Why is Fame discontinued and what is an alternative?

[Bambino 24,104]

I just found out that Fame perfume is discontinued and I looked it up on Ebay and it's available but for insane prices wtf.

Why is it discontinued and what's the closest scent to it? I either need it or need a very, very close alternative. Help

I guess the manufacture contract was for x long and after that it was discontinued because Gaga decided to focus on much more profitable makeup instead.

Black Opium by YSL smells similar to me.

I recommend you to watch the "Fall and Rise of Haus Labs" video on YouTube for more insights.

I’m devastated they stopped making it too I ran out and can not fathom spending that much on half used bottles on eBay 

 

Gaga please bring it back ❤️

I bought like three 100ml bottles two years ago in one of the stores that used to sell it 'cause they forgot to put it for sale

My friend said that she found a clone of it, I'll ask her

There's a perfumery in Poland making fragrances inspired by popular ones, they have Fame too. It smells just the same, and lasts the whole day, also a 100ml bottle costs ~15$, the only thing is that it isn't black. Otherwise, I can't tell any difference. I'm so happy I can smell it again after all those years!

I was honestly surprised they stopped selling it, the bottle was distinctive, it smelled amazing and I thought it could have been a timeless fragrance whether you’re a Gaga fan or not

Really? Imo these two smell nothing alike.

There is a dupe called 'Lady Diamond' made by polish perfume makers La Rive, but they probably don't sell outside of Europe? Another alternative to Fame could be 'Lady Million' by Paco Rabanne, which at least to me has a very similar scent profile.

Also, Black Opium is nothing like Fame. But everyone perceives fragrances in their own way, so do try!

This is a decent dupe but it is not exact. Fame changes smell throughout the day but this one does not unfortunately. Still I've bought like 6 bottles over the last 2 years since it's close enough for me. They have it in a hand cream and a diffuser oil as well. They do have some sales every so often so you can wait for one of those to try it

Didn’t Gaga say she didn’t want to do perfumes?

 

EDIT: Eau de Gaga ate Fame imo

“Vibranium Strong” by T’Challa is a good alternative to the bottle.
