I remember seeing this bottle but it's not an immediately accessible design for a man to pick up & try, well not this man anyway, but I have sampled the bee bottle now. I'm assuming this one has been discontinued in this format? Anyway, This is a violet dominant fragrance as the colour of the perfume would suggest and it's very vibrant, yet restrained and actually fresh. This clearly resembles violet fragrances I like but I was struck by how different it is too. The opening is very fresh but no sharpness of citrus just that, mellowing into 'realistic' Iris/violet and not one that I found particularly powdery if I'm honest, Insolence is certainly no Violetta by Penhaligon's. Funnily enough I've tried another modern violet/iris this week and yet again I've been surprised at just how changeable they can be. A lovely perfume but a bit reserved for my taste.
