What do reviewers say about Le Feu d'Issey and Frescaessenza?
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
Some read the lilac and iris as feminine. Others won't. The cedar doesn't negotiate, it arrives by hour two and stays. That's what intensifying actually means here: not louder, but deeper.Frescaessenza
