black Cashmere and DK Chaos, IDOLE d'Armani, Bring Them Black!!!
OMG I guess we all hate it when the Cosmetic Industry discontinues our faves...same happens with that favorite lip color or nail polish....it sucks really....from all the perfume I have and have had...the one I miss the most is Miss Dior Cherrie really.....I still have like a bottle with like 15 ml back, and I´m like GOLLUM from the Lord of the Rings with it " OHH MY PRECIOUS" hahahaha keep it in a dark room under 7 keys hahaha...(as if a thief is going to come and steal it hahaha LOL).... But I do have to add ,that I HATE the REFORMULATIONS also.....with all that " New Restrictions on formulations, forbidding the use of certain animalic scents and what not" they have " toned down" some of the Monster Bombs of the 80-90´s...Lou Lou Cacharel, Carolina Herrera OG even Calvin Klein´s Eternity sucks...it´s the shadow of what it was back in the day, that fumigated everything on it´s way standing when you walked by.....Not even mention the change from Thierry Mugler to plain old Mugler....I am still trying to hunt down the OG TM that are still out there!
🤣 I feel you on the Miss Dior Chérie!! And I agree that all those restrictions are ruining the art of perfumery, now they are all chemicals like ambroxan, molecule 01, isoE and barely last a good 5 hours. I miss the fragrances from before 2015 where a couple sprays of them in the morning would have me smelling beautiful all day long. They would stick to the pillowcases, clothes, etc for days!
the good thing fragrance community is that no one criticise other one and everyone respect each other opinion and so much love and bonding in this community . respect 🎩
@@TheScented Hi, new subscriber here! Been watching your videos lately and really enjoy them plus I think we have similar taste as I too love Pure Poison. Speaking of Omnia, I really love the original but not too sure about the flankers. Bought the Indian Garnet but don't like how it evolves on my skin. Would love it if you could make a video rating all the Omnia range like you did with Mon Guerlain. Saludos
I have a bal d’afrique hair mist and I love it. What is good alternative too White soho by Zara similar to Bal d’afrique. And this one has not been discontinued yet (just bought it last week).
Sometimes it's better to discontinue someting than to reformulate it and make a mess out of it, like they did so many times and continue to do so. I would rather have no Midnight Poison at all than to have it and hate it like I hate reformulated Armani Code, CK Contradiction, Burberry London, Body Kouros etc.
I just got on line here in Mexico, bvlgari omnia green jade. I hope is not a fake. I wrote to the seller that if is nor original, do cancel the sell. Is a blind buy, I trust your taste. On ebay is around 150 dollars, and the one I found here in Mexico is 50.00 dollars. I think is a good collectable piece or can also be a spacial gift. Good day and thanks for your great reviews.
For Bal D’Afrique you could just buy a 12ml oil from either Arabian Perfume Oil or Universal and make a 50ml spray by mixing it with 38ml of Perfumers Alcohol or just plain 95% Everclear. Let it rest two weeks and that’s it. It’ll last and project amazingly, trust me :) This is what I did with my Jo Malone oils and the perfumes last almost the whole day and project really well. I wouldn’t suggest doing this with Oil Perfumery oils as they’re more diluted and better suited as oils.
I totally agree with you and Bal D’Afrique , i loooove it but it doesn’t last on my skin , just one hour and gone. I wanted to buy it but I can’t!!!!!! But I love it, so so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I bought ZARA A PERFUME and it’s not even close to it , i hate It on my skin. So , I will ALWAYS dream about Bal D’ Afrique ❤️.
Yes I agree, doesn't do it for me and I don't catch the similarity to Bal D'afrique. Thankfully the Zara Tonka wood is right on, so at leat I have that going for me 😂
Its sad they always stop make fragrances People love 🙁 i wish they did start make Dior cherie again and many more. i have started to buy backups of my favorit parfumes now, bc im afraid they Will stop make them aswell.
@@carolinaochoa7900 fragrances last up to 35 years if you keep them in a dark and cold place, I overspray a lot so im not worried about that they will turn bad 😊
I’m afraid to love something too much. If I do it’s surely gonna be discontinued. I was crazy about YSL Elle. I searched all over, buying suggested dupes that never came close. I finally found something really close. Joop Wow! Intense It’s not exact but the closest I’ve found. Bring back YSL Elle! Midnight Poison! I’ve even contacted the companies to express my feelings.
