Insolence (2008) Eau de Parfum by GuerlainGuerlainInsolence (2008) Eau de Parfum4.0191 ratings

Inspired by @lnoelkayhan Insolence, sitting pretty amongst her AAs yesterday, I thought I’d wear mine today. A violet and iris love bomb that is sparkling in the sunshine today. Powdery yet fresh, filled with sweet pretty florals and berries yet smoulders with the boudoir sexiness of a vintage lipstick. I still have my rose bottle mini from 2008 when I first wore this and it’s been in my collection ever since. Unapologetic and fearless violet, beautiful, feminine. A familiar pleaser with the other half and kids.

    Just wore this yesterday for a night out. Can’t be beaten, classic for a reason. My favorite wild strawberry note too, besides the lovely violet, which I love!

    I love it. I still have my original bottle with the spinning top that looks like a flower (not sure what it's called) and cherish it 🥹😊

      Yess!! I call it a rose bowl bottle lol. I lost a lot of my perfumes in a house move in 2010.. the little rose mini bottle was one that made it. 🙌🏼

    This is probably my favorite Guerlain, but I can’t wear it as I get a headache :(.
