    What do reviewers say about Raining Violets and Insolence?

    A violet cologne from 1972 that still smells current. Not because it's revolutionary, because it's honest. No projection wars, no identity crisis. Just the flower and the fresh air that made it.Raining Violets
    The name says one thing. The scent says another. Violet and raspberry up front, powdery and soft, then the whole Guerlain archive arrives, iris, sandalwood, that characteristic warmth.Insolence