😯😯 I just bought "Elle" the other Day?? Its not hard to find it here in Europe.. I live in Denmark and easy for me to find the originally Even.. Thats strange🤔 i wish i could help You!!!
I'm with you on dupes for expensive fragrances that don't last. There are quite a few Byredo's that I'm a fan of, but none of them last beyond three hours on me. Ridiculous.
Bring back: 1. Maroc by Ultime II 2.Avon Inspire 3.Escada Magnetism for Men 4.Dior Midnight Poison 5. Gucci Pour Homme II for men 6. Miracle Homme for Men 7. Max Mara 8. And also bring back all perfumes and colognes that were reformulated and watered down yet still repackaged as if it was the original!!!! Also agree and love your view on dupes by the way! & yes WHY WHY WHY was Gucci Pour Homme II discontinued is beyond me!!
My heart is still broken over Chloe Love and that I never had a chance to actually purchase it :( I found a pretty good dupe with Jil Sander Simply Poudree, very affordable as well. There's actually a Brazilian clone house (Nuancie) that makes a Love clone, but it doesn't seem like they ship internationally 🙈
Did they discontinued valentino donna edp as well? I heard they did, and because of that, I had to blind bought it to myself 😅 the bottle is so beautiful! And I'm glad I love the scent as well!👍
I have several bottles of Gucci Envy. I snatched them up online about 7 years ago. It was my favorite. Ironically, the two Gucci Envy flankers are still out there. Issey Miyake has A Scent that is discontinued but you can still buy it. It smells like a Japanese rain forest but the dry down is a bit like Gucci Envy.
I do remember paying nearly $200 for a 3.4 oz bottle. Now someone is trying to charge $699 for a bottle which is not worth it. All the unopened bottles are still quite old and sometimes I wonder how fresh they are. I wouldn’t feel comfortable placing a price on a bottle for that reason. I need to spray it on my clothes to get any longevity as it doesn’t last on my skin. Perhaps we can share perfume collections and organize a trade of an 8ml/10ml of something.
It was at least a few years ago when I first smelled Bal D’Afrique. I got a sample at a Byredo counter in Nordstrom’s. It was my favorite. I went through the sample and kept thinking about it for another year when I smelled it again. And then I learned about Alexandria and saw they had a dupe for it. Got a sample set including Africano but the dupe just didn’t give me the same feeling. It replaced part of the marigold with citrus and wasn’t as warm and sunny. I only wore a couple mL before deciding to get Bal D’Afrique during a $50 off $200 sale (US). Still personally one of my most expensive bottles per mL but I love it. It lasts 8h on me and I smell it around me with about 2 sprays. 3 gives me a headache and I learned this after wanting to bathe in it multiple times lol. Good for me though as it’s so pricy and it forces me to savor it. Note, the sale was at Neimans. Saks does similar sales sometimes including fragrance. I just got the 50ml since I feel it has potential to turn.
It sucks when fragances you like are discontinued,but if I can find a good dupe oil I'm good,it's like you said beggers can't be choosers lol 🤣 so I take what u can get.l wish I could find one for Tonka woods and truth or dare. That black square bottle was sooo sexy 😉 tfs!stay safe and well 🙏🏼
I really loved Pure Poison Elixir with the old fashioned atomiser, I bought 3 bottles of it when I heard it was discontinued. I also liked Givenchy Eau Torride. I managed to find Truth or Dare so I've just ordered it, it's a blind buy so I'm super excited to finally try it
I wanted to shed a tear when you mentioned Gucci Envy. That was my holy grail and scent of my early 20’s and I have forever been hunting for something similar to replace it. It was a HUGE compliment getter. I found Bobbi Brown Almost Bare to be the closest thing, unfortunately, that has also been discontinued ☹️.
Lady Gaga fame was one of the best selling perfumes of all time and it was discontinued. It is my favorite for when i want to feel confident, sexy and powerful. Its not a super high end perfume but it is very unique i think
Gucci II for women, Tribecca by Paul Sebastian(for nostalgia sake!!) Victoria's Secret Mood Sweet Craving, Rose Caramel, The whole Breathe Romance line from Bath and Bodyworks(SOOO GOOD), Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrete. Miss Dior Cherie original version.. all so good, I miss wearing and enjoying them
I am so late to the fragrance experience...so I do try to buy reasonable priced discontinued fragrances just for the experience! I love vintage fragrances too🙋🏿♀️ They seem less hurried and had more intent in them. As always I enjoyed the video🌻 Thank you 🍃
I also think the Madonna fragrance is more wearable than Fracas. I didn’t know they had discontinued it. Why do they always do that to the good ones!?😫 Miss Dior Chérie is another one I wish they brought back!
