Let’s be real: anything outside the likes of Sauvage, BDC, Eros, Y etc, will always face potential discontinuation. Your average person will have about one or two fragrances in their collection anyway. It’s less likely they’ll be spending on building a collection with variety. Strong, mass appealing, safe scents will always outlive these lesser known fragrances - as nice as they may smell.
I work at a major retailer in the US, and today noticed 2 things. Wanted by Night was removed from our website, and priced at $50 in-store. I think that shows a discontinuation coming. On the bright side, Prad Lhomme Leau was in stock, and it was re-added to the website for the first time in over a year, maybe showing some fight from the Lhomme line.
The YSL Kouros one mystifies me. It’s been around for decades and can’t see anybody still buying it so why hasn’t it been discontinued already. I have an original bottle and no desire to stock up but I might now? Too animalic to wear nowadays though. Love your videos Ashton!
In stores here in Germany I can still see not only Prada L'Homme Intense, but also Prada Amber pour Homme. Only at retail prices, of course. Oh man and @ 17:10, every time I am reminded that Mugler Cologne got discontinued, a subterranean volcano of anger in me starts bubbling up just like what's happening in Iceland now. PS. Hoping for a Terre de Hermes Elixir
Ultimately companies care sbout profit, if a fragance sells well it will survive. Regarding SWY Intensely and Absolutely, they were officially discontinued, at least according to the Armani store
I really hope that they don't discontinue profondo...😱😔 I mean there's quite a few of them in this list that I hope that doesn't happen with and my scent the day is Issey miyaki noir ambre
Gentlemen Boisee is my most complimented fragrance and one of the few that I could easily wear every day. It's very well balanced. It's going to sting if that one gets axed. It has the right amount of iris to me whereas the EDP is on the thick side. A waft of iris with a rich peppery wood underneath it that has gotten several "wow" reactions.
Kouros I think is safe - absolutely no promotional or marketing dollars required, and propped up by a moderate group of older gentleman who will continue to buy it
True. These companies have entered a time period where they could not care less about consumer happiness. They will axe your favorite fragrance without thinking twice about it. In previous years, things were much more stable. Now, they release way too many scents, throw them all at the wall, and see what sticks.
@@truthteller4442 When it comes down to profits versus even rep, they will burn down the house if the insurance is worth more than the house. *cough Creed, Loreal + Muegler cough*
Love MFK's work and hope he does great things at Dior. Having said that, if DHP gets changed up, I'll be even happier with my decision to grab a backup bottle of it. 🙂 It's my favorite designer fragrance ever.
@@saulgoodmanandriese8658 it’s fresher and less floral than Lhomme EDT. Still has the soapy iris but it feels more masculine than unisex leaning masculine
Ash, I have all the fragrances in the Prada L'homme line and I love them all. L'homme L'Eau & Water Splash do have similarities, but they are not the same. I don't find them redundant. Love em.
L'homme intense was supposed to have been discontinued 2 years ago so I bought 4 bottles.A year after you couldn't find it anywhere not even on their Web site but the last 12 months it's seemed to have popped up again but not many places maybe old stock....I'm on the hunt for L'homme Eau De etc but only seem to find it in 50mL
regarding azzaro the licence changed from clarins to loreal clarins had alot of stock so sent it out to discounters loreal decided to bin it due to poor sales
