    Given that they had no distribution to speak of, it is not surprising that their supplier decided to close the account (or at least, it looks like this is what has happened). It was a pretty perfume.

    It is too bad, when most of what comes out this year won't be nearly as good :-(

    Glad I stocked up on 2 bottles at Sephora in Paris! I figured it was on its way out, only a few dusty bottles on the shelves and only at the main Champs Elysees shop (none to be had at the other Sephora stores in Paris) 2 years ago.

    Ah, lucky you!

    And wondering for the zillionth time why there isn't a “niche” Sephora in the US like the big one in Paris.

    What a shame! If I had known, I'd have had a bottle shipped to the States.

    I am truly lamenting this news, R. Bui is one of my top five all time favorite HG scents. And I only have one bottle and a small decant. *panics* I am going to be stalking the bottles on eBay. I guess there's no way to know if the new scent that B. Bui releases will be the same as this one? *cries*

    Oh, I am so sorry — it is terrible to lose a beloved perfume. Do put an automatic search in ebay so you'll know right away when some comes up, and sorry to say that it strikes me as highly unlikely that she'll do the same scent again.