There are some fragrances nowadays that have a tinge of some of the classics, but it's like the freaking zombie apocalypse. Throw a sh** load of sugar and cashambroxamideakigalamberwood-SUPER on it and call it a day. 😂 Plus people have such congested bodies these days that they become allergic to everything. New regs come out and suddenly another compound gets banned. Bye-bye beautiful complex perfume, hello Sauvage. Jokes on them though. People are probably allergic to it already. 🤣 AaCHOOO! 🤧
Congrats on 7k!! Also love this video. I didn't know until last year that perfume are being discontinued because I never had to rebuy something and couldn't find. So now I'm so paranoid that will discontinue my fav fragrance, which they always do 😣. So I'm buying back ups now lol. I never did that before Btw I saw Gucci envy on fragrancenet
I bought gucci pour homme II last year and its one of my favorite frags of all time. It's sexy af and woman love it. They always discontinue the best ones
You can get Bal d’Afrique for as low as $110 for 3.4 oz on Ebay. And I just don’t know many discontinued fragrances, but honestly Chanel #5 is not what it used to be. That was my signature and I loved every stage of it, especially the deep drydown.. alas. I recently ordered a brand new EDP from Chanel- no way it was a fake. I do have a vintage 1960’s parfum and a vintage Eau de Cologne but I wanted a sprayer. Anyway, there is something unpleasant to it now😥.
oh, last time you were cheap, now you are greedy? LOL. I guess we have the same roots. This was excellent video by the way and the topic I could talk about for days. My latest complaint about discontinued is Cartier Must II (not Must) but Must II. I made a blind buy just last week and actually found a dupe for it. Quelque Fleurs by Houbigant is such a great match and my best discovery. I am so happy. Fragrancebuy, add it to your basket, Yana while they have it, especially if you like green florals. By the way this is perfume Princess Diana was wearing for her wedding. I am not surprised, what a classy and regal fragrance.
It hurts my soul to hear about Gucci II for men cause I never smelled it and I feel like I’ll love it... and yet here I am to get my heart broken again
The Scented Well, seems like it only took me one more week to find it! Just got mine in the mail today and definitely love at first spray! I’ll have to do a review on it soon.
Great video👍🏼 - I would love to know if you’ve tried the Oil Perfumery version of Chloe Love & Midnight Poison & how they compare to the original? They have some really great oils & I know you’ve used them too. 😁
They always discontinue the good ones ,so many I love have been discontinued :( And the re sale prices some people charging, it'd be easier to rob myself 😂
OMG. Yes for Chloe Love. I am so sad they discontinued it. But I read in Fragrantica that Phyllis from Pull & Bear smells like it. So I bought it (it has a new packaging - clear bottle with a mint green label). And I can say they indeed smell almost identical. However, Chloe Love lasts longer. But, Phyllis is so cheap I don't mind reapplying. I believe that Phyllis came first before Chloe Love, so I think Chloe copied them, which maybe the reason it is discontinued. EDIT: I was wrong, Chloe Love came out first before Phyllis.
I was SOOO LUCKY to find a Lady who just sold me her Midnight poison perfum and its Even in the box!!!!! I cant get down from the sky..feel like i won the lotteri.. I looved the scene back then and I never thought i should own it again but I did..im so happy😊😍😊😍💙💙💙💙
Hi Yana! I enjoy your content, and your style. Thank you for sharing these. Question for you: how close would you compare Oil Perfumery’s Midnight Poison dupe to the original?
The Scented thank you for getting back to me. I researched the Pure Royal one, but they have numbers.. can you disclose the one that would be the MP dupe?... As a side comment/opinion, you are beautiful, and I love your bubbly yet sassy personality.
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne is a pretty grapefruit/almond/neroli, springtime scent that I'm SO glad i have. Also, I wish I could get Santal 33, but Zara S4ND4LWOOD is such a yummy leather/sandalwood. Another fragrance I wish was still around is Armani Acqua di Gio Essenza.
