Discontinuing Prada L'Homme intense is a felony IMO. What a great, beast performer, deep and rich fragrance. The lame Prada Luna Rosa line does not measure up to the overperformers from L'Homme line at all.
I doubt it ever will. The Armani team switched from saying that it is to saying that it's not. All in all I feel like it was to boost sales which I'm sure it did cause people are buying extras
@@stansmith5610 I know I purchased another back when I had heard. It’s just one of the best frags out there IMO, so I would have really missed it if it went.
As of current it is not discontinued. But they have changed the formulation and removed the magnetic cap, at least for the larger bottles. The performance is worse and there is less of a incense note on the dry down
Eros Flame is a fragrance that my girlfriend bought me after a Venice carneval trip 😎 Great fragrance, good memories , backup bottle already purchased 😁
Thanks for the update. I bought a 200ml Eros Flame because of this while I still have a 100 ml going. Years from now I'll still be enjoying eros flame.
Managed to get 1 million lucky this week, and Im feeling lucky lol. What a performer, nice fresh gourmand fragrance, and beast spl, even with the latest batch. I dont think there’s a reformulation at all.
I really appreciate u still bringing us this video Max, despite being under the weather! That's dedication! I am on top of it! I just hope I can hurry up & grab what I need in time, at a decent price! Feel better man!
I managed to get 200ml bottle of Absolu for 100$ from Notino last year. Also got 2x 75ml bottles of Profumo. 100ml Bleu Electrique backup bottle. 2x 100ml of Ideal Cologne and 2x 100ml of Gentleman Cologne. I think I'm good but it's still sad to hear that my fav frags are being discontinued.
Totally agree. 1 million Lucky is being discontinued, it was in Max’s Thumbnail but I am surprised he didn’t talk about it. Will see if someone going to Europe can grab me a back up Bleu Electrique, thanks for the tip. I really enjoy that fragrance
It is getting crazy! They are axing theses fragrances at an alarming rate. The grey market will be having a field day now. It is to the point when a new release come s out, I am going to hurry and stock up before it gets decapitated. Thanks for the heads up Max. 💯
Didn’t really give Eros a chance i remember smelling it from the bottle and thinking it smelled cheap and old. Ima go back and give it a proper test, definitely picking up flame
i picked it up and was surprised at how versatile it smelled. its sweetness was toned down by a lot compared to eros. I'd say if you're into somewhat sweeter frags, and are looking for a clubbing fragrance you can wear outside of a party environment, then pick it up.
The YSL representatives say that Electriqe is not being discontinued. It’s still on their website. They actually removed other fragrances from the site that were discontinued but this one is still on the site.
@@shave-a-thon3415 Yes it’s out of stock, but read the reviews on it. A company rep says it’s not. They removed 3 other flankers from the site. They kept that on the site out of stock. If they weren’t planning on bringing it back they would have removed it with the other flankers totally. It’s hard to find resources.
Segui sua indicação e adquiri o Versace Eros Flame: excelente fragrância, muito mais madura e bem construída do que o Versace Eros em todas as suas versões (Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum e Parfum). Agradeço esta análise primorosa de uma fragrância que só conhecia de nome. Extasiado!
Bleu Électrique isnt discontinued. In Germany basiclly every online seller restocked, the prices are back to normal and there a bottles with a batchcode from 2022.
Thanks for this, I am a Prada Amber fan and I had not been able to find any over the last few months and I gave up.This vlog sparked my interest again and it is on some discounter sites again, so I stocked up, well happy. Thanks again.
I'll never understand how the major houses can put so much money into R&D and testing, then see from the results that the new mixture has worse performance and then conclude, "Fantastic. Let's release it!"?
Eros flame 🔥 is fire 🔥 I just bought a back up gift set and I agree w you Max to me flame is the best in the line! SMH how can they discontinue this gem 💎
Eros Flame discontinued? Thanks for the warning! Managed to get a 100ml reduced in the UK thankfully. Always had my eyes set on Flame so glad i saw this video. This is the first i heard about it and the video came out months ago.
I just bagged a 200ml 1 Million Lucky after watching this. I have been on the fence buying this fragrance for the longest time. I really enjoy it there was just something always ahead of it on the list. Glad I finally got a big boy bottle of it!
