l'Artisan Tea for Two is back for Europeans:

http://www.artisanparfumeur.com/shop...e-1019208.html

If you go to that site and select the EU flag or the UK flag, it'll show it as in stock and you can order it. Hopefully it's not a mistake.

I had no idea it had gone anywhere it's still sold by many European websites. Did it just go out of stock on LAP's site?

If I find a site that ships to the US I'll update this post.

Yep, it's been officially discontinued in the US for almost a year. Up till around 6 months ago, it was accessible on grey market sites. Now it seems to be overall pretty difficult to find. I was fortunate to nab a bottle early last year from the l'Artisan website, when they had the 50% off sale.

My mind boggles in my experience it's the most popular of their fragrances at least with the people I know and meet.

I was in the L'artisan boutique in Covent Garden in London on Tuesday. They were down to their last bottle and said they wouldn't be getting any more as it had been discontinued.

I have no idea why it would have been discontinued in the first place - a gem among their other dismal offerings

You can still have it shipped to the US. When you click UK, it says it's valid for shipping to any country.

It's out of stock for U.S. folks, but I still see it in stock for UK and EU people. I was able to add it to my basket.

It was listed as in stock when they ran a sale a few months ago but cancelled the orders. I really hope its back in production!

As others have said, it boggles my mind that Tea for Two is discontinued while several, in my opinion, lackluster scents are still produced. In fact, if you look at their top 10, only Timbuktu and Mechant Loup really stand out to me and neither is something I can live without. It really is surprising that Tea for Two wasn't more popular as everyone I have ever given a sample to or has smelled it on me has remarked that it is quite good.

Top 10
Mûre et Musc
La Chasse Aux Papillons
Premier Figuier
Timbuktu
Fou d'Absinthe
L'Eau d'Ambre
Batucada
Nuit de Tubéreuse
Traversée du Bosphore
Méchant Loup

Tea For Two was officially discontinued in the UK and Europe, appearing in Brandalley, TKMaxx and other discount sites at less than half price for over a year. Then QVCUK (shopping channel), started selling it at full price again.

I am wondering has it been reformulated and released again(quietly of course, no fan fares)?

^ Oh joy. Exactly what we needed. Maybe it'll come out smelling like a bag of Liptons.
