Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Shimmer Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive beast. For some, it's a beautifully warm, smoky woody vanilla - a cosy dream. For others, it's a generic mess, or worse, downright nauseating. Proceed with caution, especially if you're blind buying.

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.
