Insolence

Insolence, a Bold Violet Berry

Guerlain Insolence is a bold violet berry scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with red berries and rose before a violet, iris, and orange blossom heart settles over vanilla, tonka bean, and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

Guerlain built Insolence as a bold, playful scent, all juicy berries and powdery violet over warm vanilla. The idea was a daring, confident femininity.

That bold sweetness is its appeal. The red berries and rose keep it juicy, the violet and iris add a powdery heart, and the vanilla and tonka give it a warm base. Our interpretation follows that same confident path.
