Embruns d'Ylang Guerlain 2019

I was uncertain when I heard about a new Ylang interpretation by Thierry Wasser: Should I hope to encounter another floral sensation like Mahora/Mayotte? Or a (overpriced) reissue of the best of all Aqua Allegorias - Ylang-Vanille? Or will it turn out to be completely different than expected, as has often been the case with the members of the Art et Matiere series?
Both, is the answer.
Embruns d'Ylang is all that, and much more: It has a cooling powderiness like in Quand vient la pluie, while also drawing on 190 Ans (almond honey/orange blossom) - both symptomatic of the newer representatives of the Art et Matiere line, Mon Precieux Nectar, and also found in other Guerlain fragrances of recent years.
But memories of Mahora and AAVY are also kept alive, through a sea-fresh, non-stuffy, yet creamy floral Ylang presence.
The scent is supposedly a one shot, as TW said he could not guarantee that he could maintain this quality. And like with Parure, it would mean: "If the scent can no longer be produced, then it simply won't exist anymore."
That would be tragic, because it is wonderful. Finely balanced, light, yet still long-lasting.
