Vetiver Insolent
Vetiver Insolent by Miller Harris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, black pepper, elemi and cardamom, moves into iris, lavender and amber and dries down to vetiver, tonka bean and oakmoss. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
