Personally, it seems like a grandmother’s perfume to me, strong, intense, very floral. Ideal for night and winter. Ideal for someone who wants to make an impression. It has great longevity and sillage.
My favorite perfume. For me, its definition is ELEGANT. It’s a floral perfume where the violet scent stands out above all other notes. I love having a ton of EDTs and EDPs, but the one that never fails and the one I always repeat is INSOLENCE.
Perfect. Only the most trained noses appreciate the brutal evolution of this perfume. It can’t be judged at first glance. If you give it the chance to live on your skin, it will surprise you. Sophisticated woman, strong, decisive, open, and simple at the same time. Only a woman of high class would wear this fragrance. I think it conveys a lot of information about your personality without saying a word.
The violet, considered the humblest of flowers, here is Imperial Violets, in capitals, grandiose, almost touchable; flanked by fruity touches, sharpened by iris and softened by a bit of elegant rose, resting on resinous ambered accords, perhaps sandalwood that gives dryness and tonka bean: darkness, mystery; the musk deepens its voluptuousness. The citrus (bergamot, orange blossom) perhaps aren’t perceived explicitly, as they are in the perfect measure to lower the excessive sweetness of the formula. I even imagine it has some jasmine, I don’t know if they thought of it. Insolence is a very solid fragrance, conceived with great intelligence, old school; despite being born in 2006, it has nothing to do with current perfumes. Definitely Guerlain Woman is represented in this bottle, to be felt with all senses; no wonder the liquid is that color, it couldn’t be a yellow EDT. Whoever wears it is ‘very woman’: they are seen before they arrive and remembered even after they leave.
It’s a very personal perfume. I agree with many reviews: it smells exquisitely of violets with a sweet touch thanks to the raspberry. Personally, I find Guerlain perfumes have an artificial touch. Although it suits my skin’s pH, I don’t see it for heavy winter wear because it becomes too overwhelming. I find it better for a spring afternoon or a summer night, worn subtly. Would I buy it again? I don’t think so.
I love this EDT. Its scent, longevity, and sillage are wonderful. It’s rare that I wear it and don’t get asked what I’m wearing. To me, it smells like sweet, powdery violets; some say it smells like a lollipop, others like gummies. It doesn’t matter what they say, I always receive compliments from men and women. I wear it in all seasons, day and night (only at night in summer), and it suits any occasion.
Elegant, violets, powder, timeless… it’s an EDT that has nothing to envy the EDP. In fact, I feel it lasts longer on my skin than the EDP. It’s one of my must-haves, without a doubt. I’m on my third bottle.
Like Manuela Monteiro… I’m on my third bottle. I never imagined I’d like a violet-based perfume so much. It never goes unnoticed; everyone asks what I’m wearing, what a delicious and different scent. My sister tried it and is already on her second bottle too, hahaha.
It’s a syrupy liqueur of red fruits with dusty violets leading this creation. It radiates such sensual insolence, and what a fitting name. It’s a work of art with an eternal trail, incredible longevity, exquisite dry-down, and beastly projection. Simply delicious; it had to be Guerlain.
I absolutely love violets, and Insolence is the love cry of my life. I have nothing else to add.
Violets. Violets and violets. If you like them, this is YOUR perfume. Don’t doubt it. I wanted it for a long time and bought it a while ago. It smells like a ‘free extra candy’ (in Argentina, that’s a specific treat); in fact, my friends tell me I smell like that. LONGEVITY AND SILLAGE: INCREDIBLE. Just apply it in the morning and it lasts all day, leaving a trail wherever you go. WARNING: don’t fall for the idea that because it’s an EDT it doesn’t last; in fact, the EDT smells much better than the EDP. It doesn’t resemble anything else, and that’s what’s fabulous. Greetings from the wonderful Mendoza, Argentina.
Not a good option for those who suffer from migraines. I was attracted to it and sprayed it on my back in the store; upon smelling it, a terrible migraine attack began. That happens with chlorine, acetone, or perfumes with lots of alcohol, though you can’t smell the alcohol; there’s something in its composition that is very strong and triggering. The sillage wouldn’t go away even after washing my hands and stopping activities until I got home, took a bath, and locked myself in the dark. It is undoubtedly a headache-inducing perfume. Whoever wants to use it should be sure it will give them a lot of presence, especially if used by someone with a strong personality. You’ll never be forgotten.
This fragrance transports me back to my childhood: Saturdays or Sundays when my parents took me to the center of Madrid and bought me a box of violet candies. That’s what Insolence smells like. A great compliment generator, with excellent projection and very good longevity, about 8 hours on skin for an EDT. I love the new bottle, so elegant and vintage. If you like caramelized violets interpreted in a distinguished way, this is your fragrance. Scent 8/10, Longevity 8/10, Sillage 8/10, Value for money 7/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 10/10. Would I buy it again? Yes.
