Did you see this:
“After having been bought out by the London-based private equity firm Manzanita Funds, Diptyque founded in 1961, is starting to feel the pain. Five eaux de toilette have already been discontinued, L'Autre, Eau d'Elide, Opôné, L'Eau Trois and Virgilio…”

It's been rumored for months that all of those are discontinued, sadly! I mentioned it in my review of the recent cologne trio, but haven't reported it in a “dearly departed” post because I haven't seen anything “official” — in fact, it's so hard to find official news on what has been discontinued that I don't much bother to post on the subject at all.
I remember–I vowed to buy a bottle of Virgilio, which I haven't done. I guess I will have to crack open the piggy bank soon.
I have a goodly sized decant of Virgilio (and another of L'Eau Trois) so will ration them now. It's a shame.
