List All Discontinued Scents You'd Like Back!
Why don't we build a "database" of all the discontinued scents we'd like to have back? Maybe then we could start efforts to get them back. I know there are tons of them, but I don't have the time to go through every posting there is, so maybe just a simple list with name of perfume and manufacturer....that way everything would be in one string and we might be able to help each other better.
Sound like a good idea? Let me know what you think about trying to at least get 1 board that would have all names on it. I don't want to do away with the others, but this one could be a "quick refererence board". |

Desperately looking for 2 colognes that have been discontinued and have been unsuccessful in loacating...
1. Musk Solid Cologne in black compact, circa late 1970's, unknown manufacturer...last located it in a small, private pharmacy (by my surprise delight!) in 1993, so it was manufactured at least into the early 90's. Anyone can help me find this, would surely appreciate any and all leads!!!
2. Sonoma eau de toilette spray cologne, manufactured and sold at Kohl's department stores in late 90's to early 2000.
Absolutely loved these scents and would pay about anything to secure a bottle or two...thanks! |

I am the chief perfumer with Martecci's Fine Fragrances. If you want a discontinued scent to come back, I need one ounce or more of the original in great smelling condition and at a sufficient number of pre-payers to indicate demand for me to consider initiating the project.
For example if you desire Laura Ashley No. 1, Unihibited by Cher, Heaven Sent by MEM, or Heaven Sent by Rubenstein, or Chaos perfume by DK, I can make it to order for you.
EMMA by Laura Ashley, the limited edition (?) Laura Ashley No. 3, and Andiamo by Princess Marcella Borghese are my current projects. Just email me with your specific request at martecci@cox.net, or see my transitional site at http://members.cox.net/heartlandmerch/

Tribu eau de parfum- totally different from the still-available edp
Woodhue! I still remember that wood-grain cap, the way it spun off when I would sneak some from my mother's make-up table; it would get all over my hands. Strange to think it was a 'drugstore' fragrance- it was wonderful.
Tigress- to me, this was the grown-up, city living 'older sister' of Woodhue.
Gosh, I miss the Tribu edp. It was spicy/sweet but not cloying. It was the BEST!
This is kind of lame 'help', but Suzanne, I did see Ici and Fire and Ice on the internet- I just can't remember where- I'm sorry. But I DID see them! good luck |

| Can anyone tell me what this perfume was? My stepmother got it as a present in 1966 and thought it was overwhelming, so she gave it to me to wear w/ jeans and sneakers as an 11-year-old tomboy for fun, and I loved it. It was Parisian, and the bottle was cobalt blue glass, squat, on a pedastal, with a fake gold leaf covering (gold outside, brilliant dark blue inside), and the stopper was dome-shaped. The scent was intense, maybe musky, not very floral and not old-ladyish. Based on the look of the thing I think it may have been something called Gamine, which I saw in a perfume book on display at a vintage perfume store in Montmartre. I have NO other clues. This is one of those transport-me-back-to-childhood things. Thanks! |

| Yes, Parry, and that is free of charge... Until a certain point if after several tries you are still not satisfied, then they charge lab fees. I have worked with three such companies. Both here in So. Cal and back east. One finally got a match to my formula. But god knows how they duplicated it. They didn't use my exact formula. You don't own the formula or see what's in it. That way you have to go to them to have it made. On my second two formulas I said to hell with this and batched them myself and saved a lot of money. But of course they were my original formulas and I didn't have to match something particular. There are about five main houses that sell raw materials and you can order them if they think you are a pro company. |

"Eau de Love"
Original "Ambush"
Original "Heaven Sent"
"Woodhue"
And, as a little kid I wore "Daisies Won't Tell" from Avon - does anyone else remember that? I'd love to see it make a comeback for younger girls who feel the need for fragrance. It was lovely! |

I have found it at an online supplier, but it was quite expensive. Why do the manufacturers 'relaunch' a perfectly wonderful product?? Don't they remember the 'Coke Classic' fiasco? |

| Like in so many other areas, federal and state laws have stepped in increasingly and have classified MANY former perfume ingredients as environmentally or personally hazardous. Such is the case with the wonderful and distinctive "nitro musks" which gave so many perfumes a distinctive richness. Manufacturers have had to reformulate probably the majority of scents to comply with such laws, changing the basic character of many fragrances. Many odorants just aren't available to the perfumer anymore. |

How expensive is it to make a perfume? What do you think the start up costs would be?
Thanks.