Came hoping you mentioned Gucci Envy, but the men's one, it's so bizarre they discontinued it, it's so amazing. Sitting on an old bottle myself and I can't believe how much they're going for now. Smells like sexy woodsy candle wax to me, so hot.
Hi. I discovered a very very similar perfume to Dior tender poison recently. It’s called pascal Morabito Perle Verte and it’s so affordable. It’s less than £15 for 100ml and lasting power is decent. You should definitely try it if u can get it
They discontinue the unique ones because they don't do great on sales. And they keep the boring sweet ones. Midnight poison was soo good.
I loved Tendre Poison. I wish they would bring those back. I got to have all of the Poisons in my collection!
Search eBay for Midnight Poison fragrance oil. I got a one ounce glass rollerball and it smells spot on. $12.
I have two bottle of midnight's poison .lol
Fragrances aren't always discontinued because of sales. Most of the time it's due to reformulations because of lack of ingredients, and if they cant get it to smell the same or even close to it they discontinue the whole fragrance together

Love Midnight Poison. I got YSL Elle and like it, but MP is prettier.
Armani discontinuin "Sensi" is a crying shame, crime of the century
Midnight Poison is the love of my life! I hope Dior brings it back at least in 2027 for 20th anniversary. I'll wait.
Me too... 🤞🤞🤞💙🖤💙🖤
I miss Jaipur by Boucheron.😪 it's hard to find. YSL In Love again was discontinued and released.
Great video! I miss Armani Mania. Wish they'd bring that back, because I'm not paying $200+ for it on Ebay. LOL!
Yes, the prices for discontinued fragrances on eBay are out of this world! 🤯
And I agree with you on Gucci Envy!! Even compared to the perfumes of the 90's, it stood out. I would love to smell it again!!

Bring me back:
1. Cacharel Gloria
2. Givenchy Organza Indecence
3. Burberry Brit Gold
Lovely vid that we can all relate to. Please also do a video on fragrances that need to go back to their OG formulas. 💖
Samsara is one of them!
When I was young my aunt gave me midnight poison cuz she didn’t liked it. I loved it, specially its smell the next day.
I used to wear it to my school, never realised it was a masterpiece. It’s been 8 years since I smelled it, but still I remember it clearly.
I wish Victoria’s secret bring back Basic Instinct. It was the by far the best perfume they had. I hope someone remember that
They brought it back during their semi-annual sale but in a different bottle and at a great price! Better grab it up soon before they run out.

PS..they need to bring back RAPTURE!!!
I totally agree with you about dupes. I will not pay a premium price for sub-par performance, especially when there is a dupe that performs as well or better. I have no problem paying the top end of my budget for a beautiful fragrance with wonderful performance.
La Feu d'Yssey Miyake, GorgioArmani Sensi, Givenchy d'Amarige Extravagance, Donna Karan Black Cashmere and DK Chaos, IDOLE d'Armani, Bring Them Black!!!
OMG I guess we all hate it when the Cosmetic Industry discontinues our faves...same happens with that favorite lip color or nail polish....it sucks really....from all the perfume I have and have had...the one I miss the most is Miss Dior Cherrie really.....I still have like a bottle with like 15 ml back, and I´m like GOLLUM from the Lord of the Rings with it " OHH MY PRECIOUS" hahahaha keep it in a dark room under 7 keys hahaha...(as if a thief is going to come and steal it hahaha LOL)....
But I do have to add ,that I HATE the REFORMULATIONS also.....with all that " New Restrictions on formulations, forbidding the use of certain animalic scents and what not" they have " toned down" some of the Monster Bombs of the 80-90´s...Lou Lou Cacharel, Carolina Herrera OG even Calvin Klein´s Eternity sucks...it´s the shadow of what it was back in the day, that fumigated everything on it´s way standing when you walked by.....Not even mention the change from Thierry Mugler to plain old Mugler....I am still trying to hunt down the OG TM that are still out there!
🤣
I feel you on the Miss Dior Chérie!! And I agree that all those restrictions are ruining the art of perfumery, now they are all chemicals like ambroxan, molecule 01, isoE and barely last a good 5 hours. I miss the fragrances from before 2015 where a couple sprays of them in the morning would have me smelling beautiful all day long. They would stick to the pillowcases, clothes, etc for days!
Lol. I'm like my precious with Tendre Poison
No, no, no! Not Loulou!
