INTRODUCTION
I bought Le Feu d'Issey Light as an alternative to its hard to find, very expensive and discontinued sister fragrance, Le Feu d'Issey which is one of the most interesting, beautiful and unusual perfumes I've ever come across. The name suggested a ligther version, so how did it fare in the end?
THE PACKAGING
The fragrance comes in the same sphere-shaped bottle as Le Feu d'Issey, however, this time it has a milky white colour with a red inner cone.

The Canal du Midi, is a man dug canal, situated in the south of France, and joins the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean sea, via the Canal Garonne. The water sources which allow the canal to be constantly navigable, come from the Montagne Noire, (situated in the south west of the Massif Central, near Mazamet, in the Tarn area), by three lakes, and the Saint Ferréol dam. This technical challenge, first imagined in 1539, stayed a project on paper for almost a century, until 1636.

It was Paul Riquet, an ingenious engineer, born in Béziers in 1604, who started the first portion of the Canal in 1636, under the reign of Louis XIV. The Saint Ferréol dam was built in 1667, and in 1680, the locks at Béziers, called "Les écluses de Fonseranne" were built. Pierre Paul Riquet died that year, and the very first navigation ...
