Not sure if this is relevant, but I believe it's the Air di Gioia that's discontinued, though I don't know exactly when it was discontinued. I wanted to get that fragrance but couldn't find it and ended up getting Ocean instead. I love it and Acqua so I wanted to add Air to the set.

I recently discovered that I can get expensive perfumes from Harrods in the UK (of course this one isn’t that expensive, but other Armanis are!) Even with the shipping being $30 or something, they’re often STILL cheaper than US retail, even after the high shipping. Example: Rouge. Malachite in smaller bottles, which can be hard to find in the US! Thought I would share. 👍💜 (The Chanel Exclusifs are a good example. Not the regular lineup.) Someone explained why, in very specific economic terms, but I can’t recite it. Something about difficulty with conversion rates.

It's so interesting what puts us off of a once beloved fragrance. Ocean di Gioia was my big love until I had a surgery last autumn and I was silly enough to spray it on my jumper before I went to the hospital. Though the surgery went fine, after I woke up, the scent that just hit me lying in my bed was Ocean di Gioia (my jumper was in the cupboard but I still could smell it). Since then I've been simply unable to spray that fragrance on me as it brings back that memory instantly when I felt weak and fragile and still a bit dumbed by anesthesia. Sorry if this story is a bit off but I wanted to share it with you and others here.

At the point I decided it was time to learn more about fragrances in general and what a year it has been. I've turned in to quite the Byredo and Parfums de Marly fan this past year. But I want to continue to learn more. What is old to you may not be old to us newbies!

You know, I buy bottles I true love…but then I get tired of them about 10ml in. Now, I have to go through the trouble of trying to sell them. I think honorable mentions are great, with a warning about possibly hard to find/discontinued (or even if you just said MIGHT be discontinued.) Since scent is so subjective and I trust your reviews, I would like to price it, or add an alert for old stock when it becomes available, which happens frequently. Then, I at least have a choice, or I might even be able to get an open box-swap somewhere. Thank you for your great content! ❤❤❤

It is. And there are two formulations! The original has a bunch of men's names (Kate Walsh's exes) printed on the bottle. The reformulation is just a clear bottle with the name "Boyfriend" printed on it. Best to seek out the original if you're really interested. I just have a small travel spray (per the seller it's the original, supposedly) and it is a sexy fragrance. I would get a bottle if I lived in a cooler climate, but in hot and humid FL there is just rarely a good time to wear it. I will still cherish what I have though. I recommend it's worth trying 😊

The most recent releases however say Azzaro and these are the ones that have been significantly reformulated
