Just getting around to watching that video. Alleged discontinuations include:
  • Balade Sauvage
  • Feve Delicieuse
  • The Cachemire
  • Spice Blend
  • Holy Peony
  • Rose Kabuki
  • Rose Gipsy
  • Happy Hour
  • New Look 1947
  • Leather Oud
  • Mitzah
  • Eau Noire
From the Dior website, it also looks like the following are dead or soon to be dead:
  • Souffle de Soie
  • Belle du Jour
  • Grand Bal
  • Patchouli Imperial
I'd also bet on Oud Rosewood and Purple Oud getting the axe.
Granville, Cuir Cannage and Leather oud have been removed from European Dior website too

It's sad indeed but on the other hand, there are only two that I'm still interested in – Balade Sauvage and Patchouli Imperial (I already have Mitzah and Eau Noire). It's strange that my favourite, Eau Noire, is getting axed – it's been what, a year since it got reformulated and recoloured by FK?

I don't think that the "yellow" Eau Noire will be discontinued soon, I guess he's talking about the old green Eau Noire

Yes, I went to buy Cuir Cannage last month from the UK site and gone. I emailed Dior and got the reply it was no longer available. I have also read that that Bois d'Argent would be discontinued?

On the USA site, Bois d'Argent is labelled "#bestseller" and is available in the 40ML, 125ML, and 250ML sizes. To me that makes it seem less likely that it will be discontinued.

I'd guess that the fragrances that move a lot of units are: Oud Ispahan, Ambre Nuit, Bois d'Argent, Tobacolor, Vanilla Diorama, and perhaps Gris Dior - since they are now marketing it so aggressively. I have heard anecdotally that Lucky is very popular in East Asia.

Thank you for listing them for us, I saw that the video was 20 minutes long and noped out of there.

Very sad about the discontinuation of Leather Oud, it was the only one I loved enough to buy.

I think it will be, as the new Eau Noire was released as a #limitededition.

It makes sense to me. Eau Noire was a Paris exclusive for so long, because it didn't sell. I don't believe this new one sold that well either.

Looks right to me too. Batch code translates as Feb. 2023.

Where's this photo/ bottle from?

I tried this at Saks yesterday. A well done fresh green floral, present but understated. The rose is hard to discern, in fact I didn't think of rose before looking at the notes. The vibe is of spring and early summer, very well blended, though some (the typical Basenoter) might find it a bit unexciting. Leans more femme, and more formal / dressy than casual.
