A Story About Discontinued Perfumes
So, my friend Jena a couple of days ago was sad and came to visit me with a bad news.
“How could they do this to me!? Since I was 14 years old I’ve always worn the same perfume: ‘Burberry week end’. I love it. I love its strong lasting fragrance. Furthermore, it was not the typical fashion-victim kind of perfume, I’ve never knew anyone that used to wear it. To make a long story short, yesterday I went to my regular perfume store to buy it and the girl at the counter said -Sorry, but Burberry week end has been discontinued- I couldn’t believe it, Burberry week-end is a discontinued perfume?? How could they do THAT?“
She was really sad and upset at the same time, so we called a friend of mine, Tyra, that works in a perfume shop out of town to see if she could find some bottles or if she knew some other store that could have some in stock. Because of my passion for perfumes and for discontinued perfumes in particular I happen to know lots of people that work in the perfume business. Jena was willing to buy as much Burberry week-end bottles as she could find.
We were very surprised by the answer of Tyra:
“HA! Burberry week-end is not discontinued. It is a must and it’s impossible that they discontinued it! You know what some shops owners do? Imagine they don’t want a brand in particular anymore, or they don’t come to an agreement with the brand or they don’t make too much profit with a perfume. Well, they tell their employees to tell the customers it is a discontinued perfume! Some times they do it also if they temporarily don’t have the perfume you want. Sorry, discontinued. Buy another one. Pretty smart, uh? You buy something else, you don’t go looking for discontinued perfumes in some other store…”. Thanks Tyra, you saved us!
What can we learn from this story? Never never ever give up on finding a perfume if you’re not 100% sure it’s been discontinued and you can’t find it anywhere.
I think you will find useful what happened to Jena and me.
By the way, two days later Jena bought a bottle of Burberry week-end in a shop two blocks away form where she “used to buy” perfumes every month. The guy at the counter laughed at us when we asked him if Burberry week-end was going to be discontinued…
You can also buy Burberry Weekend in our new perfumes store.

Tell jena to find a Perfumania store, we have lots of Burberry Weekend on our shelves. I find that Macy’s, Younkers etc are in the habit of telling customers that a fragrance is discontinued, when in fact, the fragrance is no longer carried in their stores simply because the customer’s are no longer willing to pay the huge price tags these stores charge.
Exactly like that Kay,
It’s good we found that out!

They specialize in RARE and Hard-to-Find fragrances, and they really have a bunch
of hard to find perfumes. I found my long lost
fragrance from them, very happy.
