Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Insolence EDP

A divisive powerhouse - some find it a sophisticated, intoxicating violet dream, others an overwhelming, artificial mess. If you're after a bold, unapologetic purple floral with serious projection, this could be your signature, assuming you can handle the intensity.

Our Verdict - Sentiment EDT

A divisive throwback; for some, it's a nostalgic, clean floral dream, for others, a forgettable, overly sweet 'Avon-esque' scent. If you're after a hit of early 2000s innocence, this might be your jam - but sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Insolence

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its immense sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, but perfect for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement. The rich, floral-powdery accords lend themselves well to formal settings, while its unique playfulness allows for casual wear with a light hand.

Seasons

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and 'clean' aura make it tolerable for office wear, but the sweet and fruity aspects push it more towards casual and date settings. It's a bit too light for formal events and certainly not built for sport.
