Insolence Glacée

Which Should You Buy?
If you love violets, this is a gorgeous, sweet, powdery, yet green take on the floral. It's affordable and generally well-loved, though some find it lacks punch. It's often compared to Guerlain's Insolence but with a fresher, lighter touch. Just be warned about the iffy staying power.
This flanker to Insolence is a divisive one; some see it as a fresh, icy take on the original, while others find it a thinner, almost detergent-like imitation. If you appreciate a refined, slightly detached violet, this could be your jam.
