Discontinued. Such a sad word. And even sadder when you find it's happening to something that's your favorite. This time around, it's my all time favorite scent from Bath and Body Works. Velvet Tuberose. The store's having a huge sale, and as I wandered about looking for a fabulous deal on my fave smell, I couldn't find it anywhere. So I inquired. And then the cruel response that made my heart sink: "It's been discontinued." I actually said "well, crap" back to the sales girl. I'm so disappointed!! I have the lotion, the body wash, the bubble bath, the anti bacterial gel, the body spray and now even the perfume. It's my scent. The smell that lingers when I leave a room, that makes you think of me when I'm not around. It's the scent that soothes me, takes me to a happy place and tugs this little spot inside that makes me think of childhood memories. I can't quite place what it reminds me of, but I always get that cozy feeling of remembering being a kid. And now, it's going away. WHY?? Why do "they" come out with things that people get attached to, then snatch them away? It happened with my favorite eye shadow. I had to search down an alternative that to this day, does not quite give the same effect. It happened with my first favorite smell of Freesia, which left me floundering about until Velvet Tuberose hit the scene. I mean, I realize there are worse fates in the world than having to find a new scent, but it's just not fair. *sigh* Let the search begin...
