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.
Conceptually Shermine is iris morphing into ermine, a cool woody material (which iris can be) turning into clouds of caressing powdery fantasy iris.
The perfumer hinted at the many faces of iris. Cardamom and lavender show how cool and aqueous iris can be. The Argentinian lemon note brings out the crispiness and sparkle and vanilla and musks highlight the creamy softness. Finally, clouds of classic powdery iris woodiness come out on the mix of vetiver, patchouli and guaïac wood.

The Sniff on Shermine: "[it] is an mysterious fragrance which showcases woody notes alongside softer florals and musks. Both tantalising and bold, soft and woody, this fragrance is a changeable one that will match your every mood."
