What do reviewers say about A Drop d'Issey and French Lilac?
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
Some people want a fragrance to perform. Others just want to smell like the thing they love most. French Lilac is for the second kind. It's lilac without apology, not an interpretation.French Lilac
