My Insolence

I was hunting this discontinued fragrance for well over a year just because of the notes, in particular the almond blossom, but I wasn’t prepared to pay the over inflated prices it gets listed for on Ebay. Eventually I found one on Ebay for a great price and so I bought it. I specifically remember this because I was moving house and had an expected moving day, so I had diverted my post to my new address, and then of course that moving day was changed due to the incompetence of my buyers’ solicitors (I’m over it now honestly but it was really stressful) and so it was only on moving day when I finally had the joy of entering my new house, with the chaos of boxes and furniture being moved in and left in all the wrong places around me and with friends and family helping out that I chose to unwrap My Insolence and have my very first spray. I was actually underwhelmed. I felt it was a little generic, not that exciting, not quite what I expected. So I went about getting settled into my new home and didn’t retry My Insolence for another week or so. That’s when the magic happened for me. I still wouldn’t describe it as ground breaking, I wouldn’t say it rocked my world but rather it just fitted me to perfection. Like that pair of jeans that feels like they were made purely for you. Out of every fragrance in my collection My Insolence is the one that is most me so the name is rather apt. She wears like a gauzy chiffon shawl, discreet but not invisible, just adding a touch of sophistication. I don’t pick up on the citruses, I get the raspberry and almond, along with clean fluffy musk. Everything combines together like a whipped aerated cream. The raspberry is not too sharp nor too sweet, the almond is light and diffusive. The vanilla gently sidles in and gradually gains momentum over time. Fragrantica doesn’t list musk but I’d say that clean fluffy musk is the most important note here, it softens an already soft as a feather fragrance. This chiffon shawl is edged in a cloud-like fur (faux of course, nothing animalic here) that is pure comfort. I don’t sense the jasmine as a separate note but rather just get a touch of a creamy white floral accord that blends in imperceptibly. I also don’t specifically pick up on the patchouli or tonka but I’m sure they are increasing the overall sleekness. My Insolence is not sugary at all, the notes may sound sweet but they are all diet and dentist friendly, of course there’s a touch of sweetness but really nothing like you might expect. My Insolence lasts on my skin at least 8 hours and projects lightly all day (amazing for an edt). The overall feel is reassuring, comforting with a lightly playful side. The perfect scent for those that work with sensitive souls, a fragrance that is clean, yet warm, soft and very approachable.

It has come to my attention that most people on Fragrantica hate long reviews, so here is a quick & dirty one for My Insolence: A long lasting, multi-layered perfume with lots of citrus & raspberry, almond-blossom/apple-blosson/raspberry-blossom sweet/musky florals, tonka bean, and sweet patchouli. Most of the notes last a long time, and the projection/sillage are phenomenal. * * * Okay, so for the rest of you I have to tell you what happened the first time I wore this perfume. I really like Insolence EDP, and I blind-ordered My Insolence just because I liked the EDP so much (and because a tester costs about $25.) My Insolence, it's supposed to be the lighter, brighter, fresher, daytime version of Insolence, right? To quote Charlie Murphy--Wrong. WRONG. WROONGGGG. The is a "Habitual Line Stepper" perfume. Without doing a trial run, like I do with most perfumes, I applied 3 full sprays before work, got dressed, and put on my jacket. On the way to work I had to open a car window to compete with the fumes, they were choking me. Once I arrived at work I really realized that this stuff was way too strong. I left a trail wherever I went. I was conscious of my perfume preceding me into the room. My coworkers politely but perceptively stayed about 6 feet away from me at all times. I tried to scrub it away to little avail. When I went downstairs at the end of my shift my jacket had fumigated the entire break room. When I drove home my car still contained a My Insolence cloud. A few days later, while wearing Mitsouko, I put said jacket on again and it reeked of My Insolence, and totally covered up any trace of demure little Mitsouko. When I took my jacket off, traces of My Insolence had rubbed off on my skin so for the rest of the day I was essentially wearing it. So, this is possibly the loudest, most tenacious, craziest projection "I will invade every corner of your life" perfume ever created. I just read this book called "The Heart Goes Last" by Margaret Atwood and I felt My Insolence embodied the quasi-character Jasmine--she doesn't exactly exist, but if she did, she would wear this--she is a fantastical teased & hairsprayed brunette, bubble gum snapping, motor bike riding, purple lipstick wearing, heavy metal listening, foul mouthed, sex crazed, badass--this perfume is the embodiment of that attitude. And I learned an important lesson--always, always take your perfume for a trial run before you take it out in public. You just don't' know what it's going to do. Oh, and even after all that, I really love this perfume:)