It’s a bomb of sweet, modern, and feminine violets. It’s an EDT with longevity and sillage worthy of an EDP. The opening is juicy, fruity, and sweet, with lots of berries and raspberries; then the violets explode and stay. The dry down is powdery and sweet, like violet candies. The performance is excellent, ideal for crowded parties so you don’t go unnoticed. When you sweat, it activates and projects a lot. I simply love it. P.S.: It’s very potent, don’t recommend buying blindly.
Extremely powdery perfume, with a very sweet part. I miss it, I bought it and swapped it out very quickly. The amount of talcum powder scares me. I’d like to give it another chance.
It’s persistent, lots of violet, but it stinks. It smells like fly repellent. What does stand out is the durability on skin and even more on clothes. I won’t buy it again. Scent: 6. On skin: 8 hours. Sillage: 5.
The opening captivates me: rich, with violets and a delicious sparkling touch. I thought I had found the perfect aroma and bought it instantly. The first time I applied it to my chest, wrists, and neck, I was thrilled. But after two hours, it became very powdery and cloyingly sweet, even giving me a headache, like a floor disinfectant. Now I use only two sprays at 30 cm, in winter and in well-ventilated places. The longevity and sillage are very good for an EDT. The new bottle is very beautiful.
I love its violet scent; it reminds me a lot of the purple version of Issey Miyake’s Pleats Please.
I bought it for a vacation in cold climates and it was an excellent decision. It was a bomb of talcum-powdered violets that gave me peace and tranquility every time I smelled it. The best part: upon arriving at the hotel, I could still detect those floral notes. It’s exquisite.
This perfume was born from the berry trend and it worked. To me, it smells like white musk with caramelized violets and a sweet raspberry note. The original bottle was gorgeous, feminine, and elegant; unfortunately, the current one looks generic and cheap, but the fragrance remains good. It’s sensual, very well orchestrated, and ideal for an elegant night. Seductive for romantic women of all ages who want to make an impression. It has class and that air of when perfumery still crafted pieces with personal category. Later came the decline, but it’s a floral with style.
Can you imagine diving into a bathtub full of violet candies? Wrapping yourself in that lilac, sweet, and talc-like scent of those tins? Well, in my opinion, that is Insolence, nothing more or less. A violet scent that accompanies you like a cloud all day. A perfume that is more than insolent, innocent. Very feminine and endearing, though I think it’s not for me…
I remember this Guerlain launch, three years after L’instant, when Maurice Roucel returned with another perfume for the brand trying to match his global fame. The house went all in by inviting Hilary Swank, an award-winning actress who had just won her second Oscar. Coupled with impressive marketing with ads everywhere, the composition promised the return of that intense, resinous, and musky iris from L’instant, with a nod to the past violet style of Apres l’ondee. Expectations were high, and the perfume didn’t fail; it was a commercial success. I think, like L’instant, Insolence was never for the young, but rather to make ladies over 30 delirious, the sector Swank belonged to. And so it was; women between 30 and 40 catapulted this fragrance. Of course, it didn’t become the perfume of the decade, but it didn’t go unnoticed and is still available. In composition: imagine something more ethereal and talc-like like Chanel’s Misia, but Guerlain opted for a well-irisated, cosmetic violet, bordering on cloying, with a strident cocktail of red berries. In the top, bergamot increases the sweet-and-sour play of the raspberry and berries, but that sensation fades away. In the heart, you notice the rose, but the iris and violet claim all the attention. Yes, it was a sillage and longevity bomb. Positively speaking, but in this case, it ended up tiring me. I liked the handling of certain notes, but everything was too amplified. Years later, I tried it again and our chemistry was different; I was very young then and didn’t understand that you don’t always need to spray three or four times with every fragrance. Some, like Insolence, must be used moderately for the perfect result. Now I enjoy it so much; that intense cosmetic violet that I’ve always liked, but applied moderately. I know they changed the bottle several times; my review is of the first launch.
I struggle to wear it; at times it’s so cloying it gives me a headache, even though I like sweet scents. It’s like carrying around many flower candies that tasted like blackberry mixed with talcum powder. It’s not a bad smell, but it feels musty and old.
To me, it basically smells like the classic violet candies from before with a slight talc touch. It’s not a bad perfume, but I find it too heavy and cloying.
After a long time, I finally managed to get it; I wanted the original bottle that they no longer make. I’ve never found it cloying, more talc-like, but it’s perfect when gourmands overwhelm me and fresh scents don’t last on my skin. It’s an ideal break. Since I like musks, I can slightly detect that note here. In heat, with three sprays, it works great; it’s versatile for day and night in any season, just mind the amount.
My doll perfume, that’s how I feel. Dear caramelized violets, come to me! What a beautiful scent. I got it from a friend who sold it to me, and it’s gorgeous. It brings back childhood memories of opening those sweets and smells like the hair of new dolls. It’s very feminine, but watch out, it’s potent and overwhelming, not meant to go unnoticed. It has excellent longevity and makes you feel super feminine. I love it.
