What do reviewers say about Violette and Insolence?
Fragonard's Violette is the antidote to trying too hard. Powdery violet, yes, but anchored by blackberry and musk so it reads as effortless rather than precious.Violette
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
