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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Energetic EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Insolence - a powdery fragrance led by Red Berries, with woody depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

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.

Energetic

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the powdery signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
