As I said, I would try an automatic search there. Set it for a year and hope

You might also want to check the swap boards at MakeupAlley & Basenotes, although that is a long shot.

Can't really think of anyplace else that would have a discontinued L'Occitane, sorry!

Hi, Actually I did try eBay, and found startlingly few results, but I'll keep checking there… Any other ideas? I had hoped someone from this blog would reply and say they'd bought some and still had it! Are there any places that deal in discontinued fragrances? Thanks!

Your best bet with anything discontinued is to add an automatic search in ebay….things have a way of popping up there long after they have been taken off the shelves. Good luck!

Hello, I hope you're still out there, as I'm responding to quite an old post! I absolutely LOVE the L'Occitane Linden and the Linden Honeysuckle, and have used up what I had(If I knew it was going to be discontinued, I would've bought a bunch of both!)… I'm hoping you or someone can tell me where I might find some? Anyone? Please help! Thanks, Mel

If it is really over trademark issues with the name “extrait de Songes”, it is completely shocking. Don't they check first?

Ah, now see, from the very little I had read I thought he created it for Lord Blessington…didn't realize he married the daughter and was having affairs with BOTH of the parents? I am going to have to read the biography.

Agree, there is no way to verify all these claims to celebrity connections and it is best to take it all with a grain of salt.

Yes Robin, I have also read about Alfred creating Etiquette Bleu for Lady Blessington on the web and also in literature from Parfums d'Orsay themselves. The funny thing is that Alfred was also having an affair with Lord Blessington too!!!

I suppose this claim is similar to the many claims that Creed make. They claim that many of their scents were created for many (deceased) personalties. There is nobody around to prove them wrong because all the people who they are using to sell their scents, are all dead. The same thing applies to d'Orsay. He didn't have any children and no heirs so..who knows???

No worries on my end! I did read that he created this “Eau de Bouquet” for his lover, and javaslublu lists him as the “nose” for that fragrance, but it would not be the first time I read something misleading or incorrect online.

Qwendy, the National Portrait Gallery in London has some wonderful pictures of Alfred d'Orsay. Copies can be ordered over the internet on their website. Just type in 'alfred count d'orsay'. I actually got the print of the picture on the cover of Last of the Dandies from the NPG.
