Mon Guerlain Guerlain 2019 Eau de Parfum Intense

Since my favorite fragrance "YSL Manifesto l'elixir" was taken out of the range, I went in search of a new favorite fragrance. I remembered that I once had the EdP variant of the Mon Guerlain. A lavender scent, actually something rare that the scent note lavender, plays the main role. Had also not thought that I will like him, because I associated with lavender always something "old-fashioned".
The lavender is so nicely surrounded by the other fragrance notes, taking away some of the natural "strength". In the Intense version, I smell the mandarin the least, only when I concentrate, although both are given as top notes. Since the lavender is indicated as a top note it is accordingly surprising that the lavender so dominates, to the last smell feel him still, discreetly but there.
To the lavender I smell the sandalwood and patchouli also strongly out.
Now briefly back to the EdP, this seemed too weak to me at the time, the durability is also not so good in comparison. But now I see it more like this: the EdP as a day fragrance and the Intense as an evening fragrance or spring / summer and autumn / winter. The Intense version has been a bit too tart for the warmer days for me.
All in all, it is a very well done fragrance also very special. Feminine, elegant, sweetish, tart, floral ... wonderful combination
The bottle somehow reflects the fragrance. In the Intense, the "little water" is darker as well as the color on the neck and in the EdP, both are lighter and so you can also imagine the fragrance, lighter, lighter....
