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.
In chess, a gambit is a strategic move where a player sacrifices a piece to gain advantage and, eventually, take control of the board. In Rose Gambit, the conventional prettiness of a rose is given up in order to achieve something more ambitious — a fragrance charged with electricity, strong and precise like the ticking of a mechanical clock in a chess game.
A woody rose to checkmate your expectations, deviously played by Stéphanie Bakouche.
‘Rose Gambit, a perfume meant to evoke the legendary chess tournaments of the past, had to be very contrasting. What better contrast could one look for than that of the white and black squares? I didn’t want to classically interpret the white color with aldehydes and went for an almond milk accord instead. Fresh and delicious, its creaminess, slightly disturbed by the presence of a bitter, liquorous chamomile, leads you to a dark rose in the heart of Rose Gambit and keeps on going until the very end — in perfect harmony with the tobacco notes in the drydown. These latter ones include liatrix absolute, a raw material full of coumarin — dry, evocative of hay, tobacco and… almonds. Now, the circle is complete,’ — Stéphanie Bakouche.
