Hamidi Insignia Or is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Insignia Or opens with Bergamot, Pepper, Nutmeg, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Balsam, Cedar, Iris, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli. Hamidi's Insignia Or carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, shifting from spicy and fresh to a deep, dark leather and oud. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a bold statement that demands attention.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It kicks off with a sharp, invigorating burst of pepper and bergamot, spiced up with saffron and nutmeg. As it settles, a powdery iris emerges, blending seamlessly with resinous labdanum and grounding cedar. The dry down is where Insignia Or gets serious, unveiling a rich, animalic leather and oud accord, underpinned by earthy patchouli and creamy sandalwood.
