Cornubia Penhaligon's 1991

With "Cornubia," I hold a bottle in my hands, experiencing a scent that I had not tested before.
A friend brought me this fragrance from England about six months ago, which is rarely available for purchase here.
Because I always feared "powdery-floral scents," I had postponed testing "Cornubia," but now curiosity won out.
And I was pleasantly surprised (I always complain about prejudices, and now I fell victim to one myself...)
This scent is truly magnificent, even though it does not fit my usual "type."
Because... yes, because it somehow smells "vintage." As if it fell out of time, even though the contents of the bottle must be from a newer production,
Heliotrope-floral powderiness combined with fresh accents of mandarin, the warmth of orange blossoms.
Everything has a balanced light sweetness that in no way corresponds to my imagined cliché.
Although this did indeed apply to other fragrances.
Here, there is nothing "sticky" or "overly sweet," but only wonderfully natural and floral.
Slowly, quite spicy and more robust notes creep in, still powdery, but different from "modern-powdery," where one directly shakes a dusty-sweet powder puff in front of their nose.
No, this powder note comes into play in the "dry down," so to speak, a few seconds after directly smelling above the spray area.
I only know something like this from much older batches of "classic" fragrances.
Fine woods and "dark" vanilla round everything off.
However, this fine and "subsequent" powder note (I believe I also recognize cloves) remains throughout the entire scent development.
It even intensifies in an extremely pleasant way.
For my nose, "Cornubia" has no vintage pretensions; it IS vintage. Still?!? Or again!?! I cannot give myself a clear answer.
I just suspect that "Penhaligon's" has simply retained the formulation from the early 90s.
To the delight of all the noses that do not like newly invented and reformulated (often to "death") fragrances.
Here, everything seems to still be right.
