About

Insolence Blooming bursts open with a dazzling, fruity violet, brightened by juicy red berries. This isn't a shy, demure floral; it's sparkling and energetic, balanced by a sophisticated powdery iris that grounds the initial sweetness. The violet remains dominant throughout, a vibrant, slightly sweet floral heart that lasts for ages.
