What do reviewers say about Histoire d'Eau and Le Feu d'Issey?
It's the opening that divides people, medicinal sharpness, a brief bitterness that passes in minutes. What follows is worth that patience: warm leather, amber.Histoire d'Eau
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
