Our verdict on Insolence Glacée: Acquired

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.

About

Insolence Glacée opens with a crisp, almost astringent burst of citrus and tart green apple, quickly joined by the signature powdery violet and iris. Red berries add a subtle, understated sweetness without veering into overt fruitiness. It settles into a clean, cool floral dry-down, reminiscent of freshly laundered linen with a sophisticated violet whisper.