Just a comment the Versace euros flame we find it everywhere as well as the aqua did you absolu like flooded, Just curious how you consider those discontinued is it just like the aqua di Profumo of December 2021 where everyone said it was discontinued but it wasn’t? I’m not trying to challenge you is what I’ve noticed around the fragrance discount site and I understand you say you can pick them up still at the Fragrance discount sites but I don’t see those two particular titles going off market anytime soon do you Max?
There is still a lot of stock on some fragrances even though discontinued - I've said that in the video... The fact that you still find them around doesn't mean that is going to be the case indefinitely!
@@MaxForti 🙏 thanks for the video and good vibes 😎 your my favorite! I hope I didn’t come off as arrogant or disrespectful I just thought you knew more deep level stuff About discontinued Fragrances. And some others I’m having a hard time to find is Prada Luna Rosa carbon Prada Luna Rosa black and even Invictus intense
There's thousands of bottles (maybe tens of thousands) that will be recalled so that the authorized stores can get RA's and send them back to the official distributors. From there, it's anyone's guess where they wind up. Look at Zino by Davidoff and Chrome Legend from Azzaro. Both were discontinued over a decade ago. A few years ago Coty told me they couldn't understand why so many bottles were out there (with current batch codes!). Clarins told me the same thing about Chrome Legend (before they sold Azzaro to L'Oreal). Note that no authorized dealer of Azzaro or Davidoff will sell Legend or Zino and they haven't been on the Davidoff or Azzaro websites for many years. The question is who is producing them?
Thanks Max! I knew they had a bottle of Givenchy cologne in a kiosk the next town over and I drove right over Nd got it 4 min before they closed. Great deal too! It smells amazing!
Yeah, I've kinda wanted to pickup 1 Million Prive and Cologne a couple years back...may picked Cologne because it's not too expensive, but only if I get it at a good price. I really love Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense (and have a backup bottle) but I'm not a huge fan of the Pour Homme (but I do like it) so I won't be getting another bottle. Sad to hear Hermes Terre Eau Tres Fraiche has been discontinued because...well, it surprised me and I like it better than the current formulation of Terre d'Hermes...actually greatly prefer Montale Red Vetiver these days. Anyway, I Tres Fraiche is still available in the major department stores so I'm gonna pickup a bottle this weekend. Cheers!
I still have a few bottles of the 90’s release Givenchy - Gentleman and it still smells amazing the one I have open about 5 in storage too (I store in a dark drawer) . I still have a few bottles of Prada - Amber Homme that stuff is super fresh & Soapy still one of my favourites!!!I also have quite a few bottles of Gucci - Envy about 6-7 years ago they were selling reasonably cheap around £25 for 50ml bottles I bought 4 of them… now they sell for over £200 + lol crazy prices
It's unfortunate to hear that the Bvlgari Aqua line. Those fragrences smell great and I was hoping there would be a new flanker. Thanks for the heads up!
So, Eros Flame is not being discontinued. Its still sold everywhere but most importantly all sizes are on the Versace website, however, I contacted Versace to find out because (If so) I would buy some back up bottles, but I was told by a Versace employee that it is not being discontinued and it is still a high seller for them.
Thanks for the Video Max. Always down to earth rethoric. I enjoy that. When it comes to fragrances, Y from YSL won't be missed by my. A synthetic bomb for me. After getting my nose used to smell niche, many designer fragrances smell pretty synthetic on the top note for me, which continues for a long time. Now, which fragrances I will like to have back? Well, many, but to mention two, Lanvin Avant Garde and Aperge for men. Two designer masterpieces. Recently and because of a good luck moment, I manged to get a 100 ml of Avant Garde (I have a 50 ml from before) and paid retail price. It made my day.
Sad to watch this list with all the beauties which has been gone. One other scent I know has been either X-ed or is going to be reformulated, is Chanel Pour Monsieur. Also Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisée I can't find anywhere, also not on Guelain's website, accept at some discounters who have little stock left.
@@MaxForti Indeed! But also keep in mind the regulations on ingredients. Some ingredients are banned, or highly restricted the last few years, which have had and will have a huge impact on the whole industrie. A reason why for what I heared, Chanel Pour Monsieur (at least the EdT) has been out of production, or maybe even X-ed.
Gentleman cologne is a great scent but an absolutely abysmal performer. Among the worst I've ever tried. It makes my Dior Homme Cologne seem like a beast mode performer.
Everybody was lying that profumo is discontinued, and after 1 year all shops has it. Also the seller always tell that they didnt have any interruption of stocks.
