Insolence

Guerlain Insolence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Insolence opens with Violet, settles into a heart of Wild Strawberry and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Iris, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Insolence carries an Acquired verdict, a violet floral-led wear.

This is unapologetically violet-forward, a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who get it, it's a candied, powdery dream; for others, a synthetic nightmare. You either embrace its whimsical, vintage charm or run a mile. No middle ground here, mate.

Its potent projection means it's a bit much for a quiet office, but the elegant, comforting aura makes it great for dates or casual wear. The vintage feel could work for formal events, but it's definitely not one for the gym.

About

Insolence bursts forth with an intense, sugary violet, like a basket of Parma Violet sweets. This potent floral quickly settles into a soft, ethereal powderiness, courtesy of iris, conjuring images of vintage makeup bags. Hints of wild strawberry and orange blossom add a touch of playful sweetness, while vanilla, tonka, and sandalwood in the base lend a creamy, comforting depth, ensuring it lingers for ages.
