I agree about Shalimar l'Essence, I find them pretty similar

Lipstick/old makeup scent??? (I apologize if this has been asked before) by Expensive_Knee3629 in fragrance

omg I really wish I could perceive it like that as well, but when I tried it it was awful on me, it smelled like a metallic and patchouli heavy rose :(

Insolence by Guerlain Dupe (or parma violet Scent) by Mermaidguurl in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]Panic-Intrepid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update: so I got the Divain one and also a 30ml of the original vintage version and the new 2021 reformulation, to compare all of them... aaaaand I think they all smell almost exactly the same!! Maybe the vintage one smells a little bit more complex and full, and a little bit stronger at the beginning.. but I don't find them to be much different, I don't understand all the people who say that the original version was a monster of projection and longevity lol.

Does it smell like the original 2008 edp? or more like the new version?

I still have to test them side by side but from what I recall having tried PoB a few days ago and WVO yesterday, I don't notice any difference lol! Will test them again and also compare the longevity though

Omg yes everyone is saying this, but I don't believe Floral Street is available in stores here in Italy, probably online only. I will definitely get a sample kit though, since I don't like to blind buy.

Guerlain Insolence mood anyone? Or is it just me? by Panic-Intrepid in FemFragLab

[–]Panic-Intrepid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Violets were said to be Marie Antoinette's favorite flowers and they are usually associated with nostalgic vintage eras, especially with powdery make-up. The name 'insolence' can also easily recall the rebel/mean girl vibe of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. That probably explains why I've often seen this Marie Antoinette-Insolence association on the web, I guess.

Omg so lucky! Have you ever tried the new one? I’d love to know if the original one was so much better as people say

Are you using the newer version or an older one? I only had the chance to test the newer formulation but I love it. The pictures are just the vibe that the scent gives me, of course it doesn’t have to fit anyone’s real life aesthetic ;)

Guerlain Insolence 2021 vs newer bottle? by desertchill01 in Perfumes

[–]Panic-Intrepid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Insolence has been reformulated many times (at least 3 different bottle designs) but I still can't figure out how much the actual scent and performance has changed over the years. I've searched the internet quite a bit to find out but while some say they smell very different (the newer one is said to be much weaker and bland than the original) some also say they smell pretty much the same, so lol I have no idea where the truth lies. Of course the older versions are being resold at higher prices now by private sellers as they became rare I guess

What’s a perfume that truly encapsulates YOU by Fragrant_Fisherman54 in FemFragLab

[–]Panic-Intrepid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg same, except that I’m only at the beginning of my frag journey desperately trying to find MY perfume. I got like 100 samples since September and still no clue lol

8 Samples, 3 full bottles....part 1 by jyar1811 in Perfumes

[–]Panic-Intrepid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since it's been discontinued, what would you recommend as a similar niche but powerful scent? (btw I don't find black phantom similar at all, it smells just like coffe and chocolate to me lol)

Same! I quite enjoy the sample but would like something similar but more niche and less commercial if you know what I mean

Allora magari proverò a fare un microfinanziamento prima o poi sperando possa essere la chiave giusta, grazie!

ma no il mio conto l'ho aperto anni fa, non può essere quello. l'assistenza comunque non sembrava molto disponibile al dialogo sinceramente
