I Hate That

[ithildin]

You just discover a product you really like, and when you got to buy more, find out it's been discontinued! Last year, at Bath & Body works, I bought a shower gel form a new line they were carrying, Aquatanica Spa. I really liked it it -- it had a fresh oceany sorta scent, made with seaweed and other sea type ingredients. I went to the website, and they've discontinued it! The bottle said it was a line from France, but it looks like it was actually made by B&B W since I can't find it anywhere else but on Ebay. I'm bummed. My favourite showergel by Aveda (sage and cedar), which I'd used for years, was discontinued last year, and this was what I'd replaced it with. To add insult to injury, the B&B site recommended I try instead one of their other lines, which they claim is similar, but it's almond scented! Bleah! Almonds do not smell like the ocean where I come from.

Yeah, the only fragrance I like to wear is 4711 cologne and it is very hard to find.
It used to be available in England but last time my daughter asked she sent the shop assistant into nostalgia dream land as it is the stuff her Granny used to wear. My one stockist in France only gets two small shipments a year for the octogenarians I guess . I`ll just have to arm myself with a zimmer frame and beat them to it.

A friend of mine keeps buying me that -- I used to wear it in high school. It's not hard to get in the US, since Proctor & Gamble used to own the company, before selling it back to a German firm. Amazon.de (Germany) carries it, if that's any help.