Miss Dior Cherie is discontinued. It was my first big girl perfume. I’m heartbroken 😞.
the good thing fragrance community is that no one criticise other one and everyone respect each other opinion and so much love and bonding in this community .
respect 🎩
Bvlgari 'Omnia' (the original one);
Paco Rabanne 'Ultrared' 😭
I heard they brought the original Omnia back 😊
@@TheScented great news! Thank you x
Try Fragrancenet and fragrancex. I believe they have the original Omnia. I'm wanting to try that one. I love the Indian Garnet.
@@TheScented Hi, new subscriber here! Been watching your videos lately and really enjoy them plus I think we have similar taste as I too love Pure Poison. Speaking of Omnia, I really love the original but not too sure about the flankers. Bought the Indian Garnet but don't like how it evolves on my skin. Would love it if you could make a video rating all the Omnia range like you did with Mon Guerlain. Saludos
You can find both on FragranceX though, discounted even.
I don’t know if bal’dfrique has a hair mist but do consider that as a dupe I have great experiences with byredo hair mists!
I have a bal d’afrique hair mist and I love it. What is good alternative too White soho by Zara similar to Bal d’afrique. And this one has not been discontinued yet (just bought it last week).
Jade was my Summer signature. I was so sad when my bottle was over.
Cacharel Gloria is my only regret so far. I search for remnants of it in every red perfume.
Sometimes it's better to discontinue someting than to reformulate it and make a mess out of it, like they did so many times and continue to do so. I would rather have no Midnight Poison at all than to have it and hate it like I hate reformulated Armani Code, CK Contradiction, Burberry London, Body Kouros etc.
I just got on line here in Mexico, bvlgari omnia green jade. I hope is not a fake. I wrote to the seller that if is nor original, do cancel the sell. Is a blind buy, I trust your taste. On ebay is around 150 dollars, and the one I found here in Mexico is 50.00 dollars. I think is a good collectable piece or can also be a spacial gift. Good day and thanks for your great reviews.
Lancôme Magnifique should never have been discontinued💔
For Bal D’Afrique you could just buy a 12ml oil from either Arabian Perfume Oil or Universal and make a 50ml spray by mixing it with 38ml of Perfumers Alcohol or just plain 95% Everclear. Let it rest two weeks and that’s it. It’ll last and project amazingly, trust me :) This is what I did with my Jo Malone oils and the perfumes last almost the whole day and project really well. I wouldn’t suggest doing this with Oil Perfumery oils as they’re more diluted and better suited as oils.
I totally agree with you and Bal D’Afrique , i loooove it but it doesn’t last on my skin , just one hour and gone. I wanted to buy it but I can’t!!!!!! But I love it, so so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I bought ZARA A PERFUME and it’s not even close to it , i hate It on my skin. So , I will ALWAYS dream about Bal D’ Afrique ❤️.
Yes I agree, doesn't do it for me and I don't catch the similarity to Bal D'afrique. Thankfully the Zara Tonka wood is right on, so at leat I have that going for me 😂
I’m so bummed Mugler’s essence absolou was discontinued 😭
You still cant it tho, is difficult but still feasible.
Try Mecari. It’s pretty expensive though like $100 plus. It’s really medicinal to my nose. I wanted to really like it.😫
I agree. I never got a chance to smell this Alien. 👽🍨
Pure Musc is one of my favourite fragrances from my collection.
Its sad they always stop make fragrances People love 🙁 i wish they did start make Dior cherie again and many more. i have started to buy backups of my favorit parfumes now, bc im afraid they Will stop make them aswell.
Yes, I buy back up's as well for the same reason 😂
@@TheScented 🙈😂 thats The best way 👍
The problem is that with time they will start to smell like they're past their best.
I regret not doing that before
@@carolinaochoa7900 fragrances last up to 35 years if you keep them in a dark and cold place, I overspray a lot so im not worried about that they will turn bad 😊
I’m afraid to love something too much. If I do it’s surely gonna be discontinued. I was crazy about YSL Elle. I searched all over, buying suggested dupes that never came close. I finally found something really close. Joop Wow! Intense
It’s not exact but the closest I’ve found.
Bring back YSL Elle! Midnight Poison! I’ve even contacted the companies to express my feelings.
😯😯 I just bought "Elle" the other Day?? Its not hard to find it here in Europe.. I live in Denmark and easy for me to find the originally Even.. Thats strange🤔 i wish i could help You!!!
