This week I finished a tub of QED Violetta soap and a some Panna Crema Fumo di Londra "croap". Unfortunately neither of these is made anymore. The QED had a lovely violet scent - great for summer and a decent lather with some work. The Panna Crema had an odd but I found very pleasant scent and lathered like a champ. Sorry to see these go. At least if will make room for some new ones!

It does truly suck though when you have some products that you like that get discontinued before you get some backup or even worse the dreaded reformulation [-X

Yes - room on the shelf for some new products. I'd rather see a good product fade away than suffer the humiliation of a re formulation into a shadow of its former glory.

Certainly more dignified that way, and a long lived product has added market appeal if the quality remains.