I like Eros Flame and own a small bottle, but it has a strong pepper note. If you don’t like that, stay away. One way to tell if a frag is being discontinued is if it ends up in Drug Store chains. It’s not always the case, but more often than not it is.
Hey Max, since you own a bottle of the original Donna Karan for Men from 1994, would you do another video on this gem but offer very, very close alternatives? Thank you!
I'm not gonna miss ADG Profumo. I bought it because of the hype and really regret it. Old man kinda smell. Eros Flame on the other hand I really like and it gave me a great compliments.
Do you know that AdG profumo is 100% discontinued? Seem things about EU being in full production as well as reps saying that it’s still fully supported very recently
@@blankmandastankman One of those that people slept on. Trust me. Best in the code line so far. Compared it with profumo, absolu, le male le parfum, givenchy gentleman edp. It beats them all. Performance and smell wise it is just so pleasing and addictive. Fragrances are subjective so it may not appeal the same to everyone but i would suggest anyone to try it atleast. I liked it so much that i already got myself 2 back up bottles before it gets expensive.
@@blankmandastankman I have absolu too. People said it is same and blah blah, but it is not the same. Apart from the first 2 minutes, there is nothing same about these two. Even the sweetness is different. If you are using absolu, you know it starts with just a bit of orange and vanilla. Then the rest of the fragrance is carrot seed effervescence and vanilla sweetness. Gold is strong with organce and the sweetness from tonka and benzoin. Then comes the absolutely delicious iris +tonka+benzoin which lasts till the end where some woodiness joins in. I would say absolu is more effervescent vanilla sweet whereas gold is Floral tonka benzoin sweet. In my opinion, gold is not redundant. I can wear gold to office but not absolu. Gold is much creamier and thicker than absolu in dry down so it will work on very cold days too. It is much much classier than absolu.
I bought an extra bottle of 100 ml bleu electronic, on sale, a couple of months ago, just in case. It doesn't look discontinued here in Denmark Its actually on sale again now. But stock seems limited
Eros Flame is so much better than the rest of the line 😞 Versace really do be marketing to 18-20 year olds by sticking with the OG scent DNA instead of the far more interesting Flame.
A triple Habit Rouge shootout would be amazing. I have the EDT, and after the astringent opening it's beautiful. I front a vampy rock band and in our livestreams I tell people that it's "what a vampire smells like". But I still need to nose up the EDP as well as the upcoming new flanker.
Heard Xerjoff is axing their Kemi line and restructuring them to be apart of the Xerjoff line, similar to the erba pura bottles but I’ve been told some are not returning
i'm not sure this is acurrate about ero's flame, it's the same price in all the normal retail spots with the same supply amount.... fast forward to versace itself and the site is still selling it and has it advertised as well
That's so sad! But it's true to a lot of Designer brands... As time goes by and they achieve high-selling volume status, they tend to change the formulations... At that point they might as well retire/discontinue these fragrances as they literally destroy them and our experience!
One of the worst feelings is falling inlove with a fragrance and its getting discontinued soon.. my first heartbreak was gucci pour homme II and now it will be absolu and flame 😔. I guess thats part of the game, time to start doubling up
Not Profumo! I still have a quite a bit left on my current bottle but it's one of my favorites. Prive is another one I'll miss. Can't find Prive anywhere for a decent price. Guess I'll have to spray sparingly on these.
Hey Eduardo, the talks are that it is slowly being phased-out of the roster to make way for new releases as they re-structure their lineup of ADG's (Absolu is gone too) - I would jump on backup bottles before they get really hard to find and very expensive to get!
@@MaxForti Armani USA offered some great 40% to 50% off codes on their entire line over the last few years and I managed to get two large bottles of Profumo (along with almost everything else Armani has released for those prices!). What upsets me is that the Emporio Armani "Stronger With You" line is completely gone from their USA site. I never had a chance to get SWY Absolutely as it was never released in the USA. For some reason, Armani Canada sold it. SWY Intensely I had to order from the UK and forget about SWY Leather. I don't know why they just couldn't import Absolutely and Leather for sale on their USA site.
"The talks". What sources? The talks been profumo has been discontinued for 6 years now. No problem getting bottles in europe. There was like a few weeks it was hard to find, but that was the result of supply chain issues. Im sick of these rumours now
Many of the names mentioned are already impossible to find. However, ADG Profumo has been rumored to be discontinued for over a year now (It was difficult to find last year due to "supply chain issues") but a quick sweep of the internet shows that Profumo is pretty easy to find.