Tested on a sunny November day of 60*F in central Texas (moderate gusts of wind). Applied to my pulse points for my regular weekend shopping & social outing. Longevity: about 4 hours (I was not heavy handed in my application). Sillage: Radiated to within arms reach for a couple of hours and then settled into a skin scent Impression: Feminine and warmly happy. This scent reminded me of when I was a child and got to meet the Prima Ballerina of the Nutcracker before the show. She gave me a sincere and strong hug, and her skin smelled warm & softly devine. Bottle design: 8 out of 10. Simple, classy, understated elegant design. On first spray it is radiates a jammy sweet "play doh" type smell. Within minutes this settles to the lemon cakes drizzled with raspberry glaze scent that so many have identified. For me, this a preferably fall scent for the time of light sweaters and scarves. After 10 minutes I was won over. The scent settles as a radiating skin scent that will whisper delight to anyone stepping into your personal space. It becomes this light skin musk with a touch of vanilla powdery warmth (sweet without being sugary or artificial). The patchoulli is not a major player thank goodness. This would be the perfect gift for a new mother or young lady who has matured into a strong graceful feminine presence. I gave it to one of my friends for her college graduation (she use to blast Brittany Spears scents while In school) and this is her office scent. I can see it appealing to women ages 21-45. Overall, I would say that this would be an awesome gift with a wide range of appropriate occasions. Give this scent plenty of time to settle as you get ready to go about your day. Definitely a cooler weather treasure.

A soft and innocent perfume that has just enough of a tangy edge from the raspberry, combined with a sharp and refreshing citrus. A gorgeous lemon note emerges from the citrus to play with the vanilla-tinged almond blossom. Almond blossom defines the scent, with a honeyed, vanilla heliotrope nuance. Sweet, floral, succulent and fruity. As the fragrance progresses through the open, heart and base, all the notes reinforce each other beautifully. A sweet, non-indolic jasmine works with both the raspberry and the almond blossom. The woody aspects of the raspberry reinforce the patchouli and almond. The tonka reinforces the almond, and gives it a bitter almond tinge; it also backs up the vanilla aspect of the almond blossom. The vanilla in the almond blossom and tonka give the lemon a gourmand aspect. The greener aspects of the tonka help the patchouli to stay green and herbaceous, lifting the patchouli to another level. The patchouli on me is very light, more green than earthy. I think this is one that the patchouli averse might like. The sweeter darker aspects of the patchouli also combine with, deepen, and extend the raspberry. An easy to wear and inoffensive scent with depth, progression and substance. Great in Spring and Summer, but I wear it year round. Great for a day when you know you are going out socially after work, as it reveals both a day and night personae. Can be flirty and fun. Lasts 6-8 hours, I usually reapply before going out, but if I can't, I will still get whiffs. This is a subtle, beautifully composed fragrance that combines a cuddly vibe with a flirty, playful innocence. Something I will always have in my wardrobe. Bonus: Very affordable for a Guerlain.

This was the first perfume i ever fell in LOVE with, not in like not oooh this smells nice I'll buy it but rather fell in love with it. I couldn't afford it when I first came across the strip of smell in my magazine - i think it was the summer of 2007 so I used to take regular trips to the perfume counter just to get sprays of it. In my world no other scent existed or could compare at the time. I was a woman obsessed. Anyway my stepmom generously gifted me a gift set that xmas and I have kept a bottle in my collection ever since. I always go back to it no matter what. I think I would go insane if i were ever to hear whispers of a discontinuation. It is a superbly made fragrance and I don't think I've ever loved any the way I love this one. It is undeniably feminine not in an overly mature way or in a "too young" way rather I think it can suit anyone of any age. In my opinion the most versatile of the insolences day or night formal or informal function. Sweet, clean and fresh yet somehow warm, sexy and inviting. The silage is incredible, it is a definite compliment catcher and the longevity is superb. On my skin it stays for hours when layered even longer (which is rare for me since my skin tends to devour scents) and on clothing it stays until you wash it. I wore it on New Years eve and when i took the dress that I wore out of my closet last week it still smelled clearly of My insolence. As I've said before I truly love and adore it, I would recommend it to anyone to try.

