Insolence Extrait vs Mon Guerlain

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.

The r/fragrance community views Mon Guerlain positively overall, praising its comforting vanilla scent and broad appeal. However, some users experience disappointing longevity and projection, and it's often dismissed as an overly safe, mainstream fragrance rather than something distinctive. Many consider it a good blind buy at discounted prices.
