Fruity at first, then floral and too bulky at the end
Let's continue with another vintage miniature: now it's the turn of L'Insolent Eau de Toilette. I actually found it quite pleasant at the beginning, but in the end the smell was too earthy, almost musty. The longevity is good at 9 to 11 hours and the sillage is also convincing.
The top note starts off very fruity, sweet and citrusy thanks to bergamot, mandarin, pineapple, peach and blackcurrant. The heart note offers a sea of flowers consisting of ylang-ylang, jasmine blossom, tuberose, garden carnations and lily of the valley. Thanks to coriander, it also smells a little greenish with a slightly spicy undertone. The base smells resinous-woody-oriental like cedar and rosewood, but also very earthy and rooty like oakmoss and patchouli.
Unfortunately, I can't detect any vanilla notes, perhaps these have disappeared due to the age of my miniature.
