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.

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.
