Guerlain Insolence Eau de Parfum, 75ml at John Lewis & Partners

For almost two centuries, Guerlain has been a story of fragrance and beauty, legacy and creation, daring and exploration, heritage and the future. Our roots enrich the present and inspire the future.

With more than 1,100 fragrances created since 1828 by five generations of perfumers, our heritage is unique. The Legendary fragrance collection pays tribute to this exceptional heritage.

Insolence is part of Guerlain’s Legendary fragrance collection. A collection made of emblematic fragrances, composed for more than a century by 5 generations of Perfumers. These mythical pioneer perfumes compose a unique olfactive library, that the Maison Guerlain endeavours to preserve.

Insolence is a spark in the eyes, an intrepid smile. Insolence is a careless grace, an ironic elegance, an amused silence. Created in 2006, Insolence celebrates this surprising, free and daring femininity. An impertinent creation with powder hints which is built around a floral violet and iris duo with orange blossom.

Designed by Georges Chevalier, its iconic 'inverted heart' bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