@@jameshaynes7062 that’s absolutely correct. Out of all the fragrances getting discontinued that would’ve hurt the most and fortunately that’s not the case
Hey John, thanks for letting me know - that's odd! YT has been having major issues when it comes to populating content, etc. Make sure you have your notification bell icon turned-on - I post NEW video(s) every week!
@@MaxForti Where does YT send notifications? They stopped sending emails a year or two ago. If I don't search for one of the many channels I subscribe to, I'll never know if a new video is out.
Bond No 9 Montauk Bond No 9 New Haarlem Bond No 9 I love NY for All Bond No 9 Manhattan Love these fragrances but I can’t stand the house for discontinuing my favorites
I jus hate when fragrances get discontinued I wish they could bring back every single one of them from every decade we would have over a trillion fragrances.
Is purfomo is really discontinued I’ve been shopping for only that Fragrance the last 3 days and was hoping it would go from 150 usd to at least 100 usd but now I know I gotta buy soon
It's not in stock in YSL's official USA site. See if it's on any of YSL's European sites. If it's in their authorized stores in Sweden, see what the batch code is. If it's a year or more old, that means they haven't cooked up any new batches and are just getting rid of old stock.
Huh, some of those are still easily available (full price) and quite popular in both India and Germany. Wondering if they're going to continue selling some of them in specific local markets. Especially Million Lucky is still a bestseller in India. Seems weird to ax it completely. But good to know!
I really like the Eros Flame shower gel and deodorant but the cologne just didn’t quite hit that level for me (many love it and they’re not wrong, just a personal preference)
1 million Lucky is being discontinued, it was in Max’s Thumbnail but I am surprised he didn’t talk about it. Can we get a video for good replacements for discontinued fragrances
Hello , I just want to ask about a perfume which was available in the nineties, I can’t remember it’s name, but I recall its package, the package had windmill with British rural home with British flag , if you have any idea about such description, please notify me
It's one thing for fragrance houses to discontinue sub-par fragrances but for the most part the fragrances that are usually discontinued are masterpieces smh
Today we're talking about a subject that is not a very pleasant one - discontinuation of fragrances! What fragrance do you wish would come back? What other fragrances designer or niche do you know is being discontinued? Let me know in the comments!

Discontinuing Prada L'Homme intense is a felony IMO.
What a great, beast performer, deep and rich fragrance.
The lame Prada Luna Rosa line does not measure up to the overperformers from L'Homme line at all.
It sure is. Prada done this with Amber intense too. Amber Pour homme intense was awesome same as l'homme intense
Bought a back up bottle. For me Prada l‘homme Intense is one of my top 3 Scents. Love it and sadly it will be discontinued.
That’s why i bough two bottles as a backup 😂
@@Morowinger i will save my bottle and i will sell it to you in 2027
Profumo has been rumored to be discontinued for so long yet it is still available. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I doubt it ever will. The Armani team switched from saying that it is to saying that it's not. All in all I feel like it was to boost sales which I'm sure it did cause people are buying extras

@@dennist342Oh shoot, not in the bottle I purchased in the winter. That’s terrible if true.
Man the same with Flame! First mentions about the disconuation was in the end of 2021...is that really true?
Eros Flame is a fragrance that my girlfriend bought me after a Venice carneval trip 😎 Great fragrance, good memories , backup bottle already purchased 😁
Just got my self a 200ML. Preserve for years to come sir. My favourite
Thanks for the update. I bought a 200ml Eros Flame because of this while I still have a 100 ml going. Years from now I'll still be enjoying eros flame.
Thanks Max. No matter how good it smells, if the general public isn't interested, It goes down in 🔥🔥🔥
Managed to get 1 million lucky this week, and Im feeling lucky lol. What a performer, nice fresh gourmand fragrance, and beast spl, even with the latest batch. I dont think there’s a reformulation at all.
It's sad on how many fragrances that we love!! Am lucky to have all of these discontinued fragrances
I really appreciate u still bringing us this video Max, despite being under the weather! That's dedication! I am on top of it! I just hope I can hurry up & grab what I need in time, at a decent price! Feel better man!
Thanks brother - I appreciate it!
@@MaxForti i hope you feel better soon
I managed to get 200ml bottle of Absolu for 100$ from Notino last year. Also got 2x 75ml bottles of Profumo. 100ml Bleu Electrique backup bottle. 2x 100ml of Ideal Cologne and 2x 100ml of Gentleman Cologne. I think I'm good but it's still sad to hear that my fav frags are being discontinued.
