Olfactory Group: fruity-floral
this unconventional fragrance sweeps you straight into its heart: a new interpretation of violet.
She is a free spirit, independent, with a will of her own.... More: She is audacious and makes her own choices. She dances to a different tune, leaving an irresistible lingering trail in her wake…. Free to be herself, she disregards what others say and is spontaneous. She is bursting with life. She is magnificent. Assertive and truly herself, this utterly irresistible woman does not conform to stereotypes. She sometimes relies on instinct more then reason. Catch her if you can!

Description
Sparkling violets, glints of red berries and rays of iris combine in this exuberant, enveloping fragrance that is feminine yet bold, much like its muse, the beautiful Hilary Swank.

Bottle
A whirlwind, a flight, a pirouette... the Insolence bottle is a three step waltz.
Created by sculptor Serge Mansau, the object seems to be cut from light itself. Except for the Guerlain symbol on the stopper and the perfume’s name on a platinum circle, nothing comes between the glass and the radiance it captures. The three hemispheres (heavy to ensure balance) make a triple revolution on themselves.

It brings to mind a top, a swirling dress, an open flower...

Notes
Belonging to the fruity floral olfactive family, its 3 key notes illustrate the 3 facets of insolent femininity: Extrovert and daring with SPARKLING VIOLETS; Brilliant and sparkling with GLINTS OF RED BERRIES and Voluptuous and radiant with RAYS OF IRIS.

In a break away from the traditional pyramid structure, Insolence is contructed around the first olfactive spiral. Rather than a slow progression from head to base, the notes spiral and continue to circulate so that your favourite notes remain prominent from flight to finish.

More... Exuberant notes of violet combine with midnotes of red berries, including raspberry, used for the first time in a Guerlain scent. A hint of orange blossom and rose impart a striking intensity, while sensual iris - the house's signature iris - accords with tonka bean resins finish the scent, making Insolence the ultimate luxury fragrance.
