The following are some reasons why perfumes can become unavailable:
Each year, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) issues ever-stricter safety and allergen regulations. This affects quite a few classic formulas as well as niche compositions, and sometimes brands have to discontinue a perfume if they are unable to reformulate.
The brand decides to change the concentration. For example, an eau de parfum is reformulated as an extrait, effectively turning it into a different perfume.
The brand ceases operating. The creative director passed away, got bored, started a new project, sold the business, etc.
The brand cannot keep up with logistics and production demands, with disruptions for up to a year. If there is no regular production and availability schedule, it is not viable for a stockist to carry the brand.
The brand changed the distribution model, eg from niche to duty free.
Pistacia Lentiscus is a hardy shrub that grows widely throughout the Mediterranean. It has a very distinct resinous smell and produces a resin known as mastic which is exclusively cultivated on the Greek island of Chios, famous for its mastic production which is known as locally 'Tears of Chios'.
Lentisque has a green and woody opening which instantly conjures up the aroma of the lentiscus, rising under the hot Mediterranean sun. Mastic essence and absolute are blended with galbanum which heightens the intense green top notes. Cistus labdanum resin and dry woods soften the green accord which evolves into an intimate, animalic musk with hints of ambergris.
