Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The scent is undoubtedly beautiful, but for me, it turned out to be overly sweet. The longevity is simply amazing
4/5

What a shame that this fragrance leaves nothing but bitter memories. The powdery note, though rich, seems too intrusive. The longevity is there, of course, but the sillage... it's as if it drags something unbearable behind it. On winter evenings, when you crave coziness, it only adds to the melancholy. The spicy nuance, which should warm you, actually only brings sadness
4/5

The fragrance is simply magnificent! Powdery notes and violet create an incredible atmosphere. The sillage is absolutely breathtaking. but there's one catch, for me, it's too sweet. I imagine it on a confident brunette with a stunning figure and luxurious hair 🌸

The powdery fragrance is truly rich, and it suits many. This isn't the kind of powder associated with grandmothers. But the sweetness, in my opinion, is excessive. I can't quite pinpoint what causes it. SWEETNESS!

This fragrance used to be one of my favorites, but now. it raises doubts. It seems like there's too much synthetic in it. Perhaps it's due to fakes currently on the market, or maybe the formula simply changed over time. 🤔

The scent is really bright and fruity, and the longevity is excellent. I really liked it

There's clearly propolis here, and I don't understand where it came from, but I absolutely don't like that note. On the other hand, the longevity is top-notch, and the sillage is pleasing too 👃

I didn't want to miss the chance and ordered a small volume for myself, just in case the fragrance disappears or gets repackaged into another bottle, and I really like this one. It's a going-out fragrance, so 30 ml will last me an eternity. It smells absolutely amazing, such magnificent violets only found in Insolence 🌸

What an amazing and rich fragrance! It has violet powder, sandalwood, and even notes of dried berries. It smells so strong it might even cause a headache 😲
5/5

I tried the new release of the fragrance, which now comes in a bee-adorned bottle. The scent of violet powder just fills the space, it's sweet and rich. This perfume is truly delicate and very feminine
5/5

The fragrance is simply incredible, rich and captivating! It's quite hard to distinguish individual notes, but the quality is top-notch. The sweetness here is languid, with a light powdery nuance, and the fruity notes just burst with brightness!!! The longevity and sillage are also impressive, leaving an unforgettable trail
5/5

What a gorgeous and sweet fragrance! Simply delightful! On me, it revealed powdery notes of violet and iris, and tonka adds such an indescribable chic. Longevity is a whole other story, it lasts like a charm! A true feast for the senses!

I don't smell apple, and it's a shame because I love it! But violet is bright as the sun. The perfume isn't for everyone. The bottle is gorgeous, the color screams about itself!
3/5

The smell of withered violets, slightly gloomy and sullen. This scent, in my opinion, is more suitable for introverts; it's not intrusive and doesn't scream for attention. But, honestly, it clearly lacks vital energy )
3/5

A new release, and what do we see? This matte bottle with bees certainly looks nice, but the scent. Lots of violet, yes, and orange blossom is also felt, but where are the fruits? They're simply not there! The sweetness is sickly, powdery, and all this only causes irritation. Someone mentioned propolis here, and yes, there's something in common, but that doesn't make the scent better. Overall, a very standard Guerlain scent, with their usual longevity and sillage, which, frankly, I'm already tired of
