The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Guerlain and crafted by perfumers Maurice Roucel and Sylvaine Delacourte, Insolence Limited Edition is a floral fragrance that marries powdery sweetness with fruity freshness. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes of lemon and bergamot, quickly giving way to the soft, delicate scent of violet and rose. These florals are supported by rich tonka bean and musk in the base, creating a warm and enveloping finish. This fragrance is an embodiment of Guerlain's legacy of using luxurious materials to create memorable scents.
Apply two sprays to pulse points; the lemon and bergamot top notes are bright but fleeting. The floral heart and powdery base will develop over time, making this fragrance ideal for daytime use that carries into the evening.
