This item is permanently unavailable and will not be coming back in stock. Read more

The following are some reasons why perfumes can become unavailable:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. The brand ceases operating. The creative director passed away, got bored, started a new project, sold the business, etc.
  4. 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.
  5. The brand changed the distribution model, eg from niche to duty free.

All about this fragrance

Vibe check

This belongs in a pared-back grooming ritual, where the appeal is precision rather than perfume. It suits a bathroom shelf, a travel washbag or a barber-style routine, projecting a clean, disciplined, quietly traditional presence.

How to wear

Use it as a practical grooming accessory in warm weather or after shaving, when a light, non-fragrant touch is most useful. The alum stone is meant to be applied sparingly; the metal case keeps it protected and easy to carry without adding scent or weight.

Who it’s for

For those who value heritage grooming, natural materials and functional objects with a vintage French feel. It will appeal to minimalists, traditional wet-shaving enthusiasts and anyone drawn to apothecary-style essentials over decorative fragrance.

Féret Parfumeur’s story

Féret Parfumeur is a family-run French house built on apothecary know-how, natural ingredients and Made in France production. Its identity blends heritage with practical beauty, preserving original formulas while presenting them in distinctive retro packaging.

Metal Case for Bloc Hyalin’s concept

Bloc Hyalin is part of Féret Parfumeur’s long apothecary history, developed by the Féret family in the late 19th century and still produced in France from the original recipe. The metal case reflects the brand’s enduring shoe-polish-tin style packaging, which has become part of its retro-chic identity.

Extra info

Bloc Hyalin is not a perfume but a 100% natural potassium alum stone. Féret Parfumeur has long packaged it in a metal tin styled like a shoe polish box, a detail that has become one of the product’s signatures.
