"At first, it smells readily of a soft, hazy violet. Then something slightly darker and animalic enters the stage. As the perfume unfolds, it becomes both rounder and more strident depending on how you inhale it, lightly or deeply. It feels as if there were an upper layer of violet that was soft and slightly powdery and dreamy but that when you inhaled more deeply it revealed a foundation, a bottom layer that was more like an assertive chypre, tarter (you are getting my impressions in real time). Those are two very different atmospheres and it is intriguing that they seem to be juxtaposed at the same time rather than develop in succeeding stages. Now that reminds me that Guerlain did claim that the structure of this perfume was anything but the classical pyramid of notes timed to unfold each in turn."
So my darlings if you're in a mood for an old-fashioned violet perfume with a twist, do try the Guerlain Insolence.
