Discontinued
A fragrance that a house has stopped producing or withdrawn from its range. Remaining retail stock and availability can differ from the maker’s current range.
A discontinued fragrance has been withdrawn from a house’s range or is no longer being produced. Existing stock can still be listed by retailers. A sold-out page, by itself, tells you about availability rather than the production status of the perfume.
Look for the maker’s statement when you want to check a rumour. Escentric Molecules, for example, says in its FAQ that The Beautiful Mind series is no longer available to purchase. That establishes what the brand says about availability; it does not specify a cause or promise what other shops hold.