Next year I'm gonna stop shopping for designer fragrances and I'm gonna start buying from lesser known fragrance houses like Tumi, Commodity, Joseph Abboud, Room 1015, basically I don't want what everyone else is buying, I want unique fragrances that aren't mainstream.
Maybe before they axe Dior Homme Parfum, maybe they’ll open it up to the Western Market for a year before axing it forever. I know I would love to get it before disappearing forever.
I can see 'Profondo' being rebranded as 'Deep', Deep Blue' 'Ocean', 'Marine' or something like this 😉 (edit just to continue the trend since L'Oreal took over production - Profumo became Parfum).
I agree, but in regards to Profumo, I believe they removed the incense note. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. So if they did, it’s not the true Profumo anymore.
I sincerely hope that at least one brand does not adopt the forsaken "edt, edp, p" system. Dior Homme line managed to be both original and simple with its naming, I want more of that.
Hey Ash... Would be very disappointed it the swy intensely and absolutely got discontinued. Two of my favourite winter fragrances... Profondo is part of my collection and I wear it regularly but not a standout fragrance either... Prada L'Homme I'm surprised that's been mentioned.. but I guess with all the other brands doing similar scents and it's an older line . It's not at the forefront. Bring on 2024... I need a new ADG for the collection 😅😅😂🎉
Yeah the end was near for Profondo. When Parfum replaced Profumo and when I snelled the EDP and it had a similar opining to Profondo. It was inevitable.
Kurkdjian has started off hot already with the J’Adore L’Or powerhouse remake , I can’t wait to see what he does for men. I got excited about the baccarat Sauvage but quickly deflated when I realized it’s just a new bottle. Also do you think maybe DHP doesn’t sell well because it’s not available here in North America ? I’d like to see DHP , Bleu Électrique and Luminous Night make a reappearance and see if their second tour does better since they pulled the plug on those too soon
I think with Profondo Armani will do the same with what they did with Profumo, relaunch it again, just a different bottle (maybe Blue gradient) and new name (maybe Ocean Parfum or something like that) and a similar smell just weaker…
You can't beat the original Terre D Hermes. Together with Born In Roma Intense it's the only fragrance with a vetiver note I enjoy. The rest (that I have smelled) are too sharp. Almost as sharp as cypress, which I don't like as well.
Bad boy le parfum is officially discontinued. Macy's no longer carries it. The worker told me too many ppl would return it becuase the opening on the paper wouldn't match after they wore it on their skin for a while. Claimed it didn't leave the best scent for some when mixing with their skin/sweat molecules
The Problem with both Armani SWY and Prada l’homme is and always has been is RETAIL availability in the US. If they do discontinue them due to lack of sales it’s their own fault. I live in a fairly prominent city, and those two lines have NEVER been available at ANY retail stores in my area period.
Wanted by Night is gone IMO (I'm in France, haven't seen it around much, on a side note I still see Dior Homme Parfum in stores, at least quite recently).
My local Macy’s (MN) stocked an entire case of Wanted By Night onto their shelves, it looked like over 20 boxes and that was about 2-3 weeks ago. I was shocked, it’s not even a part of their current wanted display with the 4 new/current types.
I have a 50ml of Dior Homme 2020 with a 100ml bottle on the way not due to fears of discontinuation but just to have more juice as I thoroughly enjoy this scent.
Wanted by night is already gone in Australia, unless you want to pay $180 AUD and even then it is hard to find. EDIT: Stronger with you intensely is also gone.
Some Chemist Warehouses have Wanted by Night, I grabbed one for $90 a couple of months ago. I also saw some at my local Myer on Black Friday, didn’t check the price though.

