Aroma "Insolens Guerlain": a description given by the manufacturer
Perfumers of the Guerlain fashion house first used berry notes in this composition. First of all, it is juicy sweet raspberries, which appears before us from the very first notes. It is complemented by other red berries, as well as the sourness of citrus fruits - lemon and bergamot. But then a moment passes, and the note of the heart is revealed. Violet! In the language of perfumers, this flower is associated with tenderness, shyness. But at Guerlain Insolens, the violet sounds loudly. No halftones! Sweet rose and orange blossom - orange blossom are interwoven into a luxurious smell. Following the fruit and berry and floral notes reveals the base composition. In it, the first violin is played by a passionate and at the same time mysterious iris. It is complemented by woody sandalwood accords in combination with tonka bean, resins and musk. The manufacturer attributes the composition to floral-fruity with a focus on orientality.
Flaners
The first light saw the Guerlain Insolens toilet water. Since everything successful in the marketing world requires continuation, a year later the world introduced the younger sister of the fragrance - “May Insolens” (translated as “my audacity”). In this perfume, the emphasis was shifted from violet to raspberry. In addition, the creators woven vanilla and almonds into a berry-floral bouquet. In two thousand and eight, the Guerlain house made its fans happy with two new products at once. It was the same “Insolence”, only in the concentration of eau de parfum and the emphasis on passionate iris, violet and tonka bean and “Insolence shining release” - a copy of the older sister, only with the addition of very small sparkles. They leave a beautiful glow on the skin. In 2009, the company released two more new products. These were Insolans O Glacy and Blooming Guerlain. In the first composition, iris is glorified, and in the second, emphasis is placed on violet. Eau de toilette and Perfume “Insolens” are enclosed in an original bottle created by designer Serge Manso. The ideal truncated sphere is crowned with a neck and cap reminiscent of a half-opened rose with vignettes of a perfume house at the very top. Eau de toilette is pale pink , and perfumed - lilac.
For whom the masterpiece “Guerlain Insolens” was created
The description of the fragrance given by the manufacturer makes us think that a complex composition is more suitable for mature ladies. But this is not so. It’s not for nothing that Hilary Swank, the actress who played in the movie “Million Dollar Baby”, chose the perfume house as the face of the fragrance. With this marketing step, Guerlain wanted to attract very young girls to his products. And for the sake of young creatures in the composition, sweet berry and perky juicy citrus tones sound. In addition to Mitsuoko and Parure, Guerlain never used fruit ingredients. But the simplicity of Insolans is apparent, illusory. Girl's raspberry, the smell of powder and orange is just a screen, hiding the more restrained but passionate notes of iris and violets. And therefore, the composition "Insolans Guerlain" reviews are called out of age. Eau de toilette is equally suitable for both stylish ladies and young students.
Associations that cause aroma
What is the uniqueness of this perfume composition? In the classical pyramid, the upper notes first appear, then the core of the aroma is revealed, which is replaced in the end by basic tones. At Guerlain Insolens, all components continue to sound. The chord of key notes opens in a spiral. Berries and bergamot with lemon just lose their sweetness and harshness, but do not disappear. They merge with heart notes, woven into a train, but continue to sound. And this revolutionary insolence evokes associations about the high-tech architectural style and its embodiment - Dubai. The fragrance will certainly fall in love with women who like liberated fantasies. Who believe that modesty adorns unless those who have no other virtues. Well and accordingly, perfumes will be shocking for those who have already developed a clear and unchanging under any circumstances concept of what generally accepted moral standards are.
When to wear a fragrance
The deliberate insolence and some artificiality of the Guerlain Insolans suggest access to the general public. The fragrance is designed to shock, surprise, attract and bewitch. Reviews do not recommend applying it for dinner with your family or for gatherings with girlfriends. Theater, cocktail party, social event - there the Insolens from Guerlain will be appropriate. Accordingly, a dress on the floor and with an open back or other similar outfit, the same teasing and a little provocative, will suit him. This fragrance is constantly in suspense. And it is suitable only for those women who have an innate sense of proportion, because insolence can hurt others. The aroma manifests itself most fully in the cold season - in winter and autumn.
Durability
You can love or hate the perfume of Guerlain Insolens. Reviews coincide in only one. Even those who claim that the “Insolence” from “Gerlen” causes suffocation and headache in them admit that this aroma is very persistent. Even the washed clothes, in spite of the powder and conditioner-balm for clothes, retains the elusive smell of violets and iris. On the skin and hair, the fragrance also holds firmly, like a tin soldier. And this is toilet water! "But what to expect from the concentration of perfume?" - users are asking a question.
Another quality of “Insolence” is that it is recognizable. The fragrance is difficult to confuse with other perfumes. He is unforgettable. Therefore, haters of “Insolence” will immediately begin to roll their eyes and complain of a migraine, exclaiming: “Oh, this Insolence! Ah, I am suffocating and will die now! ”Do not be alarmed or taken seriously. On account of the house "Gerlen" there is not a single case of death.
Volumes and prices
Guerlain Insolens eau de toilette is produced in bottles in the shape of a beautiful hemisphere. Their volume is one hundred, fifty and thirty milliliters. There is still a bottle of 20 ml. Its design is different from the "full measures". The spray bottle is elongated and, as the reviews say, looks like a tequila cup. The neck of the bottle covers metal lace, and the composition is crowned with a simple golden cap. This last sample is made by the manufacturer for handbags. But the persistence of the aroma is such that there is no need to apply eau de toilette during the day. This volume is better to buy for those users who are not sure how perfume will “sit” on them. Guerlen's Insolens toilet water prices are pretty high. A bottle of thirty milliliters will cost you two thousand six hundred rubles.
Original and fakes
The high price means that many scammers even fake the Insolen Guerlene toilet water. Reviews strongly recommend buying perfumes only in trusted perfume stores. Although the pretentiousness of the bottle itself is already called upon to protect toilet water from a fake. However, you need to check the pink box with a white circle in the middle for packaging integrity. The guarantee of the authenticity of the aroma is the cap. The bottle body, its neck and cap are three hemispheres merged into a single harmonious composition. Logos of the Gerlen house on the original are made perfectly.