When I smell it, it reminds me of LUSH’s purple shampoo, those classic violet candy boxes from Spain, and dolls. Imagine a vintage vanity with fine creams, fluffy powders, and a little dish of red berry jam that adds sweetness to the whole ensemble.
I agree it’s white musk with caramelized violets and sweet raspberry. It’s a fragrance with a lot of personality, ideal for those who like gourmand notes. The touch of orange blossom and iris gives it the luminosity that captivates me in this fruity floral.
This is pure beauty in perfume form; there’s nothing to add. I adore it.
If you wear it, people will definitely ask for your opinion. It smells like violets and red berries, sweet and nostalgic, like a childhood hug. Works great in the cold, but also in summer. It’s feminine, playful, and sexy. I add vanilla on top because sometimes the violet gets too strong. I love it; it’s a shame they discontinued it. I know there’s a similar Insolence, but it’s not the same. Also, the original bottle was gorgeous and elegant, while the new one is boring.
The best perfume I own, my favorite. It has a slightly sweet but fresh aroma without being cloying; I get lots of compliments when I wear it.
This is an interesting fragrance: feminine, impertinent, rebellious, with a penetrating and intense opening where the violet notes take control with power, yet they carry supporting floral notes. It’s a fragrance that makes an impression; longevity is about 6 hours, with the first 2 hours having moderate but present projection. At first glance, it’s not a fragrance to buy blindly since it’s not the typical soft, floral, or delicate feminine scent; on the contrary, it’s sophisticated but daring. Maybe ideal for an outfit over 30 for a party or special event. While versatile, it knows how to stand out.
Elegant and powerful, nothing more to say.
On my skin, it’s a slightly talcum-scented Sweet Floral Fruity, very feminine and elegant. The violet note isn’t the star; it’s always accompanied by raspberry and bergamot, and as it dries down, you get a touch of wood and musk, but always alongside those raspberries. I don’t perceive the rose at any stage of the perfume. Its performance is good for an EDT; it lasts about 6 hours on skin and a bit longer on clothes. In my opinion, it’s an olfactory delight, a chameleon perfume because on my daughter it smells like violets and more violets with a clean, slightly woody musk.
A violet-heavy, sweet, nocturnal, ultra-feminine, dark, and sensual perfume. Old-school longevity, nothing like those current weak sprays. This is the first and best Insolence, the EDT, from Guerlain, from 2006, by the wonderful perfuming duo Rousel-Delacourte. Unfortunately, as often happens in the perfume business, it’s now discontinued (if you find it, it’ll be Iranian caviar price) and replaced by ‘modern reissues’, recent flankers, or various substitutes that aren’t the same, even if they claim to resemble it or even if they’re cheap clones. Insolence Guerlain 2006. Like the first one, none of them, kid. I’m a straight guy, and I’m obsessed smelling it on women.
It’s as precious as a bride walking down the aisle saying ‘I do’. The violets are the soul of this fragrance, and the iris gives it a daring touch like a spring garden. It doesn’t tire or overwhelm me; it’s subtle but persistent. It lasts a long time, between 6 and 9 hours. For me, it’s a work of art in perfumery.
A marvel, I’m talking about the circular/floral vintage bottle. Sweet, playful, and sexy violets, outrageously feminine, with impressive longevity and a great trail. I have about 75% product left, but since I only wear it well into autumn/winter and on rare occasions, it’ll last me a few more years. I don’t see it as a party perfume, but for an elegant event, a dinner, etc… I wear it on cold mornings and afternoons, with a crossed midi coat, boots, and a good XL bag on my arm. A ‘pretty girl’ perfume, an absolute treasure.
It smells quite vintage, but it’s delicious. It feels super feminine with the violet and raspberry, almost cool. That’s why I like mixing it with a simple vanilla or musk perfume to add some warmth. I see it as perfect for an elegant dinner or a winter evening wedding. It’s not for everyday wear, but you’ll definitely turn heads when you wear it.
What a pity I discovered this perfume so late! I wish I were 20 to wear it non-stop, be a happy, chatty, and fun girl (maybe the one I never was), and wear it to seduce without trying, just to catch attention.
This one, along with Ultraviolet, is always my mom’s go-to perfume 🥰. It’s a super kaleidoscopic fragrance because it changes depending on who wears it, the time of day, and the season. In spring, on my mom, it smells fresh and citrusy with a musky touch and a faint hint of raspberry. It’s very feminine and delicate, like a porcelain doll. On me, it’s much stronger because the amber kills me 😅. We skip it in summer since we prefer sweeter scents. Just like it smells on my mom, it reminds me of Chanel Chance Eau Vive, my favorite citrus; but this Guerlain is far more multidimensional. I wish it smelled the same on my skin because it’s incredible: it’s between unreachable futurism and vintage, classic, and safe.
