A new favorite perfume Guerlain Insolence

I just bought the Shimmering Body Milk and Eau de Toilette and am totally bowled over by this fragrance. I've worn Guerlain L'Heure Bleu for many years, and Shalimar for a couple of years, and this fragrance stands on its own among them. When I sampled it in the store tonight my first thought of its structure is that it is like a kiss. Later I read the reviews and see that it has some sort of spiral structure; well, that is what I feel, like the consistency of a good wonderful old fashioned kiss on the lips. The fragrance itself is wonderful, and I am very partial to violets, red fruits, and iris. The bottle is great. Whether it is intentional or not it reminds me of a European multi-tier fountain. Created by Maurice Roucel; the first time I've bought one of his fragrances that I know of... wonderful!
