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.
Rich, musky and powdery Besos (Spanish for kisses) has a big spicy jasmine sambac heart. The volatile carefree flower is anchored with earthy powdery iris absolu and ambery benzoin.
Perfumer: Shyamala Maisondieu, the nose behind perfumes such as Velvet Orchid (Tom Ford), Incognito (Rouge Bunny Rouge), Terre de Lumiere (L`Occitane) among others.

The Sniff on Besos:
"... the heart of Besos is delicately and pleasantly floral. It has shades of both carnation and strawberry milkshake at times but it is never overpowering or too sweet. As it opens fully it becomes dry, powdery and almost a little old-fashioned. One can imagine a beautifully coiffed Edwardian lady smelling like this."