God, for some reason I can't get enough of this lately. I keep thinking about wearing something else, and then I think back to yesterday (and the day before and the day before) and how much I enjoyed the scent of My Insolence and the way it changed throughout the day until, by evening, it had become incredibly friendly and cozy. I came to My Insolence by way of Insolence, my signature scent since its release in 2006. I love everything about Insolence; its brashness, its unapologetic feminine accords. I like that it's a bit cheeky, and not afraid to offend. I wrote off My Insolence for years until, finding it had been discontinued, I bought a bottle for posterity's sake and out of my sheer obsession with Insolence. I used it once, was pleasantly surprised but not blown away, and set it on my perfume tray with Insolence and the rest of her flankers. Last week I came back to My Insolence and found a sparkling juicy raspberry highlighted by the creamiest vanilla and a kind of toasty marzipan accord. The raspberry begins to fade as the day wears on, and the marzipan blooms, becoming cozy and sweet, like warmed milk. I swear I get violet from this as it wears on, though I don't see it in the notes. Insolence is still my favorite; I like that she can be a bit difficult, but My Insolence is perfect for days when I want to smell pretty. It's pleasant, easy to wear, and really well-formulated. Not overly sugary-sweet, no harsh edges. I was wrong to write this fragrance off.

I first tested HYPNOSE by Lancôme and I sniffed and sniffed and gradually started to like that very light, airy, very popular fragrance. I wanted to understand desperately WHY it was so popular. Then I wrote a review about it and then I tried this, MY INSOLENCE. And WOW! What a contrast! I didn't have to sniff hard to try to find all the notes, no, this is strong, heavy, sweet and soooooooo delicious! Sweet, so very sweet and gourmand. Warm, sweet raspberries and wonderful almonds. I could smell almondblossom in the opening, but the drydown brings caramelized salted almonds. Just a pinch of salt. Which makes it absolutely delicious. The raspberries are definitely warm raspberries, they lack the sourness of fresh ones. The tonkabean wraps it in a warm, balmy, slightly smoky, gourmand scent. In the drydown the patchouli becomes more prominent. Never overpowering, just more noticeble. It's a strong fragrance, yet it is light. It's gourmand but not heavy gourmand. It's like the best dessert ever made in this world Alas, I'm afraid I can't pull this off (too sweet). But by god, if I'll pass someone who wears this, I'll turn around and follow her mounth watering (and VERY jealous).

wow, i am amazed and pleasantly surprised. this is not only an elegant and sophisticated scent, but i think a very sexy one that announces femininity everywhere i walk which is why it will easily garner compliments. i can smell every single note mentioned in this: "sweet raspberry notes, with a lemon-cake-like citrusy trace, and then continues in a direction opposite than its predecessor Insolence. The almond blossom notes, intensive, sweet and pure jasmine, patchouli, Tonka beans and powdery vanilla, give this fragrance a soft impression." i am completely impressed, and what is most amazing about the whole thing is that i am writing this from my 1/3 oz, roll-on dupe that cost me 1.79! It has lasted me four hours so far, and not just lasted, i mean it smells like i JUST put it on, and my husband can easily smell it when he is within two feet of me. it is not overpowering, rather alluring, and he likes how it smells! one of the reasons i love to wear perfume so much is so that i can smell it on myself, and unfortunately nearly all the lovely perfumes i like i can't smell after an hour, so again, i am really impressed with this, and highly recommend this to the modern woman.

