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.
A theatrical drama of leathery osmanthus and a hint of tuberose.
Christopher Marlowe was a playwright of the Elizabethan period, and his life might have been as interesting as any play, allegedly a spy and an atheist, having affairs with prominent men, decadent and thrill seeking and at the end assassinated by a mysterious killer. Then there’s a theory that he might have faked his death to continue to write as… William Shakespeare.
The perfume dedicated to such a character is quite Baroque, flowers morphing into a leather, apricots mixing with sweet myrrh, all wrapped in oakmoss.

The Sniff on Marlowe by Jardin's d'Ecrivains:
"The first few times we tested this scent, we didn’t understand the links to Christopher Marlowe, but by the third or fourth test we sort of did. Marlowe evokes that grand-costume-and-powdered-hair type era. It is theatrical and overblown. It has a definite and distinct personality. It smells of various shades of pink, white and violet and it really does not waiver from that path throughout."
