I started with this perfume because its sweet scent brought back memories of the violet sweets I used to eat as a child. It had more nuances but was a rich, edible aroma. It’s that kind of fragrance people ask you about; I loved it so much that it became ubiquitous, and it was rare not to cross paths with someone wearing it. I think I went through two 100ml bottles, but when I finished the last one, I decided to switch to something more original. It’s a lovely, sugary perfume. I suppose it depends on the fashion or the moment, but these days I wouldn’t buy it again. It’s not that I don’t like it—it’s magnificent—but my relationship with it has ended. Longevity: 10/10. Sillage: 9/10. ❤️

I was gifted it recently and didn’t expect to like it so much. I find it slightly sweeter and powderier than the Insolence eau de toilette, with a more invasive violet. On the blotter, it smells more metallic (due to the iris), but on my skin, the sweetness of the violet combined with the berries intensifies, leaving a very caramelised and creamy scent. I think it’s ideal for evening wear or special occasions like a romantic date or dinner. It makes me think of flirting and wanting to dazzle someone at the start of a relationship. It’s quite intense, so don’t wear it in the heat or apply too much. It has a good trail and lasts forever on my skin (more than 12 hours). Worth trying if you’re a fan of the original Insolence.

I tried it and didn’t like it at all. I think it suits my 60-year-old grandmother perfectly; it smells of violets and rich sweetness, but I can’t stand that powdery scent. It never settled on my skin; I always perceived that horrendous powder smell that reminds me of my grandmother. I think it will suit her very well.

This fragrance is very rich, simple, and soft. The violet aroma is totally dominant. It conveys a sense of cleanliness, cheerfulness, and simplicity. Highly recommended.
