I usually love Ms. Grojsman’s compositions but this had too much ISO E super (cedar and musk) in it for me. About 30 minutes in that was the predominant note. I believe I may have some sensitivity to this note or it does not work with my skin chemistry, so please consider that as my review is less than stellar. It smelled wonderful on my bestie, which led me to buy a bottle…but had to return it. If Iso E super does not work well for you, please try a sample before investing.

@ My friend has to carry it with him because it doesn’t Last. He smells good still.

I would love some feedback from those with recent experience of Outrageous. I know I love the smell already, but I was wondering about the performance. I’m tempted to get this (but also seriously considering a full bottle of French Lover or Monsieur)…
Please and thank you!

In my mind this fragrance is associated with Aqua Universalis.
Smells like clean bedsheets. I like it.
The price is outrageous.

I had difficulties with something in the opening that I cannot identify but wants to take my head off. In time, there is a bit of promise when the mystery ingredient fades away but quickly goes to a softer but overly sugarly orange cream ice cream confection and the sugar just grows and grows. I can see where some will fall in love with this but just not for me. It has all the charm of an overdressed woman trying too hard who drinks too much champagne and becomes drippy sweet and overly affectionate. That never ends well.

This is what carefree smells like.
Love the fruity, musky, fresh, slightly spicy aroma this creates. Bought it for my boyfriend and I love getting whafts of it all day. Sometimes it almost smells like a green fresh flanker for Spicebomb or something. Probably because of the cinnamon.
The green apple note is gorgeous. Worth a try if your looking for a fun take on a long lasting carefree cologne for summer.
Садок – :
Effervescent, transparent, clean and fresh. Literally wears like a second skin and is perfectly unisex depending on who’s looking at it.
Very unique approach on ambroxan, green apple note lingers throughout its life, supported by a delicate cinnamon note as well.
Surprisingly good sillage and longevity for this type of fragrance.
Probably best suited for close quarters or intimate situations.
You would certainly have to invest in 100ml bottle to get any kind value for it, but would I pay $200 CAD for it? No. Unfortunately not.

I revere most of the Frederic Malle line, but this one is a big miss for me. Like another reviewer, I smell limes mixed with melon, almost like orange juice from concentrate. It really reminds me of the old Claiborne for Men. My husband likes it a lot though.
strasik – :
This perfume opened up with a “sparkly” citrusy summer smell—almost as if I had spritzed my arm with fresh lemon, orange and grapefruit juices on a hot summer day. Mid-way through, I began to smell a touch of orange creamsicle. In its drydown it turned to citrus dryer sheets. While this perfume remained pleasant in its stages, at no point did I feel it was worth the money.

my first review disappeared !!!!
well good it was terrible and i mean it was kinda mean but i will be very honest the beginning it’s super offensive call me crazy but it smells exactly like rotten limes, limes that have been in the fridge for over a month and turn dark yellow in some spots and then once cut are completely bitter.
it is just so bitter, maybe is my skin but i really wanted to like this and it is just so pungent sorry :*(
pepto66i – :
First spray wake you up its beautiful clean fresh smell
but little bit home spray
After 10 minutes it disappears and you can feel it only when you sniff your skin when you sprayed it and what i smell? Some cleaning detergent the one witth added artificial lemon
Ok so as i was writing this review and my husband came in and said hmmmm nice smell!
I asked him do u smell it? I cant smell it anymore and he said yes
I asked him and? What do you smell?
He said nice window cleaner !
Probably the one with lemon as i said
Update:
After 30 mins (very close to skin) light blue as someone mentioned here
After one hour no trace on my skin at all
With all that said i like it as i like clean fresh or clean powdery scent but wont buy it for that price…
P.s i have original FM sample 2ml bottle

The scent of salty sun-warmed skin after a day on the beach.Some beautiful young thing sipping a Mojito garnished with Apple,citrus and mint.I’m doomed to love this even though I’m 53 and definitely not a young thing anymore.I need several sprays of this for projection and longevity.My10 ml spray will not last long at this rate.This comes over as a very lovely expensive cologne that requires spraying lavishly.Will I buy a full size bottle – A definite yes.

Just got email from Frederic Malle official website, that it’s available again in two formats – 10 cc and 100 cc, and no shipping charges

This item has been temporarily discontinued from Barneys, its exclusive retailer. The worker today at Barneys in SF told me that they are re-releasing it this coming March 2017. What a relief!

I really loved this, but I also love Light Blue.
This smells just like Light Blue, with less staying power.
I’ll retest when I can, and update this if I need to.