@@sunshine7861 It’s so strange that they stopped carrying it in the US.
Thank you for thinking of me regardless.🙏🏼❤️
I'm with you on dupes for expensive fragrances that don't last. There are quite a few Byredo's that I'm a fan of, but none of them last beyond three hours on me. Ridiculous.
Bring back: 1. Maroc by Ultime II 2.Avon Inspire 3.Escada Magnetism for Men 4.Dior Midnight Poison 5. Gucci Pour Homme II for men 6. Miracle Homme for Men 7. Max Mara 8. And also bring back all perfumes and colognes that were reformulated and watered down yet still repackaged as if it was the original!!!! Also agree and love your view on dupes by the way! & yes WHY WHY WHY was Gucci Pour Homme II discontinued is beyond me!!
I had Max Mara and loved it so much!
Maroc is GORGEOUS and i treasure the tiny bit i have left.
Loved Bvlgari pour femme. went thru 2 bottles.
Gucci Envy - how could they discontinue such a masterpiece!
I know right?! 😭
Alien Essence Absolue would be a good one too. The demand is certainly there.
I'm hanging on to the last few drops of my Gucci Envy 😩
I'm the same with Ritz spray
My heart is still broken over Chloe Love and that I never had a chance to actually purchase it :( I found a pretty good dupe with Jil Sander Simply Poudree, very affordable as well. There's actually a Brazilian clone house (Nuancie) that makes a Love clone, but it doesn't seem like they ship internationally 🙈
I found a mini of it on Mercari I like it better than Chloe and Love Story
Search on eBay for Chloé Love fragrance oil.

Did they discontinued valentino donna edp as well? I heard they did, and because of that, I had to blind bought it to myself 😅 the bottle is so beautiful! And I'm glad I love the scent as well!👍
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe they did, which is a shame. Lucky you got a bottle! :) it's beautiful
I have several bottles of Gucci Envy. I snatched them up online about 7 years ago. It was my favorite. Ironically, the two Gucci Envy flankers are still out there. Issey Miyake has A Scent that is discontinued but you can still buy it. It smells like a Japanese rain forest but the dry down is a bit like Gucci Envy.
You are so lucky! I'd love to buy one of those bottle off you if you're willing 😉
I do remember paying nearly $200 for a 3.4 oz bottle. Now someone is trying to charge $699 for a bottle which is not worth it. All the unopened bottles are still quite old and sometimes I wonder how fresh they are. I wouldn’t feel comfortable placing a price on a bottle for that reason. I need to spray it on my clothes to get any longevity as it doesn’t last on my skin. Perhaps we can share perfume collections and organize a trade of an 8ml/10ml of something.
It was at least a few years ago when I first smelled Bal D’Afrique. I got a sample at a Byredo counter in Nordstrom’s. It was my favorite. I went through the sample and kept thinking about it for another year when I smelled it again. And then I learned about Alexandria and saw they had a dupe for it. Got a sample set including Africano but the dupe just didn’t give me the same feeling. It replaced part of the marigold with citrus and wasn’t as warm and sunny. I only wore a couple mL before deciding to get Bal D’Afrique during a $50 off $200 sale (US). Still personally one of my most expensive bottles per mL but I love it. It lasts 8h on me and I smell it around me with about 2 sprays. 3 gives me a headache and I learned this after wanting to bathe in it multiple times lol. Good for me though as it’s so pricy and it forces me to savor it.
Note, the sale was at Neimans. Saks does similar sales sometimes including fragrance. I just got the 50ml since I feel it has potential to turn.
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for the sale! :)
Love, Chloe was amazing! I totally agree they need to bring it back. 💕
Cacharel Eau d’Eden,Givenchy Dahlia Noir,Laura Biagiotti Emotion...wish to smell them once again❤️
It sucks when fragances you like are discontinued,but if I can find a good dupe oil I'm good,it's like you said beggers can't be choosers lol 🤣 so I take what u can get.l wish I could find one for Tonka woods and truth or dare. That black square bottle was sooo sexy 😉 tfs!stay safe and well 🙏🏼
I didn’t pick up Chloe Love because it smelled too much like Insolence on me.
Insolence smelled like YSL Paris on me!
I wish I knew about Zara's Tonka Wood when it was still around!!! Bal’dfrique is way too $$$.
You can get it for $110 on Ebay. I love Ebay.
