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 a Statement verdict, a woody-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.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

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.