Great pick ups!
Bleu Electrique you can still find it in Europe (at least a month ago) in the airport stores. One million lucky is also rumored to be discontinued too
FACTS!
Totally agree. 1 million Lucky is being discontinued, it was in Max’s Thumbnail but I am surprised he didn’t talk about it. Will see if someone going to Europe can grab me a back up Bleu Electrique, thanks for the tip. I really enjoy that fragrance

The YSL representatives say that Electriqe is not being discontinued. It’s still on their website. They actually removed other fragrances from the site that were discontinued but this one is still on the site.
Discontinued in US
Out of stock on the USA YSL site and not even listed on the YSL Beauty UK site as of this writing.
@@shave-a-thon3415 Yes it’s out of stock, but read the reviews on it. A company rep says it’s not. They removed 3 other flankers from the site. They kept that on the site out of stock.

Bleu Électrique isnt discontinued. In Germany basiclly every online seller restocked, the prices are back to normal and there a bottles with a batchcode from 2022.
It is in the us only i think
I don't think Bleu Electrique is discontinued. Apparently, they are having supply issues. It's widely available here in Europe.
As of now, stock is drying up in Germany
That Eros flame hurt, damn…
Wow, Gentleman Cologne discontinued? Such a fantastic scent. Makes me sad.
Thanks for this, I am a Prada Amber fan and I had not been able to find any over the last few months and I gave up.This vlog sparked my interest again and it is on some discounter sites again, so I stocked up, well happy. Thanks again.
Thank goodness I just got a bottle of Prada Amber Pour Homme intense 2 weeks ago. And now they’re getting rid of it. 🙏🏾
I'd love to see a reformulated fragrance made stronger why always weaker.
I know right?! That would be the day...
Unfortunately greed is now a big part of the world we live in
Cause ripping off customers to get more dough is the utlimate goal of the corporate tycoons.

Some ingredients are banned, or highly restricted the last few years, which have had and will have a huge impact on the whole industrie. A reason why for what I heared, Chanel Pour Monsieur (at least the EdT) has been out of production, or maybe even X-ed.
@@berenddevries74 Very true - ingredients scarceness and IFRA regulations play a huge role on discontinuations and reformulations...
Gentleman cologne is a great scent but an absolutely abysmal performer. Among the worst I've ever tried. It makes my Dior Homme Cologne seem like a beast mode performer.
As usual amazing review my dear friend. Best wishes to you 😀
Thanks Sergio!
Killer Video Max! As Always!!!!
Great video! I would be interested in a video with a list like this of niche fragrances.
Awesome picks
no way , just bought eros flame 6.7 oz like last month. Im glad I stocked up. Had no idea they were discontinuing it...
How do you like it? I just bought sauvage elixir and layton which is in the same spicy category as flame is so idk if i’d ever use it over those two.
Everybody was lying that profumo is discontinued, and after 1 year all shops has it. Also the seller always tell that they didnt have any interruption of stocks.
I like Eros Flame and own a small bottle, but it has a strong pepper note. If you don’t like that, stay away.
One way to tell if a frag is being discontinued is if it ends up in Drug Store chains.
It’s not always the case, but more often than not it is.
Hey Max, since you own a bottle of the original Donna Karan for Men from 1994, would you do another video on this gem but offer very, very close alternatives? Thank you!
I'm not gonna miss ADG Profumo. I bought it because of the hype and really regret it. Old man kinda smell.
Eros Flame on the other hand I really like and it gave me a great compliments.
Same. Something really unpleasant in the background of that scent that smelled funky. Not for me either.
Do you know that AdG profumo is 100% discontinued? Seem things about EU being in full production as well as reps saying that it’s still fully supported very recently
Really appreciate the video Max. Hope you trek better.
Can you add replacements for discontinued fragrances?
You forgot Armani code absolu Gold. It was expected to be discontinued being a limited release but it is now officially gone.
Was it lit tho, when it was out? I don’t remember hearing much talk about it
@@blankmandastankman One of those that people slept on. Trust me. Best in the code line so far. Compared it with profumo, absolu, le male le parfum, givenchy gentleman edp. It beats them all. Performance and smell wise it is just so pleasing and addictive. Fragrances are subjective so it may not appeal the same to everyone but i would suggest anyone to try it atleast. I liked it so much that i already got myself 2 back up bottles
before it gets expensive.
