A Helpful Examination Of The Guerlain Insolence Scent

When shopping for skin care products and cosmetics, high on the list of a typical woman’s beauty requirements is the pleasant scent of a great perfume.

Guerlain Insolence is a brand fragrance, buoyed by what is considered by many to be the world’s greatest perfume manufacturer. Insolence was first released by Guerlain in 2006 and created by Maurice Roucel, one of France’s most famous perfume designers. But, does it live up to the Guerlain name? For a high level review of Insolence, keep reading.

Price Point

Like almost all the Guerlain fragrances, Insolence comes with a standard $80 to $100 price tag for a 50 ml bottle. It’s comparable to the brand’s other aromas and fits in well on most perfume dealer and department store shelves. Deals can typically be found online, but buyers should only purchase from trusted retailers.

The Scent

According to the product literature, the Insolence brand fragrance contains hints of red fruit pulp, raspberry, violet, iris, tonka bean, musk, sandalwood, rose and orange blossom.

Because the target market for Insolence was a younger customer, Guerlain went with a fresher, brighter fragrance than their usual musky trademark. However, that essence of Guerlain is still there, wafting in the background and undertones.

Reputation

Guerlain is a respected perfume manufacturer for a reason - they make quality perfumes that smell beautiful and last for a lengthy period of time.

If you’re a traditional Guerlain wearer, you are no doubt somewhat turned off by the marketing for Insolence. With its flashy ads and celebrity (Hilary Swank) spokesperson, the perfume may come off as lower quality or less sophisticated. However, the scent is amazing and the quality even better. This is not a teeny-bopper aroma.

When to Wear

Thanks to its musk and sandalwood undertones, Insolence is a wonderful evening and night-time fragrance. The light scent is well suited to warm summer nights on the waterfront or in the backyard and has a touch of evening with just a splash of playfulness.

Where to Find It

Like all Guerlain products, you can most likely find Insolence at the Guerlain or fragrance counter at your local department store (Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, etc). You can also find the product at Sephora, Parisian and other perfume stores.

If you plan to purchase Insolence from an online discount retailer, buy from a reputable seller. Counterfeit perfume is everywhere, so be sure to buy from a trusted retailer.

A Concluding Thought

Though Insolence brand fragrance does fall prey to a recent trend of trying to appeal to a younger market, Guerlain has still maintained tradition with its trademark deep base scents. Insolence may have a few high notes and just a touch of acidity, but the enduring scent is one of sophistication and strength.
