Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Mathieu Nardin. Vetiver Insolent opens with Bergamot, Pepper, Cardamom, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Amber, Iris, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Miller Harris's Vetiver Insolent carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

A truly gorgeous vetiver that takes the traditional earthy, smoky notes and elevates them with a modern, sweet-spicy twist. It's a bold, confident scent that knows its worth, perfectly balanced and utterly captivating, though some find it a bit too sweet and less vetiver-forward than the name implies.

About

Vetiver Insolent cracks open with a dynamic burst of spiced warmth from black pepper and cardamom, brightened by bergamot's zesty kiss. As it settles, a clean, powdery iris merges gracefully with calming lavender, while a creamy amber adds depth. The base delivers a rich, earthy vetiver, softened by sweet tonka bean and a mossy, grounding oakmoss, creating a velvety and sophisticated finish.
