The story behind the bottle.
Insignia by Thameen was launched in 2022 and is a fragrance for women and men. Crafted by perfumer Alexandra Carlin, it opens with the bold, fresh spicy aroma of bay leaf and whiskey, which cuts through the bitterness of orange. The heart introduces a subtle floral tension between geranium and damask rose, adding depth to its aromatic base notes of sandalwood and vetiver. The composition is anchored by suede, lending an earthy warmth that persists throughout.
Insignia's aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure the woody base has time to develop. It pairs well with evening wear but also offers a grounded presence during daytime activities.