That Versace Oud Noire is top notch... buying back up bottles now
pretty sure its not discontinued since I see it everywhere at least in the uk that is
It would break my heart if they discontinued DHI completely

Smells like a clean public bathroom
I’ll forever say that Mr. Burberry Indigo is a heavily slept on spicy fresh fragrance. Hard to find nowadays
The message is get whatever ESSENTIAL frags you think you NEED now. Or, deal with regret, remorse, and resentment later. Facts.

What has FK possibly done at Dior besides launching an existing fragrance for 7000$? Just asking
Profound lights stated that it was a limited edition, to be fair
when prada lhomme gets discontinued i'll quit fragrances
Yeah I'll have to get a backup bottle of that. It's amazing.
@@Cinemahguyme too man
A similar style fragrance you should try is Armani Code Parfum
@@Bxrlito97can you describe it?

regarding azzaro
the licence changed from clarins to loreal
clarins had alot of stock so sent it out to discounters
loreal decided to bin it due to poor sales
I don't really want Francis Kurdjian to just tweak the current Dior fragrances. I want to see some new creations 😊
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Nooooo Not King Kouros !!! 😢 i have a 100Ml bottle back up but Noooo
Next year I'm gonna stop shopping for designer fragrances and I'm gonna start buying from lesser known fragrance houses like Tumi, Commodity, Joseph Abboud, Room 1015, basically I don't want what everyone else is buying, I want unique fragrances that aren't mainstream.
can’t believe acqua di gio profumo got discontinued…
Just got EDP Boisee. I prefer it to the RP version, so I wouldn't like to see it go.
Stronger with you intensely and absolutely, harder to find lately
I hate to say that but Stronger with you intensly and absolutely have already been discontinued.
Maybe before they axe Dior Homme Parfum, maybe they’ll open it up to the Western Market for a year before axing it forever. I know I would love to get it before disappearing forever.
I got three bottles for just this reason. Crazy, I know. But you never know. Stranger things have happened.
CH 212 Men NYC ... Gut feeling after seeing prices recently.

Sad to say Wanted by night will be discontinued They are pushing the last two flakers hard
You mean the two Most Wanteds? They are so awesome.
Not Profundo! My first love!
Yeah the end was near for Profondo. When Parfum replaced Profumo and when I snelled the EDP and it had a similar opining to Profondo. It was inevitable.

@@southbronxboy That fragbuy anniversary sale, 50ml. The 100ml is still around 70.
swy intensely has been on back order for me for 8 weeks and the warehouse emailed me saying it might be getting discontinued
Profondo is my favorite fiancé got it for me
My soul left me when they discontinued Absolu
I love Profondo. It could be stronger but I hope they don't completely get rid of it.
Any brand owned by L'Oreal is subject to unpopular discontinuation. They killed my beloved Armani Attitude which still hurts!
I'd take Mr Burberry over Hero anytime, Hero to me, smells like Double Bubble bubble gum with the chalky film
Is there any company’s that do a Christmas or new years advent calendar, and if so is there any you think would be a nice try to get?

--- do you ever review any DS & Durga?? You should check 'em out
Does luckyscents ship to Norway?
speaking of the D&G the one, the edp is impossible to find ANYWHERE in ontario in the last year
Sadly, I can also see Eros Flame being gone. The best in the line btw, would be a shame.
Got two bottles. Hard to find and get at discount prices now.
Expect Eros line might get reformulated and go same way, inevitably, also.
Sad, it’s just now being appreciated by the community. Wish that appreciation would translate to sales though.
Kourous, Noooooooooo.....
what happened to prada l homme intense
Yuuuhuu , I made the list, even with my name being butchered. Cheers Ash.
Just bought wanted by night back up bottle at Macys .. was $50 on the Pres day sale for 100ml!
If DH2020 gets axed, I'm buying 5 150 ML's no lie.
I have a 50ml of Dior Homme 2020 with a 100ml bottle on the way not due to fears of discontinuation but just to have more juice as I thoroughly enjoy this scent.
it's incredible for sure.@@MuzikM_85
Is profondo lights discontinued already? I can’t tell
Old news. Yes.
Not 1st
When even clones dupes twists prices go up and availability of them, also, become scarce to none you know you have a REAL PROBLEM.
Chances of YSL Y EDP getting discontinued ???
... its one of the bestselling fragrances right now. not high use your head a little
Mugler Cologne is exactly the same as Mugler Come together so wipe away those tears.
Long live king kouros 👍👍👍
How would you like if they discontinued drakkar noir ' king kouros would never ever will be discontinued ' this will end the fragrance community 😳
Azzaro wanted by night still available at Macy's 100ml $50
I still don't understand why Gucci kills this best men fragrance Gucci Envy, Gucci Pour Homme 1, Gucci Pour Homme 2, HUGE MISTAKE!

Hi Ash! Love your shirt! Where did you get it please?
Wanted by night is already gone in Australia, unless you want to pay $180 AUD and even then it is hard to find.

What Also was discontinued was your wife blouses.... you don't longer wear them.
Lol wut? 😂

Dior Homme 2020 was such a disappointment.
Hey you said 12 and I counted 11 you forgot one
I wish anything with Oud got discontinued. I wish Oud fragrances were cancelled all together. What a horrible scent 😅
