On the surface that's seemingly a good thing. Who doesn't love new and exciting merchandise to look forward to? We sure do! However, if you've found and fallen in love with one thing in particular that they no longer sell, it's a bit more bleak. It's even worse if you didn't know that product was discontinued and you can no longer find it. (Looking at you, PacSun and your Lilu and Nollie perfumes.)
Plenty of people have taken to reselling their items online, especially if there's a market for it. Below are lists provided by Phillips of her favorite sites to search for retired fragrances, and provided tips on what to look out for while you're shopping. This should be a fun experience, not something that you'll end up regretting! Paying close attention to detail will definitely work in your favor.
