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.
DOULEUR! s an collaboration between Antonio Gardoni of Bogue Profumo and artist/tattooist Freddie Albrighton.
It opens with a rush of lavender, rosemary and sweet mint, layered on acetates and aldehydes that shriek at a knife-sharp pitch. A veil of melon aquatics, the saltiness of seaweed and an underlying sweetness drape over it, so that every contrasting note rolls together into something that gradually gets softer and more pliable.
As it wears, the shining star of DOULEUR! comes through, a piercing metallic rose, barely resembling a floral we are familiar with. Here it begins to turn more playful, with wisps of cotton candy and caramel taking over the cool, piercing opening, and softening more as layers of flesh, benzoin and hints of cedar ground and melt DOULEUR! into a second skin.
It has a radiant translucency that billows accords of sunburnt skin, a glimpse of something waxy and animalistic, and a warm comforting vanilla, all surrounded by this sharp hologram of an oxidised rose.
