What does Le Feu d'Issey Light smell like?

The top is aniseed, coconut, mahogany and bergamot. In the heart, hydrangea, jasmine and rose form a floral base, while milk and caramel round it into a gourmand sweetness. The base of gaiac wood, sandalwood and vanilla leaves a woody, powdery, faintly oriental trail.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily, leisure and office wear. It reads mostly feminine. It has been discontinued. Its profile is close to Issey Miyake Le Feu d'Issey and Joop! Le Bain (Eau de Parfum).
