Insolence Extrait is a polarizing fragrance with dedicated fans who love its powdery iris and violet composition, but it receives criticism from those who find these notes too soapy or artificial. The fragrance works well for those specifically seeking a traditional, powdery iris experience but may disappoint those seeking rooty or green iris characteristics.

Chergui is a well-crafted but divisive fragrance with a distinctive powdery tobacco profile that appeals strongly to its admirers but isn't universally loved. The community consensus leans positive overall, though most agree it's not a safe blind buy given its niche character and high price point, recommending sampling first, especially if coming from different fragrance families like Ambre Sultan.
