Has Le Feu d'Issey been discontinued?+−
Yes, this fragrance was discontinued several years after its release. It has since become a highly sought-after collector's item, often commanding high prices on the secondary market.
What are the best occasions to wear this fragrance?+−
Because of its warm, spicy, and woody profile, it is most popular during the fall and winter months. While it is versatile enough for leisure or daily wear, many find its complexity best suited for evenings and special nights out.
How does the "milk" note behave in this scent?+−
The milk note in Le Feu d'Issey is not a literal, sugary dairy scent. Instead, it provides a lactonic, creamy texture that softens the sharp edges of the coriander and cedar, giving the fragrance a warm, "glowing" sensation.
Is this a very sweet, gourmand fragrance?+−
While it contains caramel and vanilla, it is classified as a spicy woody fragrance. The sweetness is tempered by mahogany, gaiac wood, and bitter aniseed, making it much more savory and architectural than a standard dessert-like gourmand.
