The crisp snap of a green apple sorbet melting on the tongue in an elegant Parisian patisserie, where citruses and berries mingle with delicate florals.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009, Insolence Eau Glacée by Guerlain is an icy-cold twist on the original Insolence fragrance. Created by perfumer Randa Hammami, this Floral Fruity scent captures a refreshing burst of green apple sorbet and luminous citruses, offering a feeling of ultimate refreshment. The joyful accords of red berries are complemented by luxurious iris flowers and velvety violet petals, creating an accentuated freshness that engages all senses and lifts your mood.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the icy freshness. The top notes of green apple and citrus will fade within a couple of hours but the heart and base notes of iris and violets will linger for a more refined, lasting scent.
