Insolence Eau Glacée

Insolence Eau Glacée is a 2009 limited edition that strips the original Insolence down to a frosty, fruit-laced violet. The top notes are a vivid quartet: violet and iris, green apple, red berries, and citruses. There are no listed heart or base notes, so the composition reads as a linear, bright floral-fruity accord from first spray to drydown. The dominant violet is unmistakable, supported by a powdery iris texture and a juicy, tart fruitiness that keeps it from feeling heavy. This is not the syrupy, candied Insolence of later flankers; it is cooler, more transparent, and more citrus-forward. Collectors who love violet perfumes with a crisp edge will find it rewarding, especially if they enjoy powdery florals that never turn cloying. It suits spring and summer daytime wear, and its light sillage makes it office-friendly. Because it is discontinued, bottles are sought after by Guerlain completists and violet devotees alike. If you already own the original Insolence, Eau Glacée offers a distinctly fresher, more effervescent interpretation worth comparing side by side.

2009年推出嘅限量版，將原版Insolence嘅紫羅蘭主調換成冰涼果香版本。前調由紫羅蘭、鳶尾、青蘋果、紅莓同柑橘組成，冇列明中調同基調，所以整體係線性、明亮嘅花香果調。紫羅蘭氣息最突出，鳶尾帶嚟粉質感，生果同柑橘令香味清爽唔甜膩。氣質輕盈透亮，適合春夏白天使用，辦公室都唔會太搶。因為已停產，特別受Guerlain收藏家同紫羅蘭愛好者追捧。如果你鍾意粉質花香但怕太濃，呢支值得一試。
