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.
The concept of the perfume is full of references to fairy tales about beautiful smart princesses who knew magic and lived in enormous thick forests in the north of Russia well before modern states came about.
These northern forests and bogs were full of wild berries as well as magical creatures luring travelers into the domains of the princesses. But in the Russian folk tradition the lady would usually welcome the guests, treat them to a meal and give directions for their quest.
So the perfume is imaginary strong tea (brought by caravans from China and thus smoked to endure the long trip). This smoky tea is infused with exotic cloudberries, stone bramble, cranberries, guelder-rose berries for flavor and vitamins. Finally, the tea is served in the house built of ancient tree logs, layered with moss for insulation.
If Hayao Miyazakii could create olfactory Kalevala.