Perry...
The start-up costs are outrageous. I'm a beginner at marketing fragrances myself. I found that you have to buy a minimum of ten thousand sprayers and caps, min. Of 5K bottles. Bottle decorators and fillers don't want to deal with orders under 5K, packaging costs are about a dollar a box with liner. Don't forget, your fragrance doesn't only have to smell good, but it must look luxurious, too, so you can't go cheap. I figure my products are costing me about $10 a unit as a small manufacturer. It would be much cheaper if I were Procter and Gamble, etc. Also, if you go to stores to sell, they will prefer to deal with you if you have more than one scent to sell...so... Anyway, it is costing me several hunderd thousand dollars to produce three. Your main expenses are bottles, decorating bottles (silkscreening, etc), a package, filling charges per bottle, your perfume oil at between $55-$130 a pound, and pumps and overcaps. As a beginner in the field, stores can't charge more than about $45 per bottle as you are an unknown. That means you sell for about $17 as there is a high mark up. It's a nightmare, but I love doing it. It has to be a passion. I am still waiting to see profits. I don't mean to discourage you, if you are like me, go for it. |

| Yes, a lot of formerly used chems and even natural products have had limitations put on them about usage level or use at all. One example I cited are the very nice "nitro" musks such as musk xylene which were WIDELY used because of their particularly nice musk odor. Orris root, and some chems that give a cinnamon smell such as cinnamaldehyde. Some rules are by state and some federal, some international. Any non-adherence to these rules restricts the sales area of a product to China or somewhere like that. |

Storer,
Thanks for the information. Too much money for my wallet. Are there people who can analize a fragrance and duplicate it the best that they can? I know that each fragrance has it's own formula and it's probably a well kept secret. But, what if someone came to you with a perfume? Could you come close to duplicating it? If not, are there people or companies that can do that?
Thanks.

| Yes, Perry, there are a number of companies here and abroad that specialize in matching a "target" fragrance, but they do it expecting that you are goinig to buy quite a few pounds of the raw oil from them for manufacture. You can't go in and ask for just one bottle unless you cleverly lie to them about your intentions. (They don't charge to do the duplication itself), so you could fake them out. ;-) |

I was amazed to see After Five on the list. I loved that! I used to buy it at a small card shop near my home in Ohio years, and years and years ago! My mother used Woodhue and she died when I was six, so that was a long-time favorite. I started using Galore by Scandia ($7 a bottle) in 1973. Germaine Montail then began Galore distribution and cost went up, but at least it was everywhere. Now, I can only find the cologne. No powder, lotion, gift sets or extra goodies are anywhere to be found.

This is a small start on a list!
Fragrance X has my Galore cologne, but no lotion or powder. No one seems to have After Five anymore!

Hi Claudia,
Don't feel bad, as you were trying to help people find perfumes they may be looking for, at a fair price. There are many posts on this site that are pro & con on the Vermont Country Store. My opinion happens to be they con people with the nostalgic come on, & hit ya in the wallet once your hooked by their "yesteryear" appeal. The perfumes "just as you remember them," that they sell are not Originals from long ago. They are remakes, packaged to look pretty much like the "Real Deal," only they aren't. They smell totally different, for the same reason, they aren't the Originals. The legitamite perfumes that you can get there, are way, way, cheaper on other perfume sites. They pull this with other items as well. A this or that is back just as you remember it, & it's priced through the roof. Then you walk into Wal- Mart, or some other store & find the same thing dirt cheap compared to their prices. This just happens to be my opinion. But Claudia, you should never feel bad about trying to help someone, & that's what you were doing when you posted here.

| Unfortunately, NONE of the old fragrances are going to smell the "same as you remember it", simply because of the quality of ingredients has drastically changed. Everything is synthetic now; the actual scent oils are manufactured in a laboratory. Back in the day, perfumers used real animal and plant products in their fragrances. So no matter how they try, nothing will ever smell like the real thing "as you remember it" again. |

Hi Felicia,
You got that right !! Animal cruelty laws prevent certain oils, & ingredients from being used now in perfumes. Those were the very thing that gave Original perfumes their wonderful lasting power, & held the auroma that we all remember & loved so much, no matter what our favorite scent was back then.
I see Heaven Sent a lot on this message board. If it isn't by Helena Rubenstein, then it isn't Heaven Sent, period. And other than ebay, collector sites are the place to look under discontinued perfumes, or vanity items.

| I've been fortunate with the quality of Galore that I have purchased from various perfume sites. While I'm not ecstatic about buying my cologne from Five Star, it smells the same as it did when it had fancier names like Germaine Monteil or Scandia. :) I must say, I like finding it at reasonable prices. Now, if I could extend that pricing and availability to the lotion and powder! Greedy aren't I? I doubt there are many lesser known fragrances that have been available for so long. It was introduced in 1964 and I discovered it in 1973. I always resented being ambushed passing through the cosmetics area of department stores, but the day I was "spritzed" with Galore changed my fragrance life. I know we are "supposed" to change fragrances frequently, but I love having strangers stop me to compliment the same fragrance my friends' grown children call "Claudia's Galore"! |

