Vetiver Insolent

by Mathieu Nardin

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