The crux of reformulations
Originally I just wanted to write a statement:
Flashing aldehyde stars
Bergamot rosebud lights incense & blossoms
cool incense as a recurring myth
bright rose remains present
grounded vetiver under a starry sky
I tested the gray, round bottle, not the original version in the square bottle. The newer version in the semi-translucent black bottle with the golden top on the outer box lacks the aldehyde stars, this version starts very warm and remains more restrained.
I also discovered blue bottles in the photo gallery!
Gray bottle:
Aldehydes (or coriander?) flash out again and again, earth crumbs occasionally appear under the green patchouli leaves, vetiver rounds off; the very delicate incense dances rather hazily and nebulously over the bright, young rose; fortunately no marzipan on me, no vanillin (I can't tick oriental á la spices in the rating), here I'm more in a Persian, summery garden.
The review by @chanelle captures my impression very well.
Since I stumbled across the very different reviews and statements, I looked directly at Guerlain and
i came across a 200 ml version: https://www.guerlain.com/sg/en-sg/p/les-absolus-dorient-encens-mythique---eau-de-parfum-P013630.html: "... An ethereal incense leaves only a fleeting stain on this fragrance, while rose characterizes its fiery accents. But the endless sweetness and extraordinary depth come from authentic and majestic ambergris from New Zealand, specially selected by Thierry Wasser for this fragrance. An enigmatic opus to sing the praises of a world dedicated to eternity.
...."
This explains why this version is wearable in winter.
I see my version in the gray bottle more in warmer temperatures.

Bella ciao
Hyacinths, lilies of the valley, fresias and rosebuds shine fresh and bright in the undergrowth. We walk along the path through the narrow, green valley towards the old mill. There used to be gardens on the slopes, but now only a few fruit trees grow here in the fragrant wild meadow. Their blossoms delight us in spring and we pick their fruit in fall.
Many forget-me-nots bloom by the wayside in the partial shade, swaying their heads in the gentle breeze.
The old mill has been converted into a spartan restaurant with heavy wooden tables and ancient deciduous trees providing shade. Next to the disused mill wheel, moss grows right into the forest.
Amber tears run down her face, will there ever be another walk through this bright green and delicate valley?
Forget-me-nots sway their heads in the light wind.
She walks barefoot over the moss, grasses tickle her calves, cedars now provide shade on the way to the small chapel. She sits down devoutly on one of the old wooden benches; a whiff of incense hangs in the air and mingles with the deep green forest scent that still envelops her.
I found this information at https://parfumsgodet.com/fr/collections/petite-fleur-bleue/ Alienated from nature on the Côte d'Azur and the creative spirit that surrounds him, Julien-Joseph Godet sets himself a new challenge: a wood-floral alliance of unprecedented grace. In his own way, the perfumer wrote a poem to his wife, whom he affectionately named Petite Fleur Bleue in reference to her azure blue eyes. The message is conveyed by the freshness of freesia, the delicacy of rose petals and the elegance of jasmine in the heart note. In the depths, incense, cedar and Chamonix moss spread discreet intimacy.

Fairground, folk festival, funfair
Hyacinths, lilies of the valley and violets stroll through the spring-like park.
Soft vanilla beckons from the fairground. The anticipation of a relaxed evening after the chaos of war grows.
Garden carnation, nutmeg & tea rose sit on the carousel's wooden horses adorned with jasmine flower wreaths. Fine fluffy, caramelized cotton candy floats between the wooden stalls and mingles with the flowers.
Kittens roam around the dancers.
**
The only information I could find about Brisson was that this house released these fragrances immediately after the Second World War.
Based on the flacon design and the plastic stoppers, I assume that the fragrances were still being produced in the 1960s.
Unfortunately, I have not discovered a fragrance pyramid.

Spring
Lilies of the valley grow on cool earth, exuding a fresh spring scent and raising their tinkling above the rotten tree trunks and weathered leaves. The little bells find their way to the hyacinths and carnations, the flowers are tied together with a light green ribbon to form a delicate bouquet.
Fresh lavender shows us the way to the mossy wooden hut in the spring-like forest, occasionally aldehyde stars glitter. We take a seat on the rosewood bench, the bouquet of lily of the valley is placed in a vase on the wooden table and delights everyone with its optimistic, bright green scent.
... breathe in the freedom of nature and enjoy the view.

The Grenoville perfume house was founded in 1879.
This fragrance was edited in 1910 as a perfume and as a lotion (today this concentration would be called "Eau de Cologne"). in 1939, Grenoville launched the series "Dans un Jardin" (Flower Scents of the Garden) and Muguet d'Orly was integrated into it.
My bottle only says "Muguet d'Orly", but there is also a paper label with the note "Modèle provisoire" (during World War II due to a shortage of bottle materials) stuck to it.

a daughter of the canasta-playing ladies
Miss Pubertier skips through the garden between citrusy, green and ripe fruits, delicate light and dark red velvety flowers, nibbles on deep black currants and runs across the adjacent meadow drinking nectar, picks a few meadow herbs and watches the beavers on the Opoponax.
Aldyhd stars fall in the cypress grove. A whiff of finely resinated vanilla incense drifts past from the nearby chapel.
Miss Pubertier calms down in the gentle embrace of the resins and falls asleep smiling and grounded on the vetiver-soft oak moss under the cedar in the company of various cuddly toys.
**
In my opinion, this fragrance switches rapidly back and forth between its individual facets; as soon as I think I have arrived on one terrain, the fragrance jumps to the next (contrary) nuance. Fräulein flirts with fruits, flowers, herbs and woods in a very pleasant way without any powdered sugar!
I found this pyramid at Cleo:
Top notes: Cascarilla bark, orange, mandarin, lime, aldehydes, melon, lotus, orange blossom, peach
Heart notes: Clary sage, rose de Mai, Moroccan rose, lily of the valley, Comorian ylang ylang, iris, magnolia, mimosa, honeysuckle, reseda, parma violet, jasmine from Grasse, blackcurrant, clove absolute
Base notes: Siberian castoreum, Tonquin musk, patchouli, Mysore sandalwood, tonka bean, ambergris, benzoin resin, opoponax, cashmere costus, Virginia cedar, Yugoslavian oakmoss, bourbon vetiver, Provençal cypress, Arabian frankincense, vanilla absolute