Claudia,
Www.perfumebay.com usually sells several items of Galore, by Germaine Monteil, including the Perfumed Lotion. With Monteil being the Original maker of Galore, product sells fast. They are temp. Out of all items now, but check back w/them from time to time to see if they are restocked. I used to love the Royal Secret Dusting Powder, made by Monteil, & the body cream to go w/it, esp. On a cool fall or winter day.

| I have been searching for Golden Autumn for ever. I am so disappointed to hear that if I ever do find it , it may not smell the same. I also loved something that no one ever mentions..Glorious by Vanderbilt. Very light, almost sweet but so feminine and pretty. I got it as a gift from my daughter about 15 years ago. I saved a tiny bit for each of my kids' weddings, that's how much I loved it. Ad also something called "Bond Street" I think, from my high school, early college days, and finally Blue Grass, one of my first loves favorites. I find it once in awhile at discount outlets and boy does that bring back memories!! |

Hello Kathy,
Both Bond Street (by Yardley,) & Golden Autumn, (by Prince Matchabellii,) are very hard to come by. Ebay, & collector sites are a good source to look for them. I just checked, & there is quite a bit of Golden Autumn listed on Ebay now. Look for it in Health and Beauty.
As far as Blue Grass, (I love it ) you can get it everywhere, & quite reasonable too. Glorious is harder to find now, but here's a site where you can get them both.
Www.perfumebay.com
I've ordered from them many times & have found there service to be excellent.

My List:
Herbessence by Helena Rubinstein
Unforgettable by Revlon
Blue Carnation by Roger & Gallet
Woodhue by Fabrege
Beloved by Prince Machebelli
Fire and Ice by Revlon
Ici by Coty
Galore by Germaine Monteil or Scandia (5 Star is atrocious! NOTHING like the original!)
Moonwind by Avon
...and lots, LOTS more! It's just too depressing writing them down ... Not trying to rain on anyones parade, but in reality, more than likely, they're not coming back. The few that have made the attempt (for example Heaven Scent!) is a far cry from the original since they change the formula in the process. It's truly sad.
I'm aware you can get some of the old originals on Ebay or other sites, but the cost is astronomical! And they are so old, that the scent has obviously been affected. Not worth the asking price for an ancient bottle of weak perfume. |

They have two kinds- Wood scents ( patchouli, amberwood and sandalwood) and Flower scents ( hyacinth, honeysuckle and ylang-ylang) . You can see them here:

You can always try Vermont Country Store for some disc. Fragrances.
NOTE: times have changed, and many American fragrances are chemically synthesized from petroleum byproducts; everything but the most expensive and exclusive scents no longer use animal products or endangered plant species, so they may not smell like we remember them ( especially anything with musk, civet, some kinds of flowers, or ambergris in it). |

As I've told people before, on other threads for discontinued perfumes, etc. The Vermont Country Store DOES NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL ITEMS. THEY ARE CHEAP-SMELLING FAKES, not to mention, they're expensive for horrible way they smell.
If ANY OF YOU, are interested in the TRUE ORIGINALS, the best source of finding them and paying a 'reasonable' price, is on eBay. Just do a 'World-Wide' search. There are other sites, of course, that you'll be able to find these perfumes/fragrances of days gone by, but you can be sure that you will PAY for them DEARLY...and I do mean DEARLY.
So, stick to eBay. Forget The Vermont Country Store, they will flim-flam you with AWFUL fakes.
Even Irma Shorell, does not sell the originals; they have re-formulated some Perfumes like "My Sin", and although it smells nice, it's NOTHING like the original.
Well, now for my list: I would love to have Tigress, Chanel No 22 (original), Arpege (original), My Sin (Lanvin), Crescendo (Lanvin), Rumeur (Lanvin), Scandal (Lanvin), Danger (Ciro), Eau de Love, Heaven Sent by Helena Rubenstein, Brocade (Avon), Ecusson (original), Farouche by Nina Ricci, Ambush, Tabu, Cachet (original), and of course, THE MUSKS - such as:
RH Macy Musk Oil, West-Cabot (NOT Cabot) Original Natural Musk Oil, Satana Oil of Musk, Jovan (original), Houbigant Musk, and ANY Natural Musks of the 1970s. These, of course, EXCLUDE ALL the Musks today that are manufactured in the United States.
The ONLY way, you can get 'Natural' Musk oils, as far as I know, you have to inquire overseas, or go to some foreign website. Nowadays, here in the USA, they use artificial or flower 'White Musks' which smell Nothing like the originals, which when dabbed and rubbed onto your skin, lasted for days on end, and drove anyone in your vecinity MAD with pleasure. They would follow your scent trail. Trust me on this.
Ah, to have those golden days of yore....when Magical Fragrances reigned supreme!!! |
