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.

Application Tips
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.

“I compose for the skin, not the blotter. A fragrance only truly exists when it meets warmth.”
Maurice Roucel is a master perfumer at Symrise whose prolific career spans five decades and hundreds of fragrances. Born in Saint-Girons in the French Pyrenees, he is celebrated for his ability to create scents of extraordinary sensuality — compositions that caress the skin and linger in memory. His masterpieces include Guerlain's Insolence, Lancôme's Trésor Midnight, and the landmark 24 Faubourg for Hermès. Roucel works with an almost musical sensibility, building fragrances in waves of tension and release.
