Vetiver Insolent
A bold woody‑spicy vetiver that contrasts fresh bergamot and cardamom with smoky, earthy depth. Pepper, elemi and aromatic lavandin lead into iris and amber, before Haitian vetiver, moss and tonka bean create a lingering, textured trail that feels modern yet grounded.

Vetiver Insolent
A bold woody‑spicy vetiver that contrasts fresh bergamot and cardamom with smoky, earthy depth. Pepper, elemi and aromatic lavandin lead into iris and amber, before Haitian vetiver, moss and tonka bean create a lingering, textured trail that feels modern yet grounded.
Scent Development and Character
Woody‑spicy vetiver with a fresh, green brightness and smoky, earthy depth. A vivid opening of bergamot, cardamom, black pepper and elemi leads into an aromatic heart of iris, lavandin and warm amber, settling into a grounded base of Haitian vetiver, tonka bean and moss.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Works well as a signature woody‑spicy scent for temperate weather. Its fresh, aromatic opening and moderate weight suit daytime and office wear, while the smoky vetiver base carries into evening without overpowering, especially in spring and autumn. Best in spring and autumn, with enough warmth for some winter use and freshness for cooler summer days. Sillage is Soft to moderate projection, forming a noticeable but contained aura rather than a large trail. Longevity is Moderate to moderately long‑lasting; typically remains noticeable for much of the workday without becoming overpowering.
Perfumer and Bottle
Released in 2016, this is presented as Eau de Parfum and credited to Mathieu Nardin. Rectangular clear glass bottle in the Miller Harris house style with black cap; front bears the Vetiver Insolent name with brand logo, typically paired with a dark outer box.
