Looking for your Discontinued Perfume? What if you can’t?
Perfumes are part of our lives. For most people who want to create their own signature style, they spend much time choosing for the right perfume. However, choosing the right perfume that would suit you is not easy. It is not just something that you can grab off the rack spray it on your pulse points and voila! You will have a perfume. It’s a difficult world out here and it isn’t as easy as that. Wearing a perfume is also like wearing clothes. The clothes that we wear have to complement the skin color, the height, the shape of the body and other contributing factors that would make the person look good. Choosing the right perfume has to be the same with wearing the right clothes. The rule on trial and error still applies when choosing a perfume although it might sound stressful it you haven’t found one that suits you. Considering the season when to use the perfume is a good start when looking for one.
However, the dilemma comes when the perfume that you have grown using has become a discontinued perfume. Usually a perfume becomes a discontinued perfume when the manufacturer stops producing the scent which is the worst scenario you can ever imagine or when suppliers stop selling it locally and the only thing to do to get hold of your favorite perfume again is to import it. Some people would even tighten their belts to get hold of their favorite perfume even when they have to pay through the nose for it. Some go surfing on the net hoping that they can find their discontinued perfumes on sale. Some jump from one store to the other looking for the scent that might match their old perfume. If none of these methods worked, you might try joining forums and community on beauty tips. People who are into beauty products and tips surely have ideas on where to find your favorite perfume. You might try writing the manufacturer if they still the scent of your perfumes. These manufacturers usually have inventory sale from time to time. It sounds desperate but if you are serious about it, you would give it a go.
Losing your favorite perfume is indeed devastating but looking for the discontinued perfume you have learned to love could be devastating for your pockets. Another option to consider though is how much that scent spells that “you” in you. If your answer is not 100%, then you’d better start looking for an alternative. Finding the perfume oils patterned from your favorite scent that would keep the memories of your days with your perfume intact at a cheaper price. It is of course hard to let go of the things you have learned to love and treasure but moving on would also give you more reasons to appreciate the world. Making the most out of something you don’t have anymore would be an achievement.
