Fire Scouring Milk
After me or my nose "Feu d'Issey" could kick pretty, I also let the slimmed down light version on my skin. Only unfortunately remained there then only little of the esprit and the flames of his family DNA...
"Feu Light" by Miyake I would most likely describe as a light coconut pastry for early summer. But really just breathy and tumbling. Aniseed and sundries. A very weak-bodied offshoot for me. Barely any fire, barely any character. That's how it can go with flankers. This one has little raison d'être for me and I'd go for the original every time. There, all the components are pronounced and fully in the juice. Here everything seems bleached, dull and half-baked. Still recognizably a "Feu", but just robbed of much of its heat, edges and contour. I guess that wasn't quite the point. Shoo shoo away at that. But maybe I'm doing him a bit of an injustice and have had too many powerhouses in my nose over the last few days. This one comes rather on quiet Birkenstocks. Tomorrow I'll take a test break. "Feu Light" lures me but still not more after that. I now know the real fire of Issey. This one remains a fire shadow in the cool wind.
Flacon: here he has the nose slightly before the original
Sillage & durability: delicate and briskly gone - 5 hours with good will. But was also hot.
Conclusion: "Feu Light" succumbs to its mother scent in every facet, loses much of dessem fire and seems to me like a thinned out version of something good. So remains rather shrug