I want Gloria Cacharel and Organza Indecence Givenchy back!
I really loved Pure Poison Elixir with the old fashioned atomiser, I bought 3 bottles of it when I heard it was discontinued. I also liked Givenchy Eau Torride. I managed to find Truth or Dare so I've just ordered it, it's a blind buy so I'm super excited to finally try it
I'm trying to figure out which ones I should be looking for at TjMaxx 🤔
All of them! Worst case you can sell them for more than you got them for lol
I wish our tjmaxx had good fragrances!
I wanted to shed a tear when you mentioned Gucci Envy. That was my holy grail and scent of my early 20’s and I have forever been hunting for something similar to replace it. It was a HUGE compliment getter. I found Bobbi Brown Almost Bare to be the closest thing, unfortunately, that has also been discontinued ☹️.
Try Burberry Brit Sheer!
Fragrancenet has it for $45
I just checked and that's Gucci envy Me. Unfortunately not the same, though still a good fragrance
nevermind my Burberry Brit Sheer comment, that one resembles Gucci Envy Me, not Gucci Envy.
Lady Gaga fame was one of the best selling perfumes of all time and it was discontinued. It is my favorite for when i want to feel confident, sexy and powerful. Its not a super high end perfume but it is very unique i think
Gucci II for women, Tribecca by Paul Sebastian(for nostalgia sake!!) Victoria's Secret Mood Sweet Craving, Rose Caramel, The whole Breathe Romance line from Bath and Bodyworks(SOOO GOOD), Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrete. Miss Dior Cherie original version.. all so good, I miss wearing and enjoying them
All time favorite discontinued
Keiko Mecheri: Loukhoum
GIRL WHAT??? I wanted to buy this 2 years ago and i didn't have money, they discontinued it???? 😭😭😭
I like your casual summer get up ❤
I am so late to the fragrance experience...so I do try to buy reasonable priced discontinued fragrances just for the experience! I love vintage fragrances too🙋🏿♀️ They seem less hurried and had more intent in them. As always I enjoyed the video🌻 Thank you 🍃
I also think the Madonna fragrance is more wearable than Fracas. I didn’t know they had discontinued it. Why do they always do that to the good ones!?😫 Miss Dior Chérie is another one I wish they brought back!
I agree, Miss Dior Cherie was amazing too! I haven't smelled it in a long time 😔
There are some fragrances nowadays that have a tinge of some of the classics, but it's like the freaking zombie apocalypse. Throw a sh** load of sugar and cashambroxamideakigalamberwood-SUPER on it and call it a day. 😂 Plus people have such congested bodies these days that they become allergic to everything. New regs come out and suddenly another compound gets banned. Bye-bye beautiful complex perfume, hello Sauvage. Jokes on them though. People are probably allergic to it already. 🤣 AaCHOOO! 🤧
Congrats on 7k!! Also love this video. I didn't know until last year that perfume are being discontinued because I never had to rebuy something and couldn't find. So now I'm so paranoid that will discontinue my fav fragrance, which they always do 😣. So I'm buying back ups now lol. I never did that before
Btw I saw Gucci envy on fragrancenet
Thanks! 😊 I'll have to check it on fragrancenet ❤️🤗 lol I buy back up's of my favourites as well, just in case
@@TheScented let me know if that's the one that you want. I'll be happy if you find your favourite 😊
I just picked up Encre Noire Pour Elle
I bought gucci pour homme II last year and its one of my favorite frags of all time. It's sexy af and woman love it. They always discontinue the best ones
You can get Bal d’Afrique for as low as $110 for 3.4 oz on Ebay. And I just don’t know many discontinued fragrances, but honestly Chanel #5 is not what it used to be. That was my signature and I loved every stage of it, especially the deep drydown.. alas. I recently ordered a brand new EDP from Chanel- no way it was a fake. I do have a vintage 1960’s parfum and a vintage Eau de Cologne but I wanted a sprayer. Anyway, there is something unpleasant to it now😥.
oh, last time you were cheap, now you are greedy? LOL. I guess we have the same roots. This was excellent video by the way and the topic I could talk about for days. My latest complaint about discontinued is Cartier Must II (not Must) but Must II. I made a blind buy just last week and actually found a dupe for it. Quelque Fleurs by Houbigant is such a great match and my best discovery. I am so happy. Fragrancebuy, add it to your basket, Yana while they have it, especially if you like green florals. By the way this is perfume Princess Diana was wearing for her wedding. I am not surprised, what a classy and regal fragrance.
