Insolence is a gorgeous fragrance, worth shouting about.

I am not always swayed by celebrity endorsements so I often skip pages of perfume advertisements when a celebrity is involved, which is probably why I missed Hilary Swank advertising Insolence by Guerlain. I could smell something gorgeous when I was in a rest room last week and had to find out what the sweet scent was. Needless to say the candy, feminine scented perfume that oozes confidence and has an ever lasting smell was in fact Insolence by Guerlain.

Test the fragrance at selected House of Fraser’s, The Perfume Shops and Boots or purchase the 30ml gift set at www.boots.com for £27 including a 75ml body lotion or simply the 30ml fragrance alone for £26.
