Insolence Eau de Parfum

Insolence Eau de Parfum is a bold, highly concentrated violet fragrance that opens with a gourmand burst of sweet berries and radiant violet, evoking the scent of vintage cosmetics or candy. The heart reveals a rich, velvety powdery iris that softens the intensity, creating a layered effect that is at once glamorous and opulent. The base unfolds with creamy, sweet tonka bean and smooth sandalwood, providing a grounding yet sensuous foundation. Though the scent performance is legendary, with immense longevity and a strong sillage that can be felt deeply for hours, its impact varies significantly across skin types. The fragrance is consistently noted for its intense, almost overwhelming presence, and its similarity to laundry detergent or powdered sugar makes it a polarizing choice. It is well-suited to colder climates and occasions where an unmistakable, dramatic presence is desired. The reformulated 'Bee Bottle' version is reported to be less concentrated than the original, while the older, purple bottle versions are praised for their deeper, more captivating character.
