What does My Insolence smell like?

Raspberry comes first, then almond blossom and jasmine in the heart push it in a floral direction. The base of patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla sweetens as it dries, and the powdery side becomes clearer.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall, and it suits daytime, leisure and evening wear. Voters mostly read it as feminine and modern. Lancôme La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum and Profumum Roma Meringa have a close profile.
