Outrageous! (2007)
by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle

I hate to disagree with My Hero, Vibert, but this one is Weird and Wonderful. Caramelized drycleaned lychees is the overall impression. Or Bond No 9 Chinatown re-arranged with a squarer jaw. Also like a modernized L’instant pour homme. The drydown shapes up into a really erectile aroma, an electrified rosewood zither of ticklish wood. I wish the galangal kick of the opening, the Caipirinha, could stick around longer though the nose-dive into what follows is spectacular, with its lagoon of cachous. The Missoni whose gestalt it shares is airier and less insidiously plump, more spruce that’s the word. Was reminded of Cipresso di Toscana and even more of Cool Water, which also has mint, orange blossom, and the ambery cedar at the last. Yes, OK, it's Radio City Music Hall not La Scala, but let's not get sniffy.

there isnt a hint of anything natural to it...i dont even think there is much development throughout....in fact it has a huge opening burst of clean playfullness and then it calms down to its core of sensual immaturity(yes, Sensual immaturity).....and guess what...throughout the whole time its 110% synthetic and i love it. It is not a fragrance i would wear every day or even every other day, but when you do.....it will brighten up your day and you wont care whether it happened artificially or not.....just like some fragrances are considered "too mature" for some, this one might be considered "too immature" for others....thus, you would have to have a side to you that shows simply that even if you have a 9-5 job and a family and plenty of real life responsibilities, .....that there is still a kid within you who is ready to jump out and laugh and act a fool for no particular reason. P.S. I always get compliments while wearing Outrageous and the most interesting one was " you smell like lime dishwashing detergent.....yet its so enticing!".... yup, smell like a detergent....and loving it.. plus exclamation point!

Harsh, synthetic, and cheap at best. Vaguely nauseating at worst.

Low budget fragrance should be price in its category. It smells cheap. The only note that smells decent is the bergamote in it. Everything else gives me nausea. Sorry Mr. Malle.

Shocking! This to me smells like a dry cleaning establishment. That wonderfully outrageously seductive smell of dry cleaning fluid. Makes you want to go into that romantic business. My dear, my I hem that skirt for you? Like my frag?

HMMM 5 stars from Burr, 4 stars from Turin. I totaly agree, I love wearing this one. Genious!!
