Guerlain My Insolence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Christophe Raynaud and Sylvaine Delacourte. My Insolence opens with Citrus and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Almond Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's My Insolence carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This raspberry and almond powder-puff caused a stir and its discontinuation led to wailing and gnashing of teeth. It's a sweet, playful scent that's loved for its unique, comforting softness, though some find it a bit too sweet or powdery for their taste.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and sweet, comforting blend make it great for casual outings and dates, receiving many compliments. While versatile, its sweetness and projection might be too much for a formal setting or close office environments, and it's certainly not suited for sport.

About

My Insolence opens with a bright burst of sweet, juicy raspberry and a touch of fresh citrus, quickly softening into a delicate heart of creamy almond blossom and a hint of white jasmine. The full-bodied dry down introduces a comforting powdery warmth of vanilla and tonka bean, underpinned by a subtle, grounding patchouli, creating a sweet, almost gourmand, and thoroughly feminine experience.
