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.

Megalium, an ancient fragrance passed down through the ages, from a time when rose water flowed from fountains and balsams perfumed the lavish private lives of the Romans from their bathing rituals to their chambers and boudoirs.
Soft yet spicy notes of cinnamon and calamus blend with a redolent heart of pimiento berry and Bulgarian rose extract, drying down to a dramatic finish of myrrh and frankincense.
Origins of the materials:
Top notes Royal cinnamon essence from Laos Cinnamon tree leaves from Sri Lanka Mandarin extract Calamus essence from India
Heart notes Nutmeg essence from Moluccas Indonesan pimento pepper essence Indian white pepper absolute Bulgarian rose extract
Base notes Olibanum (frankincense) extract from Somalia Ethiopian myrrh extract Yemení opoponax extract Styrax resin

Scent & Chemistry on Carner's Megalium:
"One of the most amazing perfume launches this year...The spicy oriental ingredient list sounds darker than it actually wears, and that is also due to the nice lift of the musk accord with a significant dose of the potent powdery fruity, woody-ambery shaded Nirvanolide musk and 2% of the red-fruity linear top-note musk Sylkolide, which together curb some aggressiveness of the cinnamon. 'Megalium' is a very beautiful and opulent composition, antique in conception, highly modern in its execution, very long-lasting with a massive silage and great projection: Clean and dirty all at once, cold incense smoke and warm woody-ambers, and most of all cinnamic in every respect. A hell of a perfume!"
*** ... amazing how much work needs to be done to just put 'cinnamon' in the list of notes and how the aesthtic pyramid differs from technical skeletone of a fragrance.

The Sniff on Megalium by Carner: "Imagine, if you will, the cityscape of Pompeii. The year is AD 79, a rumbling volcano looms over the city emitting an occasional low growl but, for the moment, it is silent. Plaster and stone buildings stand proud against the hot sun of late summer, casting long shadows. Inside their walls, mosaics and pools reduce the ambient temperature to a more bearable level of warmth during the day, but the nights have started to turn cool."
