Fragrance character
Insolite is a men's fragrance by Tom Frank, released in 2018.
It is an expressive fruity-woody composition with green, citrus and white-floral facets: it opens bright and juicy, then gradually takes on a more composed, confident character.
Insolite is created for those who enjoy a fragrance that makes an impression and becomes part of their personal style.
Within the DNA of this young American house from Miami, this release feels especially fitting, combining sun-drenched fruity energy with a striking woody base.
The fragrance does not aim for quiet neutrality—on the contrary, it leaves a vivid impression, is easily noticed by others and suits a man who appreciates attention to detail.
Development on the skin
Insolite makes a fresh, crisp and dynamic first impression.
The juicy fruity facet of apple and pineapple meets the slightly tart greenness of blackcurrant leaf, while bergamot gives the composition a clean citrus lift.
At the heart, the fragrance becomes softer: wild berries lend it a rich, subtly sweet depth, while jasmine smooths the transition to the base with a light floral touch.
The drydown rests on a woody accord, keeping the fruity theme from turning dessert-like.
The base makes the scent drier, fuller and more mature, leaving behind a confident woody-fruity trail.
This development makes Insolite appropriate both during the day, when you want to add energy to your look, and in the evening, when a more noticeable fragrance statement is called for.
Sillage and application
Insolite is said to have very strong sillage, so moderation is especially important.
Start with one or two sprays on the skin—for example, on the neck or wrists. This is usually enough for the fragrance to unfold expressively without overwhelming the space.
For clothing, one light spray from a distance is best, as fabric can noticeably amplify and prolong the fruity-woody accord.
Thanks to the contrast of juicy fruit, greenery and woods, the fragrance performs well in cool weather, during transitional seasons and for evening outings, though a lighter application also makes it suitable for a warm day.
Insolite will especially appeal to fans of bold, modern masculine compositions with a pineapple-woody profile.
For comparison, you can try Creed Aventus: the fragrances share an expressive fruity-woody concept, although their character and development nuances differ.
