Aliens have landed

Hmm.. Le feu D'issey is weird and unique!
The first whiff was very sharp, quite annoying and nauseating.. Anise and coriander smelled so overwhelming and artificial almost like some kind of medicine!
While the clock counts it gets more creamy, milky.. Anise doesn't disappear it stays with you until the end, it only becomes smoother..
After 2-3 hours wearing it I get a slightly salty dirty feeling along with musk and a touch of vanilla..
Le feu was provocative, it was way ahead for that period of time..
Le feu is not one of these perfumes you met everyday, it's unusual, it's radical, it's a..
love-or- hate affair

We must mention that this red-orange spherical masterpiece designed by Nicolas Gwenael was awarded by IF in 2003.

Milk and Rye Bead

If the sun had a scent this will be it's scent the opening is of dry Mahogany
almost gives you an impression of a dry
desert with sun cracked ground of dark crevices and sand blowing in the hot air.
The spiciness of Coriander leaf and the anise seed makes a nice scent in a likeness of Rye Bread' and the powdery
finish of the top note of rose.

The wood notes drowns out the delicate
lily that makes it hard to detect Jasmine with it's Semi-masculine scent
makes a nice presence but what captures me the most is the drydown of pure creamy milk Coconut flakes and Caramel
makes it Delectable and ends with it's semi sweet vanilla warm amber fiery sandalwood exotic guaiac woods and sharp cedarwood.

This has to be the only versatile fragrance in my collection it can change
from dry and smoky to sweet and creamy like the changling i have an sample right now and i just love the glowing
orange sun motif it brings out alot of energy

Bring it back!

Gorgeous, original scent. I guess one should write to Issey Miyaké or the company behind the house and urge them to relaunch this.
It is absolutely special: strong, red, giddy, milky... a rich whirlpool of different aromas, hedonistic, gradually developing into a warm, extravagant elixir.
Collectors of perfume-vessels love the captivating glass bauble the fragrance was poured into. Probably the best perfume ever launched by the brand.

Stone Soup

Jack went into his lab one day and threw a stone into his pot. As he was heating it up a flavourist walked in to see what he was doing.
I'm making Stone Soup said Jack.
What does it taste of?
Just stone. It's a bit boring, what do you think I should add to it?
I've got Vitamin B and some Nesquik base in my cupboard, I'll go and get them.
Then the florist came in and said
What are you brewing Jack?
Stone, Vitamin B and Nesquik soup, but it tastes a bit dry.
I've just changed the board room display said the florist,
here, you can have these tired flowers, I was only going to put them on the compost... So in the flowers went.
Just as she did that the maintenance man walked in.
I hear you're making stone soup, Jack.
Yes, that's right, but it's a bit too sweet.
Oh, I've got just the thing here, a plank of mahogany.
Perfect!
Then the cook arrived.
Jack, do you want this crème caramel for your soup?
As she threw it into the pot her amber bracelet slipped off her wrist.
Oh well she sighed, never mind.
And then, as the soup bubbled and boiled, Jack took the pot, emptied it into his still and banged the lid shut.
Now, out you go everyone, I have an important guest for dinner.
Suddenly, Jack's phone rang.
Hello, it's reception, Mr Issey has just arrived.
Excellent, thank you. Send him up.

I found a perfect dupe

If you mourn the loss of Le Feu D’Issay, don’t despair!! German brand Éclat makes a really good dupe (No 052). Quality is amazing, and it costs under 20€ when on sale. I even like the minimalistic bottle that reminds me of Chanel Les Exclusifs line. The high shipping cost to the U.S. is the only downside I see. Enjoy!
