What do reviewers say about A Drop d'Issey and Blue Sparkle?
This one plays it safe. The almond milk and vanillin give it a comfort-food quality that reads innocent, while the star anise and ambroxan add just enough complexity to keep it interesting.A Drop d'Issey
Youthful and joyful, with that slightly aquatic synthetic edge that some find refreshing and others find too much. The 4-6 hour longevity means reapplying after lunch on a long day.Blue Sparkle
