What do reviewers say about Le Feu d'Issey and Poivre Piquant?
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 name says spicy. The scent says cozy. Three peppers lead the opening, but the real story is what comes next, beeswax, honey, and a licorice that goes salty before it goes sweet.Poivre Piquant