Beautiful floral-sweet & somewhat fresh fragrance. Happy, optimistic, sweet, fresh and still classy. It has the Guerlain sofisticated touch, a beautiful scent given by the raspberries and something that reminds me of candy going on... my guess is that the almond blossom combined with the vainilla are doing this to the fragrance. There is a hint of sugar hidden somewhere. I do not like super sweet scents, but this one is well balanced so you can still find the floral vibe. Pachouli and tonka beean are giving the depth to the fragrance, saving it from becoming just another pretty teen swet scent. Suitable for autum, spring and summer. I would wear something else during winter, but hey.. you do you. Appropriate for everyday use at the office, for a romantic date, a walk on the beach during the night with your special someone.. Not sure if this would last well for something like a wedding day, though the scent would fit nicely on a bride. In summary, it is the fragrance of a sofisticated young lady with a big smile on her face. The bottle is a masterpiece, a work of art woth to be admired. Love it !

I received this beautiful juice in a swap. It had been on my want list for ages due to the notes listed. Though violets aren't listed on Fragrantica it is most distinguishable as a flanker of the Insolence line - powdery violets - with the added touch of raspberry. I sprayed it on around 8am and it lasted well after midnight with medium silage. It is an intimate scent. Sexy, yet innocent... It reminds me of powdered sugar dusted violet truffles. The truffle itself tastes solely of powdered violets, rather than the white chocolate the violet flavor has been infused into. The creamy truffle melts in the mouth to reveal lusciously, sweet raspberry crème filling with an almond nut at its center. Scrumptious! Update: I sprayed two sprays on my cardigan before going to work in the morning. Later that evening after I changed into my pjs I hung up said cardigan. Two days later I could still get whiffs of My Insolence on the sweater!

Scored a full, well preserved 1.7 oz from 2007. Such a gorgeous fragrance! Feminine, soft and powdery but lush. Like the caress from a feathery powder puff! I get the raspberry in the opening not a lot of lemon. I also pick up Tonka and almond blossom and even though it’s not listed, something is reminding me of the Violet from the EDT and EDP but it light. The patchouli is barely noticeable. The powder isn’t cosmetic it’s more confectionary but this isn’t too sweet or cloying. I hear it’s close to French kiss and to me this smells like it could be in Guerlain’s higher end line. Edit: it’s been a few weeks and this gets better everytime I wear it. The dry down is absolutely delicious! I still sense the raspberry from the opening but the nuttiness from the Tonka and almond blossom and rich vanilla. It has excellent projection for a few hours then comes in closer and radiates above the skin. Stunning!

I finally got my hands on the discontinued and therefore, elusive My Insolence and it is so much better than what I had imagined it to be! I own Insolence EDP and I quite like it but there are times when it can be overwhelming. My insolence in my opinion is a softer, more enjoyable version of the EDP. I definitely pick up on violets here even though it is not listed, only, it is much, much softer and not nuclear as it is in the EDP. I can also detect the fruity but airy notes of raspberry and the citruses that bring freshness along with the slightly powdery almond blossom and a hint of sweetness from the vanilla. I disagree with those who say they don't see the resemblance of this perfume with others from the Insolence line, to me it is definitely related. Think of My Insolence as the least insolent, polite and very pretty cousin of the family. Get it if you can, I think it's the best one!

This opens with the slightest shot of citrus mixed with a moderate amount of sweet raspberry. Changing to add the almond, vanilla and soft Jasmine. Changes from a lighter fragrance to a bit more strong. I get very slight patchouli but it's minimal. No mistaking it's Guerlain after you get past the opening. Just a slight powdery feel. But in the dry down it's not noticeable. It has classically blended notes that flow so well together. Has some similarities to Insolance parfum. But other notes that differ greatly. Giving a great reason to own both. I notice this one is not powdery and has the jasmine. The original is more powdery. The jasmine in this one makes it more appealing to me. It's a fresh crisp fruity floral. It has moderate silage. Longevity is really good. A classic well done fragrance. It's very feminine, not girly......Guerlain.

