Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Insolence
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 - Bakhour
Bakhour is a divisive beast: some find it a delightful, clean, floral-fruity comfort, while others are utterly repulsed by what they describe as a cheap, synthetic assault. If you fancy a gamble on a super cheapie that could either be your next signature or a scrubber, this is it.

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.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Given its potent longevity and sillage, Bakhour is probably too much for the office. It's a surprisingly good fit for casual wear, with some finding it comforting and warm, but its strong floral character might be too casual for formal events. The clean-yet-musty character makes it largely unsuitable for sport.
