I think a good argument can be made for saying that some of the great fragrances of the past that have been reformulated should be considered as discontinued. Just recently I purchased the current version of ...
Antaeus Eau de Toilette
and
Pour Monsieur Eau de Toilette
I enjoyed both, but I can tell that they are different to what I remember them being in the 1980s and 1990s when I wore them regularly. However, we have what we have and there's no going back, so there isn't much point in discussing it.
One discontinued fragrance I'd particularly love to see return is ...
Bvlgari Black
I first purchased this when it came out in the late '90s and it was a favourite of mine for several years. Yes, OK, it has a slight rubber tyre note in the opening, but as I am a fully paid-up petrol head I do not mind that at all. Thankfully, I still have a bottle from about 17 years ago that's about 30% full and I use it sparingly.
Some others from the 1980s that I'd like to experience again are ...
Nino Cerruti pour Homme Eau de Toilette
^ I first bought this in around 1984 and I remember not liking it much. As I suspect my taste has changed a bit over the years, I wonder if I'd prefer it now.
Xeryus After Shave
In the latter part of the 1980s I loved this ^ aftershave.