I had to edit my review. I tried Insolence, while in a hurry and i thought it was My Insolence. Then i bought the latter online. At first i did't love it, because it was different than what i expected to be (Insolence). I'm wearing it for a week now and i like it quite a lot. It's deffinately good for cold weather. On me My Insolnce is a little smokier than Insolence, maybe because of the almonds. This combo is smelling more like cherries. My Insolence is raspberry-sweet, but more like a juice, while Insolence has that fresh-cut berries and violet smell at the beginning. The drydowns are very different. My Insolence stays fruitier and Isolence goes powdery in a typical Guerlain way. I like both perfumes, but Insolence is brighter, more sensual and kinda "i wanna breathe deeply" smell to my nose and is my favourite.

soft but strong! easy to wearing but stylish with good feedback at the same dignity.. -------------------------------------------- مای اینسولنس بدون شک از دلپذیر ترین و راحت پوش ترین عطرهای شیک زنانه در بستر وانیلی ملایم و شیرین کنترل شده ست که حال و هوایی مدرن شده و بی حاشیه تر از اینسولنس اصلی رو با خودش همراه داره اما اصلا وارد حریم اون نمیشه هرچند که حس پودری و هاله یی از روایح آرایشی زنانه رو به شکلی ممتاز و نرم درونش میشه یافت و برخلاف بسیاری از کارهای زنانه نت آزاردهنده یی رو در هیچ مرحله از نت ها از ابتدا تا انتها درش نمی بینید و خیلی ملایم اما با صلابت با پنبه سر میبره. فکر میکنم تولید این کار متوقف شده اما هنوز خیلی دست نیافتنی نشده به هرحال از نظر من کاریست مقبول و دوست داشتنی پخش بوی بسیار خوب و ماندگاری بسیار مناسب، پربازخورد و همه پسند در عین حال شیک و موقر

Hm. Someone down below said that this smells like a dryer sheet. That's about all I'm getting as well. I mean, it's nice. Kind of generic and doesn't really smell like a Guerlain to me. I really wanted to like this. I found a bottle that is returnable and that's what I'm going to do. Too many fragrances out there that I already know I love to hang onto one that is just nice. I have this problem where I feel like I have to TRY to my damnedest to like something if it's widely popular, expensive, rare like this is. I have the same problem with Hypnotic Poison EDP (not necessarily rare but...)... it's ok. But I wouldn't miss it if I didn't have it. I don't know...oh well...this is why I bought a returnable bottle because you just never know. YMMV though!!

My Insolence smells like powdery Pink marshmallows with raspberry drizzle. My boyfriend described it as "fresh"... It makes me feel hungry and the drydown has a fizzy quality. Good stuff. Pretty candy. It's kind of disgusting and obnoxious also (mega sweet tart loud), and yet I'm bizarrely hooked on it. Thanks to the lovely member who enabled me to sample this. Eta: I totally understand what people are referring to when they mention a masculine element here. It isn't a deal breaker necessarily, but there is a sharp "freshness" to the musk in the drydown which makes this not a safe blind buy, where it would have been otherwise. Definitely test first. Were it not for that sharpness, this fragrance would play out faithfully to how the notes read.

The last reviewer is spot on. Creamy raspberry and "haunting" florals. I have to mention that the raspberry is so prominent that I almost get a cough syrup note. Almost. Maybe raspberry syrup. It's still a really nice scent. You really need to like raspberry A LOT though. The raspberry notes do start to fade after maybe 20 minutes and the drydown is very sexy and yummy! And that delicate patchouli... omg it's amazing. One thing to know is the scent is VERY strong. A little goes a loooong way. I put 4 sprays on my wrist just because when I try a perfume I like to immerse myself in it in order to really experience it, and wow, I think I need to wash it off! VERY overwhelming. I think in smaller doses though, I would really enjoy this one.

You know, I wasn’t that big of a Guerlain believer...until now. I picked a second-hand bottle of this today, and I can’t stop sniffing my wrists. I don’t know if I’m nose blind to most of its notes, or if it’s just that delicate and well-blended of a fragrance, but while I can’t smell much, I love what’s going on. It’s super light and airy, ever-so-soft—powdery, but not suffocating—and I’m addicted. I slightly smell the almonds, but it’s a sweet, faint whisper, and I’m floored it actually has patchouli—a note that intimidates a lot of us—but it almost gives this diluted liqueur effect with the vanilla and tonka. Gosh, I don’t know what I was expecting out of this, having blind-bought it, but it’s got my mind chasing Guerlain unicorns.

