Of the fougères we've already produced, only Beaudelaire will ever return. Fougères Imperiale and Aromatique are permanently discontinued.

Off to the BST's it is!

Maybe you have answered this before, if so disregard. What influences you when making a decision to discontinue a certain scent?

Thanks!

If people don't buy it, out it goes (we're generally more willing to discontinue things that most manufacturers as a result of our attempts to keep the catalog as trim as possible). If we bring it back and sit with it (as we did with the fougères), out it goes. If I feel that it should be limited in order to keep it special, then we make one batch and then that's it.

Cool, thanks!

Will, have you considered posting an archive of the soaps B&M has produced since inception? I think it would be interesting to see a list including the description. I just saw a B&M soap on the SOTD thread that I hadn't seen before and which I don't have - Caledonia Rose. When was that one produces and what was it like? I assume it had some rose in it but I'm curious about the rest. I think an archive would also be useful to people who are new either to TWS or to the wonders of B&M soap and are active in the aftermarket in pre-owned soaps. Like trading cards, got em, got em, need em....
Not trying to create more work for you but I assume this information exists in some form already.
Thanks,

There's a partial list on reddit. I have the link bookmarked but will have to post it later today. If Will has one that would be even better.

Yes, but that would require a tremendous investment of time and effort, neither of which I can spare right now.

I believe that this is the post of which you speak

I consider the B&M Release Schedule my shopping list for the year.
