A unisex Eau de Toilette from Lalique, L'Insoumis opens on bergamot, basil and rum, before revealing lavender, clary sage and black pepper. Vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss anchor the composition in a woody, earthy sillage.
Basil, fresh and anise-like, mingles at the top with rum spiced with cinnamon and ginger and bergamot, fruity and sweet: the anise-like freshness contrasts with the sweet softness of the fruit.
Lavender, floral and camphoraceous, joins black pepper, spicy and piquant, in the heart: the camphoraceous freshness of one answers the piquancy of the other.
Vetiver, woody and smoky, meets patchouli, earthy and damp, and oakmoss, earthy and musty, in the base: the damp earthiness of the patchouli blends with the mustier earthiness of the moss.