Like it's said above, My Insolence opens with lots and lots of raspberry notes! Sweet and fruity with indeed a lemon-cake-like citrusy note. The citrus note however is really light and gone in a flash. Then comes in almond blossom, vanilla and tonka, making it even more sweet and a tad bit powdery. Patchouli is barely perceptible and jasmin I don't detect at all. It is a really nice and fluffy gourmand. It smells soft, but don't underestimate it's sillage as it's definitely not a shy fragrance. Longevity is also impressive and it lasts for days on clothes. A little mistake in Fragrantica's writing above: My Insolence does not come in a charming pink bottle. It comes in a clear bottle with charming pink liquid inside :) ♥♥♥♥♥

This fragrance has been discontinued, but it is still being sold here and there at a heavily discounted price, so grab a bargain while you can! It is a lighter and less head-spinning version of Insolence. As other reviewers have mentioned, although it is not listed in the notes, the powdery violet is still present here; the Guerlinade is also unmistakably part of the composition. Compared to another raspberry-infused Guerlain flanker - LPRN Couture - the raspberry is even more prominent in My Insolence, but well blended with other notes. While this scent is light and pretty enough to be worn by young girls, it is by no means a plain sugary water, akin to many celebrity fragrances, but a proper perfume.

I blind bought this perfume recently based on notes and sheer determination to find a Guerlain for me. I have to say I am very pleased. At first spray I get a lot of raspberry, you could say the raspberry note is linear in that it is in the dry down as well. It is soft and powdery and cirtusey sweet. Staying power is amazing probably because of the patchouli and tonka bean. Overall I find this fragrance very well done, a classy sweet. I find it smells a like like the la petit robe noir series from Guerlain, maybe a little less sour then couture and a little more rounded/powdery. This is a great perfume for a young woman and for the mature woman as well. Overall very pleased

This is Insolence with more depth. It is strong, bright and sugary like Insolence but with raspberries instead of violets and a powdery gourmand edge of vanilla, almond, and tonka bean. I am so upset this has been discontinued, it's such a gorgeous fragrance! Total mood lifter. Sweet without being cloying or juvenile but still fun and youthful in it's sparkling intensity. My Insolence is an EDT that somehow performs better than Insolence EDP. It projects mightily and lasts forever. This is the only fragrance I can spritz on my wrists and smell strongly until the next morning! Everything else fades away in a couple hours. Just love this pink beauty!

This was my signature for years! I bought "My Insolence" back in 2008. I absolutely fell in love with it and everybody loved it on me. It was very cool because nobody knew this frangrance here in Brazil, and I was wearing something unique. I could spray it in the morning to go to school and it would last all day. Now I don't feel the same way about "My Insolence". I changed a lot and now I'm searching for new frangrances. "My Insolence" is sweet, powdery, a little sexy and it lasts all day long. For me, it's a mix of makeup and classic style. It's perfect for teens and young adults. There will always be a room in my heart for it.

o yes i love such a powdery sweet strong but not heavy though still light but also a longlasting smell. makes me feel soapy clean and soft fresh. a signature scent. although i praise my insolence i do can imagine not everybody is going to be knocked off his feet by smelling it on a sample and it definitly doesnt fit everyone. but aint nobody cant deny on the right person you gotta love it. and i bet when you smell it again it immediatly remembers you of that person. its a beautifull fragrance and i have never been so sure that this is a perfume that fits me or i can better say reflects me

This is a sweet and pleasant scent, if Princess Peach wore a perfume, this would be it!(I guess the girly pink, elegant and sweetness is what makes me think of her?) My Insolence is very tart and can probably make you hungry for sweets. I smell lemon frosting and raspberry flavored cake with a rich raspberry compote drizzled on the dessert along with Raspberry Jam in the middle of the layers while your surrounded with powdery white flowers sitting in vases while you're savoring your your dessert on a sunny day :) good job Guerlain! This is a keeper for gourmand fans

my insolence is intense, longlasting, lingers nicely - whafts of lemony-berry-sweet, creamy, almond-milky vanilla/tonka swirling around me since hours... it's soooo nice!!! love it!!! not girly but cute and one to fall in love by an instant. compared to insolence this one is sweeter, not sour as insolence is, but it's less serious and less sophiticated. the aroma reminds me a lot to op blend but in a milkier, creamier way, while op blend has a rather juicy character. add. note: the hard to find jil sander sensation smells exactly the same but less intense rasperry.

