About
Insolence by Guerlain is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Insolence was launched in 2006. Insolence was created by Maurice Roucel and Sylvaine Delacourte. Top notes are Raspberry, Red Berries, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Violet, Rose and Orange Blossom; base notes are Iris, Tonka Bean, Resins, Musk and Sandalwood. Insolence is a new, bold fragrance for young women. The face of perfume is the movie star Hilary Swank, the Oscar-winner for the main role in the "Million Dollar Baby" film. This perfume will most probably surprise Guerlain perfume fans, as it is rather unusual, modern, and fruity-sweet. However, Guerlain is not afraid to surprise, and even provoke.There is a delicate and soft violet waiting in the top notes, followed by a red-fruit cocktail with raspberry domination. The heart is floral-sweet and composed of violet, rose, and orange blossom. At the end, sweet resins and balsams together have joined iris and tonka bean to round out the composition. The creators of Insolence are Maurice Roucel and Sylvaine Delacourte, and the half-sphere bottle with the rose-like stopper was created by Serge Mansau. The perfume was launched in 2006.
