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.
Wedding in Tipaza (1938) by Albert Camus is one of perfumer’s favorite texts. In the story Camus vividly depicts summer and the lives of youths in Algerian coastal town of Tipaza. There are the Roman ruins and the sea below, beautiful nature and beautiful young people and lots and lots of sun.
“Possession of the wave”… the words of Camus resonated in perfumer’s head as he wandered among the ancient stones scattered between sea and mountains.
The perfume formula features references to the Algerian flora and the ever-present sea: bergamot trees, wild lemongrass, peppermint, Mediterranean pine and jujube tree and an accord of sea salt.