My insolence is completely, irresistibly unquestionably feminine,both young and old; undoubtedly lovely! A gourmet smell it is! Feels like the budding and blossoming of a woman herself!Deceptively fruity and innocent at the beginning - like a young lass who turns into a woman - losing innocence but gaining the beauty and attraction of a maturing woman - beautiful and ephemeral like a flower, then, when you think nothing can surprise you the sweet sexiness of the base makes you relive a fantasy only My innocence evokes in you...

I like too much of My Insolence! Has an exit very happy of raspberry, with perfect balance between sweet and sour fruit. Later, will gaining a creaminess of almonds, with a floral freshness of jasmine and the sensuality of vanilla. Whenever I feel this perfume, comes a feeling of joy and a smile on the lips. Guess the mystery of My Insolence, his true insolence is the joy and the lack of vergomha to be happy! Indico for women who want to win a lighter mood, feel more secure ... Well, I believe in the power of fragrance!

Sugary and tart with some fruity/vanilla yumminess in their. It's fresh and sweet and really delicious. I was expecting something more powdery and the citrusy zing and floral freshness in there really surprised (and pleased me). It's like meeting a lady you know is named Myrtle but have never met before, and you assume she's going to be sweet and 75 or so and basically an adorable little old lady, but BAM nope it's a 25 year old hottie, with a wit as sharp as a tack, and you're totally charmed and completely shocked

Aaawh, My Insolence. I'm not a good girl but I'm not a bad woman either! Insolence nails those days when I want to tone down my naughtiness and take out my playfulness. It's sweet, but not too much on me, it's juicy but not nauseatingly so, it never feels forced, it smells like a naturally charming girl. I feel at home in this smell, nothing is strange, nothing smells unnatural, it's like the equivalent of me in a bottle. This is going to be my signature for spring and summer. Love it so, so much.

my insolence become "my"insolence!i love the sweet-creamy smell the raspberry with Almond Blossom and vanilla but in a same time som citrus freshnes too wich i adore and exactly becos off the fresh citrus smell, the power of sweet its not tis extremly sweet ,its just perfect light sweet.this fragrance its heavenly very feminine,warm,long long lasting fume next day too you can feel the smell off soft creamy like "beige"smell!I adore my perfume its super super Guerlain.

I've been after this for years and thanks to a swap my dream has come true. On my skin it smells like cough sweets and the annoying thing is I can't put my finger on what kind though, but upon spraying this I got hit with raspberries, almond blossom and patchouli. This comes off as clean and comforting to me it has a medicinal smell, the smell is by no means off putting it's nice in its own way. I'm glad to finally have My Insolence. I really, really love this.

My Undoing Gifted: Spring 2009 My Signature: Spring-Summer 2011 This was the intoxicating poison I wore along with Nivea deodorant that made my lover want to devour me whole. It was sensual. It was seductive. It was inevitably me. During that steamy, torrid affair and heart wrenching pain filled afterward, I never went back to my quarter filled bottle nor dare inhale it, for the passionate plundering memories would eat me alive. Forbidden Fruit.

This is quite a loud perfume. When I wear it I feel like it's saying to me "NOTICE ME! LOOK I AM WEARING PERFUME" because of the shrieky violets. I find violets insufferable in perfume, headache inducing. That being said, there is enough soft vanilla and almond blossom for me to like it. Sweet but sophisticated, it is a nice scent though I wouldn't wear it to work as it's not THAT sophisticated. I'd wear it when I'm feeling girly and cheeky.

I'm wearing it today - a quick start of spring, given the fact that we suddenly have ~20 degrees Celsius ;) And now I love it. It is so very Guerlain - sensual, powdery, mystical in general, but almonds are the most prominent today, quickly followed by vanilla and all of it is painted over a citrusy background. Backing power of tonka and a very small dosage of clean patch is also detectable. Comforting, warm, balmy. Love it.

