How does the EDP compare to the EDT version?+−
The EDP is generally considered the stronger of the two. It has more prominent iris and sandalwood in the base, giving it more depth and complexity, and its sweetness, while still present, is less in-your-face than the EDT opening. If you find the EDT too sharp or candy-like on the opening, the EDP's richer, woodier character tends to round it out. Most who've tried both end up preferring the EDP for longevity and overall balance.
Is Insolence appropriate for everyday wear or is it better saved for evenings?+−
The combination of bold projection and candied sweetness makes this one better suited to evenings, nights out, and social occasions rather than an office or neutral daily setting. It's not a quiet, background fragrance — it fills a room. That said, violet enthusiasts do wear it year-round for leisure and casual outings where the boldness is welcome rather than intrusive.
What seasons work best for Insolence?+−
Spring and fall are the sweet spots. The cheerful, fruity-floral character works well in spring, and the warmer, woodier dry-down is well-suited to cooler fall evenings. Summer can amplify the sweetness in a way some find overwhelming in heat. Winter is workable for those who enjoy a powdery warmth. It's not a summer fragrance in the traditional sense.
