Insignia by Thameen is a fragrance for women and men. Insignia was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Alexandra Carlin. Top notes are Whiskey, Fig and Bitter Orange; middle notes are Bay Leaf, Geranium and Damask Rose; base notes are Sandalwood, Vetiver and Suede. It opens with Whiskey, Fig. The heart moves into Bay Leaf, Geranium. In the dry-down, Sandalwood, Vetiver give it its base. From the way people describe wearing it, this comes across best as long-lasting on skin and clothing; too forceful in heat or with a heavy hand on sprays; refined, classic british aromatic style.

Taken together, the feedback points to a scent that feels easy to understand on first wear, but still depends heavily on whether the greener, sweeter, or sharper nuances fit your preferences.