@@brijeshshukla4696 do you think it’s redundant to own if I already own AdG Code Absolu?
@@blankmandastankman I have absolu too. People said it is same and blah blah, but it is not the same. Apart from the first 2 minutes, there is nothing same about these two. Even the sweetness is different. If you are using absolu, you know it starts with just a bit of orange and vanilla. Then the rest of the fragrance is carrot seed effervescence and vanilla sweetness. Gold is strong with organce and the sweetness from tonka and benzoin. Then comes the absolutely delicious iris +tonka+benzoin which lasts till the end where some woodiness joins in. I would say absolu is more effervescent vanilla sweet whereas gold is Floral tonka benzoin sweet. In my opinion, gold is not redundant. I can wear gold to office but not absolu. Gold is much creamier and thicker than absolu in dry down so it will work on very cold days too. It is much much classier than absolu.
@@brijeshshukla4696 that’s wassup. Appreciate it 👍 💯
I bought an extra bottle of 100 ml bleu electronic, on sale, a couple of months ago, just in case. It doesn't look discontinued here in Denmark Its actually on sale again now. But stock seems limited
Why does Guerlian Ideal cool getting discontinued? First cologne now cool! What is gonna be the replacement then? I am curious about it.
Eros Flame is so much better than the rest of the line 😞 Versace really do be marketing to 18-20 year olds by sticking with the OG scent DNA instead of the far more interesting Flame.
Flame is my favorite
A triple Habit Rouge shootout would be amazing. I have the EDT, and after the astringent opening it's beautiful. I front a vampy rock band and in our livestreams I tell people that it's "what a vampire smells like".
But I still need to nose up the EDP as well as the upcoming new flanker.
How rude of me, I hope you get well soon!
Wow, Eros Flame. 😪
Time to check on (and buy) a backup bottle.
Heard Xerjoff is axing their Kemi line and restructuring them to be apart of the Xerjoff line, similar to the erba pura bottles but I’ve been told some are not returning
Hanae Mori EDP and Van Cleef & Arpels In New York, 2 great discontinued frags and I’ve got both before the price went redonkulous
i'm not sure this is acurrate about ero's flame, it's the same price in all the normal retail spots with the same supply amount.... fast forward to versace itself and the site is still selling it and has it advertised as well
I have Prada lhomme intense and blue electrieque and ideal cologne and givenchy
sadly the adg profumo has been reformulated, no magnatic cap, no chromey fontstyling on the bottle, and the longevity, well.. poor.
That's so sad! But it's true to a lot of Designer brands... As time goes by and they achieve high-selling volume status, they tend to change the formulations... At that point they might as well retire/discontinue these fragrances as they literally destroy them and our experience!
Parabéns por mais este vídeo iluminador do mundo da perfumaria!
One of the worst feelings is falling inlove with a fragrance and its getting discontinued soon.. my first heartbreak was gucci pour homme II and now it will be absolu and flame 😔. I guess thats part of the game, time to start doubling up
Yea that and reformulations 🥲
Also Prada Luna Rosa sport has been discontinued.
frustrating for sure, especially when the frags are only available for a short time. i'm looking at you ysl. :P
Great video!
I’ve heard the origional Valentino uomo is getting discontinued
I heard that too!! Way better than the newest flankers they have out!
Good thing I got both Aqva Marine and Atlantique.
Have a back up of Gentleman Cologne and Bvlgari Wood Neroli.. Which I had heard is getting the axe.
Not Profumo! I still have a quite a bit left on my current bottle but it's one of my favorites. Prive is another one I'll miss. Can't find Prive anywhere for a decent price. Guess I'll have to spray sparingly on these.
Is Profumo officially discontinued? There have been rumors since a long time but nothing concrete. Can we assume now is the time?
Hey Eduardo, the talks are that it is slowly being phased-out of the roster to make way for new releases as they re-structure their lineup of ADG's (Absolu is gone too) - I would jump on backup bottles before they get really hard to find and very expensive to get!
Profumo still regularly being stocked in retailers here in New Zealand…
@@MaxForti Armani USA offered some great 40% to 50% off codes on their entire line over the last few years and I managed to get two large bottles of Profumo (along with almost everything else Armani has released for those prices!). What upsets me is that the Emporio Armani "Stronger With You" line is completely gone from their USA site. I never had a chance to get SWY Absolutely as it was never released in the USA. For some reason, Armani Canada sold it. SWY Intensely I had to order from the UK and forget about SWY Leather. I don't know why they just couldn't import Absolutely and Leather for sale on their USA site.
