Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Insolence Eau de Toilette
Prepare for a polarised reaction. Most adore this as a whimsical, clean violet scent, but some find it intensely powdery and dated. If you're after a loud, sweet floral that makes a statement, this is your jam. If not, steer clear.

Our Verdict - Love in Black Eau de Parfum
This polarizing violet-centric fragrance is either a dark, sweet, and sensual masterpiece or smells like burnt plastic, rubber, and regret. There's no middle ground, so sample first unless you're feeling adventurous.
