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.
With Dodo Zoologist are venturing into fougeres. It’s a perfume style which is more than a century old but is so good it’s still very much en vogue. Originally, a fougere was an aromatic blend composed with oakmoss, lavender, geranium and the sweet hay like smelling molecule of coumarine. Since 1882 this theme has been explored and interpreted many times. Perfumers tried swapping herbs for citruses, oakmoss for vetiver and so on. The ingenuity of the fougere style is that it’s more of an effect rather than a strict recipe. Hence, we have new original fougeres entering the perfume scene quite often.
In Dodo you can trace the classic fougere backbone: fern (that is what fougere means in French) - geranium – oakmoss. However, it’s also a romantic story of a bird living on the tiny tropical island of Mauritius. You can also follow the little feathery guy through the progression of notes: fruit (Dodo’s diet) – ambergris (the sea breeze nuance) – feathery animalic musk.