"The talks". What sources? The talks been profumo has been discontinued for 6 years now. No problem getting bottles in europe. There was like a few weeks it was hard to find, but that was the result of supply chain issues. Im sick of these rumours now
Hey Max! Could you make a vid of XXX Zegna’s lineup ?. Verdigris is awesome !
I need to check those out!
Many of the names mentioned are already impossible to find. However, ADG Profumo has been rumored to be discontinued for over a year now (It was difficult to find last year due to "supply chain issues") but a quick sweep of the internet shows that Profumo is pretty easy to find.
It hasn't been discontinued, or even reformulated. Armani made slight changes to the bottle, and stopped production of the big 200 mil. That's all.
@@jameshaynes7062 really? Thank god wanna get it for my birthday
@@jameshaynes7062 that’s absolutely correct. Out of all the fragrances getting discontinued that would’ve hurt the most and fortunately that’s not the case
Have u tried finding it lately?
@@davidgrigsby977 A quick google search and found it at 4 places in 20 seconds.
Really odd Max, your vids never come up in my feed anymore. I thought you were not doing vids for a minute.
Hey John, thanks for letting me know - that's odd! YT has been having major issues when it comes to populating content, etc. Make sure you have your notification bell icon turned-on - I post NEW video(s) every week!
@@MaxForti Where does YT send notifications? They stopped sending emails a year or two ago. If I don't search for one of the many channels I subscribe to, I'll never know if a new video is out.
Bond No 9 Montauk
Bond No 9 New Haarlem
Bond No 9 I love NY for All
Bond No 9 Manhattan
Love these fragrances but I can’t stand the house for discontinuing my favorites
I know, Bond is going through a complete overhaul and axing a ton of great ones - unfortunately!
I jus hate when fragrances get discontinued I wish they could bring back every single one of them from every decade we would have over a trillion fragrances.
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Club has been completely reformulated! I smelled the new version and it’s smells nothing like a Colonia!!
Never heard of eros flame being discontinued wtf.
Also profumo is just getting a new bottle that's it
Yess you are right,,profumo is in production
This is outrageous !
Essenza and Profumo should be the only ones that should be still available in that whole line. The rest is trash. Giorgio is going downhill fast.
Is purfomo is really discontinued I’ve been shopping for only that Fragrance the last 3 days and was hoping it would go from 150 usd to at least 100 usd but now I know I gotta buy soon
Bleu Electrique is back in all stores here in Sweden so I guess it is not discontinued.
It's not in stock in YSL's official USA site. See if it's on any of YSL's European sites. If it's in their authorized stores in Sweden, see what the batch code is. If it's a year or more old, that means they haven't cooked up any new batches and are just getting rid of old stock.
Thanks alot
Yes do a niche video Max!!!!!
Huh, some of those are still easily available (full price) and quite popular in both India and Germany. Wondering if they're going to continue selling some of them in specific local markets. Especially Million Lucky is still a bestseller in India. Seems weird to ax it completely.
But good to know!
Some of these, Bleu Electrique for example is only discontinued in the US
Eros flamed is not a special fragrance I didn’t buy one and I don’t care that it’s going away. Aqua di gio Profumo is worth getting.
I really like the Eros Flame shower gel and deodorant but the cologne just didn’t quite hit that level for me (many love it and they’re not wrong, just a personal preference)
The Eros in my Nose only and the best of the line is the EDP and the Bothe Eros Showergel ! Thats it
1 million Lucky is being discontinued, it was in Max’s Thumbnail but I am surprised he didn’t talk about it. Can we get a video for good replacements for discontinued fragrances

Hello ,
I just want to ask about a perfume which was available in the nineties, I can’t remember it’s name, but I recall its package, the package had windmill with British rural home with British flag , if you have any idea about such description, please notify me
Damn i like eros flame. Hope it the prices doesn't go up
It's one thing for fragrance houses to discontinue sub-par fragrances but for the most part the fragrances that are usually discontinued are masterpieces smh
Good to know I have every last one except Givenchy because I keep hearing the performance is awful
I hate Prada Amber! I sold it quick.. Bleu Électrique sounds amazing
Agreed, Amber just smells like those decorative soaps in my grandmas bathroom.
