Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Feu d'Issey Eau de Parfum
Le Feu d'Issey is an undeniably divisive, avant-garde masterpiece that was perhaps too ahead of its time. Those who love it, really love it - often to the point of obsession - citing its unique complexity. For others, it's a perplexing cacophony of notes that simply doesn't work.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Le Feu D'Issey Light Eau de Parfum
This discontinued gem still sparks fervent love and desperate pleas for its return. A unique, milky-woody blend that's both comforting and distinctly unusual. It's truly a shame it's gone.