Thanks, I'll add it to my cart! 😁
Midnight poison 😩💙💙💙💙 I forgot about it!!!
Also Jimmy Choo Exotic! A women was wearing it in a restaurant and I had to ask her what she was wearing. It smelt intoxicatingly. 👃🏼❤️
Blvgari EDP is wonderful. I still have about 1/3 of a bottle left and I only wear it on special occassion
I miss YSL Baby Doll, and as I mentioned before Cacharel Promesse, Michael Kors Sporty Citrus and Angel Innocent. I can't believe they are gone !!
It hurts my soul to hear about Gucci II for men cause I never smelled it and I feel like I’ll love it... and yet here I am to get my heart broken again
I knew I would love it when I read the notes, and I did! It's one of the best and I like it on myself too. I hope you can find it one day 😊
The Scented Well, seems like it only took me one more week to find it! Just got mine in the mail today and definitely love at first spray! I’ll have to do a review on it soon.
Great video👍🏼 - I would love to know if you’ve tried the Oil Perfumery version of Chloe Love & Midnight Poison & how they compare to the original? They have some really great oils & I know you’ve used them too. 😁
They always discontinue the good ones ,so many I love have been discontinued :(
And the re sale prices some people charging, it'd be easier to rob myself 😂
OMG. Yes for Chloe Love. I am so sad they discontinued it. But I read in Fragrantica that Phyllis from Pull & Bear smells like it. So I bought it (it has a new packaging - clear bottle with a mint green label). And I can say they indeed smell almost identical. However, Chloe Love lasts longer. But, Phyllis is so cheap I don't mind reapplying. I believe that Phyllis came first before Chloe Love, so I think Chloe copied them, which maybe the reason it is discontinued.
EDIT: I was wrong, Chloe Love came out first before Phyllis.
Awesome, thanks for the tip! I'll go for that once my bottle runs out :)
Gucci pour homme 2 is an amazing cologne. Gucci Guilty black is also amazing. Have you ever smelled Ralph Lauren Romance for men?
I was SOOO LUCKY to find a Lady who just sold me her Midnight poison perfum and its Even in the box!!!!! I cant get down from the sky..feel like i won the lotteri.. I looved the scene back then and I never thought i should own it again but I did..im so happy😊😍😊😍💙💙💙💙
That's amazing! ❤️ 👏
One more to add to the list - Tom Ford’s gorgeous Tobacco Oud Intense, discontinued about last year.
Hi Yana! I enjoy your content, and your style. Thank you for sharing these. Question for you: how close would you compare Oil Perfumery’s Midnight Poison dupe to the original?
It's quite close, it's more of the drydown representation. I'd say 95%
The Scented thank you for getting back to me. I researched the Pure Royal one, but they have numbers.. can you disclose the one that would be the MP dupe?...
As a side comment/opinion, you are beautiful, and I love your bubbly yet sassy personality.
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne is a pretty grapefruit/almond/neroli, springtime scent that I'm SO glad i have. Also, I wish I could get Santal 33, but Zara S4ND4LWOOD is such a yummy leather/sandalwood. Another fragrance I wish was still around is Armani Acqua di Gio Essenza.
Armani Gìo, the original from the 90’s. It was so beautiful!
Came hoping you mentioned Gucci Envy, but the men's one, it's so bizarre they discontinued it, it's so amazing. Sitting on an old bottle myself and I can't believe how much they're going for now. Smells like sexy woodsy candle wax to me, so hot.
Gucci Pour Homme original is also amazing and discontinued. :(
I can't bear the idea I may never ever will be able to smell Tendre Poison again 😔🌸 does anyone know some alternative for it?
Cabotine by Gres is similar 💗
I totally agree. Cabotine Gres is close enough. Tendre poison was my signature scent.
Thank you both! I will reach for it 🌸
@@EloisaMontesdeOcaTV and is also inexpensive. In Greece you can find it for 25euro 100ml
Hi. I discovered a very very similar perfume to Dior tender poison recently. It’s called pascal Morabito Perle Verte and it’s so affordable. It’s less than £15 for 100ml and lasting power is decent. You should definitely try it if u can get it
Would love to hear your list of men's colognes you think they should bring back. Mugler Ultra Zest would be my first wish.
