I was just on Puig's website, and I couldn't find Agua Lavanda anywhere on it. Does anyone know if Puig has discontinued this classic?

I sure hope not. This is my favorite pure lavender scent. I wear this every day when i get home from work. It would be terrible if this were dc'd.

Well, Shamu, I have ordered Agua Lavanda from 4 different companies over the past year, all of whom claimed to have it in stock. Every one of my orders has been refunded with the statement that "this item is no longer available." I gave up after my last order in April of this year. SeaSM may be able to find it for you somewhere in the Bronx, but as far as new imported stock, it doesn't seem likely. If someone out there has a definitive answer regarding the current production/availability of Agua Lavanda by Antonio Puig, by all means, chime in!!!!!

I managed to get a bottle from FragranceX in the middle of October last year, but it seems it is not available there now. Hopefully it is just temporarily sold out, I'll be very sad if this is really discontinued.

Eaaaaasy, hold on the panic, Shamu! (a literal translation of a usual say in River Plate Spanish)...

It is easily avalable all over Spain. The point is that Puig is making more money through designer's scents, but Agua Lavanda is a classic, as well as Heno de Pravia, so they keep on producing it.

I hope you're right Pollux. Problem is, Heno de Pravia is still on Puig's website, but I couldn't find AL anywhere.

I agree on the classic status for sure. Do fragrances get any more classic than this? No way.

I just ordered a few minutes ago one of those big plastic 25 oz. jugs from giftshoppingzone.com for only $10.84. I also bought one of those 3-paks of the Agua Lavanda soaps for like $7. How awesome is that?

I'm praying I don't get notice that it's out of stock. I kept my empty green glass bottle, so I think I'll just pour the cologne from the plastic one into the glass one.

You posted what I've been wondering for a while now.
Not too long ago I was going over the Puig site and then emailed them wondering what happened to Agua Lavanda, never responded.
Same with Sonia Rykiel, can't find info on their website about their line of scents.

I didn't think that a mass market scent with such popularity would disappear.

I saw lots of bottles in a perfume store some months ago. I guess it's not discontinued.
