Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray is a fresh, smoky vetiver fragrance from the British perfume house Miller Harris, launched in 2016 and composed by perfumer Mathieu Nardin. The composition opens on a green-spiced top of elemi, cardamom, black pepper and bergamot; settles into a heart of iris, amber and lavender; and dries down on a smoky base of vetiver, oakmoss and tonka bean. The brief was a fragrance taking its direction from the forest floor.

The story behind Vetiver Insolent
Conceived around the imagery of forest floor — damp earth, mossy bark, smoke from a distant fire — Vetiver Insolent reads as a contemporary unisex vetiver. The bright spice opening (cardamom, black pepper, elemi) keeps the composition sharp; the iris-amber-lavender heart adds an elegant, slightly powdery softness; and the oakmoss-vetiver-tonka base delivers the long, woody-smoky trail.
Who it's for
Suited to wearers who love refined, smoky-woody niche fragrances — fans of Le Labo Vetiver 46, Frédéric Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire or Diptyque Vetyverio will find Vetiver Insolent a familiar match. Year-round wear with particular strength in autumn and winter; ideal for evening, work and refined occasions.
