Insolence vs Angel

The r/fragrance community views Insolence positively as an excellent sweet violet fragrance with authentic Parma Violet candy notes. While the EDP offers good longevity and performance, the EDT is lighter but weaker lasting. The main criticism is its dated aesthetic and Guerlain's repeated discontinuations, though it remains a solid recommendation for violet enthusiasts seeking a powdery, nostalgic scent.

Angel is a polarizing fragrance with a devoted following for its original formula, but the current reformulation disappoints many fans. While some appreciate the sweeter variants like Angel Nova, others find the modern version overly peppery, harsh, and patchouli-forward compared to the beloved original.
