Ok, I see all the negative reviews, but this is quite lovely on me. Its sweet, but not cloying. It is a bit sharp in the beginning, but the drydown is wonderful, I smell a soft, powdery,...

I got a sample of this with a purchase from Sephora. I love violets, so I had high hopes. It didn't work out. The only thing I could smell was the scent of gumdrops that had melted and rotted in a...

I was certain that I wouldn't like this fragrance when the SA accosted me and practically insisted that I try it. I'm not particularly fond of sweet, powdery florals, but this just smelled so...

I do not like Insolence at all. This fragrance is too sweet smelling to me, and it simply makes me feel nauseated. I immediately washed it off my wrists where I had applied it, but I can still...

Other than Shalimar, I am not big on the Guerlains, but I like Insolence. I am also becoming something of a violet aficionado, and to me, Insolence smells like clean laundry, but not in the "Clean"...

This is for me a reincarnation of Estee Lauder's Spellbound, and just as heavy, syrupy and impossible to wash off. Put it on before bed and ended up trying to wash it off in order not to...

Happy to have another Guerlain but very put off to see their new mascot, Swank, who I think projects the mystery and irreverence of a moth. <hr>Very sweet, powdery violet fruity florals and anise...

I got a card sample and tried it, but it was too floral for me. It's not a heavy floral, but more like a light, green summery floral. I do get the violet, but something else is always competing...

Though it is a perfume tinted pink, I disagree that it smells like a teenager's scent. This perfume is indeed very mature and has an infrangible dignity. Also, it has a great lasting power on me;...

I received this as a sample in a Sephora ad. At first it smelled good - very sweet and floral. Then after some time passed it smelled like the Yankee Candle Hearts and Flowers. It is also very...

Gave me a headache. Heavy floral. Couldn't even wash it off - it just seemed to stay on my skin no matter how much soap and water I used to wash it off. It lasted all day too. I finally had to take...

If l'Instant was considered a kind of transition for Guerlain,it was still classy and interesting...with Insolence we have now the rejection part. This is far too much cloying,the same cheap...

What a great fragrance! This scent really works well with my chemistry. I get a sweet (but not syrup-sweet, just feminine sweet, if that makes sense), powdery violet with this scent. The scent...

This is like a bad knock-off of Lolita Lempika. Like they threw in a few extra too-sweet floral notes on top of Lolita. I expected better from Guerlain.

Insolence is being marketed as a "spiral" fragrance. I'm not sure what that means, unless it is the reason that on me the violet is always there, while other notes dry down. At first it is violet...

Love the bottle and the Swank-y visuals, and those are pretty much the only nice things I have to say about this scent. It contains two of my personal "death notes": iris and violet. And believe...
