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.
Oliban is taken from the word olibanum. Another name for precious resin more commonly known as frankincense. Oliban uses a particular method of extraction, in which cedar wood essential oil is extracted alongside olibanum resin, the wood imbues the resulting incense with a delicate, soft fruity opening. Sandalwood and musks give Oliban a mystical, balmy and sensuous quality invoking a hallowed, spiritual fragrance.
