The review

On paper, Energetic is an outside bet if you want Insolence for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Insolence's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

It is $89 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on red berries, bergamot and green notes, turns to violet, orange blossom and rose, and settles into iris, vanilla and Tonka Bean. That is the brief Energetic is working from.

Top

  • red berries
  • bergamot
  • green notes

Heart

  • violet
  • orange blossom
  • rose

Base

  • iris
  • vanilla
  • Tonka Bean
Candied violet and red berries over powdery iris; loud, retro-sweet and unapologetic.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
