What do reviewers say about Le Feu d'Issey and Etra?
Most people encounter it once and immediately know where they stand. That anise opening is not subtle. But underneath the star and the spice sits something warm, milk and caramel and vanilla.Le Feu d'Issey
The milk note is the deciding factor. It takes what could be another warm spice fragrance and makes it feel closer, almost skin-adjacent. Ceylonese cinnamon keeps it from going too soft.Etra