This also reminds me of violets, powder, and cherry blossoms. Although the notes that are hit are very similar to Insolence EDT and EDP, it is quite different. The notes hit my nose at different times, and they seem more distinct and separate from each other whereas the original and the EDP all hit my nose at the same time. I love this as I have loved all the Insolences, but the EDT is still my favorite!

Floral fruity and gourmand creamy - a rich, complex mixture. A patchouli-hater's patchouli infused dream. Beyond tolerable for me, I actually adore this fragrance. Raspberries and cream, vanilla and citrus. A rich, creamy, fruity gourmand delight cut with a sharp citrus note. Finally, I've grown up and into a Guerlain wearer. My nose has finally graduated to adore the precious perfumes of Guerlain.

Sexy and sassy. It's a flirty alcohol blurred night, uninhibited dancing, too many social cigarettes, and a quick snog. That being said I don't smell the sweet fruitiness of this scent. It's more creamy, gourmand and almost musty. It's not a cute and fruity scent for a teenager, but a more complicated scent for a young adult. I wear this when I want to feel young and unashamedly demented. Love it.

This is a beautiful little fragrance!!! I didn't like it when I was testing it out. I wasn't allowing it to settle as I was too busy testing out another fragrance. At first this smell very much like an alcoholic beverage for about 15-20 but then it changes to a nice little raspberry/almond cookie on my skin. I like it very much and I'm happy with my purchase. I see a backup bottle in the future.

This is my absolute favourite scent - I would describe it as creamy sweet forest fruit with a soft sprinkling of clean powder. I have missed it so much since it was discontinued and have not found anything like it until yesterday. To get a similar heady soft fruity hit I would recommend the brand new La Vie Est Belle ELIXIR - definitely fills the gap left by this fragrance!

I think this is one of the best universal or mass appealing scents out there. It has bit of density and spunk with almond , a little tonka, and raspberry. Very feminine, but still a little sensual. Wear the edp on a first date or at night and have guys like me swooning ! 6 to 7 hours longevity, fair projection, good silage I personally prefer the edp

I smell a powdery floral with sweet marshmallows. I know marshmallows are not a note in this, but that is what I got. The "powder-ness" of this reminds me of my signature, Amour de Amandier. I love it! I'm the odd one out for I didn't smell any raspberry. Longevity is very good, about 6 hours on my skin. Thank you sweetiepea161616 for the sample.

This perfume is PERFECT! It is so sweet, so girly, it works for both day and night, the bottle is gorgeous and it is so long lasting! The pump is quite generous so you only need like 2 of them and it lasts forever! When I go out at night and come back, my whole room smells like it. This is hands down one of my favorite perfumes!

i love this a lot, Soft and heavenly I just got it and I felt lool funny for me to say this but its gorgeous and I thought I smelled like babies it get’s a lil powdery “ its defiantly more floral than fruity agree with “takemyhusband” floral” im not much of a sweet floral person but this is toke my breath away..

This perfume sure smells GIRLY :) :) :) It is very present, projects quite a lot. I smell the patchouli a lot on my skin. It reminds me a lot (funny enough) of the Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath and Body works. It is sexy and I love it. I will start wearing it and let's see what the comments will be :)

This is love, freedom and youth in a bottle. A romantic trip to Paris and a weekend in Venice.... This is the perfume of a beutiful, enchanting, young lady who knows her values. One of my most gorgeous perfumes. This is a very important present for me.

*Second Review* This is actually quite addicting! It's like that piece of chocolate you can't resist having every now and again. I feel yummy and girly when I wear it and yet it's also not childish. Very good.

I love it. It's delicate, yummy, adorable. Almond and vanilla are very present. It made me think about Lolita Lempicka - Le 1er Parfum or Diesel - Loverdose, but My Insolence is more sparkling.

This is my baby :-) very feminine, every time I wear it,get a lot of compliments. This frag has everything what I expect of perfum, really good longetivity and that "twist" :-)
