Guerlain commits to the bee, sentinel of the environment

The fragrance of uncompromising love

Insolence Eau de Toilette is a transfiguration, a totally new and yet familiar flower that will whisk you away to a world full of daring, irreverence and freedom. Embrace your perfume in the mythical Bee Bottle. Designed in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain for the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoléon III, this precious bottle is adorned with the symbol of the Empire: the bee, which is now La Maison Guerlain’s emblem.

A legend of love without limits, powdered with violet

A sensual potion, this floral, fruity fragrance immediately transports you to the heart of the perfume. Combining red fruit notes with feminine violet and orange blossom, alongside velvety and luxurious iris, its accord is sultry and voluptuous.

VIOLET ACCORD

As violet is a “mute” flower that doesn’t release an extract, our violet accord is an original recreation of violet’s floral, powdery scent made by Guerlain perfumers.

IRIS

A precious material, the iris deserves its nickname as the "blue gold" of perfumery, exhaling a refined, faceted fragrance with powdery, woody accents.
At Guerlain, iris is a key ingredient of “Guerlinade”. Across time periods, this flower has made its mark on some of the House's most legendary compositions.

ORANGE BLOSSOM

Orange blossom, obtained via extraction to create an absolute, gives off sunny, soft and sensual floral notes.

HOUSE SECRETS

The Eau de Toillette Insolence showcases an overdosed, high-voltage violet: a triumphant violet that registers at the opposite end of the spectrum from the shy whisper usually used to treat this flower in half-shades and shadows. This dazzling violet rubs shoulders with a timeless, chic and feminine iris. Insolence also initiates Guerlain's first use of berries in a composition.

A LEGENDARY BOTTLE

Designed by Raymond Guerlain in 1912, 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.