This fragrance leads me to think I’m struggling with psychological issues. Somehow seductive, which Is bizarre given I’m smelling a 45 year old trucker who has been on the road for 2 months without showering and just showered in lime juice. Makes me want to stick my face to a sweaty trucker just to see if I’m delusional
Oxic – :
White floral lovers have to try this one. I tried this because I love citrus fragrances, but this one is definitely white floral. Well blended, very realistic natural notes.
cjkex – :
outrageous? no, but captivating. yes i agree it’s got a super fresh and green burst that is in your face and to be honest it does remind me of another fragrance that i just can not put my finger on right now.. hummmm?
the top opens up beautifully and kinda has an effervescent effect to it.. you can tell it has lots of lime and grapefruit with a sliver of green apple hiding away in there maybe i’m confusing the neroli for the orange blossom but they do smell very similar.
ahhhh after some time the musky animalic portion starts to rear it’s head at you way towards the hour or hour and a half mark. by this time the whole thing has turn very subtle and reminds me of a skunky sherbet icecream. please do not think that in a negative way.. the fragrance still smells delicious i am just trying to evoke your imagination trying to involve you on this scent journey 🙂
all in all i like this perfume. out of all the malle fragrances this and a couple others are more or less the under dogs of the group.
i think the name makes you expect way more than what it is. when i think of outrageous i think of crazy balls to the wall awesomeness!! this falls short of that image. but in the end that’s my own misconception. outrageous is a dam good perfume.
if you want a quality summer fragrance that can play during the hot afternoons and becomes very chill for the nights you might like this.
*imagine starting off in a summer dress and ending in a evening gown. just my opinion.
i give it a 7 out of ten.
MOLODOY 3671 – :
ok,I received five sample vials of this in a sample lot I purchased on ebay. I’d never heard of it,though I knew who Fredrick Malle was.I’m a little intimidated by such revered scents as Portrait of a Lady or Carnal Flower,afraid I won’t appreciate them,that I’m not sophisticated enough.So,as this one didn’t seem so well know,or so lauded,I thought ok,maybe this one won’t be so bad.
Initial spritz is a bit off putting,Very sharp and,green,lots of lime and I’m guessing neroli. Not positive what neroli smells like,exactly. I’ve probably smelled it before,in something else I have,but it’s not one of those notes I’m real familiar with.
It stays pretty sharp for awhile.maybe 30 minutes to an hour,but then,something happens,It becomes much softer,and sweeter.It’s at this point I said,HMM not as bad as I thought.
But then,maybe 2 hours in,the dry down is very nice,my favorite part.It’s light and sweet,light flowers,and a hint of citrus.
I had planned on blowing through my samples for the finish this bottle thread,but I might just hold off on that,and enjoy Outrageous a little longer.
vnm1969 – :
This has the very same citrus opening and what Luca Turin calls a “hissy steam iron” aroma molecule and light white musk basenote in common with Mugler Cologne. It reminds me very strongly of that successful fragrance.
So – you can pay more for this (it was $140 retail where I saw it) or simply get the Mugler Cologne for less than half the price.
st5019 – :
I get lots of sour apple and lime in mine. Not so much on the orange blossom. But I am used to wearing Cobra by Jeanne Arthes when I want orange blossom
nobSpounkhene – :
This does not smell “outrageous” by any means, but it smells like orange creamsicle!
Opening: Green apple and mint – very nice fresh greenness;
Sometime later: Orange blossom and neroli, and lots of it! Makes me think of Sweet Redemption by Kilian. It smells unisex, not entirely feminine;
Dry-down: Orange creamsicle! But it’s not very sweet, and there is prominent cedarwood note; lime still “peaks in” time to time.
Very nice overall, try it!
orkan – :
I don’t know why they call it Outrageous. All I know is…I love how it smells on me. It’s fairly exclusive, and I feel that conveys a little aura of mystery. (People can’t quite place it, or recognize it.) I’m not capable of breaking down the notes and elements, but… Like a favorite song, I may not be able to say why I like it, but I do. It’s my preferred everyday year-round fragrance.
KAMATOZNIK – :
Hmm, nothing “outrageous” at all about this scent. I was expecting something like Exclamation, or Poison, based on the name..but once again, “whats in a name?” Nothing. This is a rather tame perfume really. It is hotter than the bowels of hell today, and this brisk opening of citruses, and mint was very welcome. I was in fear of the orange blossom & amber getting out of hand and drowning me, but not so. This is beautiful, soft, gentle, and cool. Tart green apple, more like the skin, slightly bitter, citruses, mint, and two potentially obnoxious flowers behaving well. I can tell there are woods & amber to sing backup, but this they’re doing well, and i really enjoy this fragrance. I think the name is poor marketing, this is a fragrance for a hot day, or day out shopping & having fun! A very “relaxed” scent even, i would say, it projects the same vibe almost as Ralph Lauren Blue for women, while not being alike scent-wise. Just relaxed citrus, floral, herbal-with a little tang! Really pretty daytime scent. I could see enjoying it with a grown-up iced tea, shades & a magazine in the hammock… Not much projection here either, it stays close and does not announce itself “outrageously” at all. I bet a man could pull this off no problem, but I dont think id shell out the bucks for such a casual scent, there are many similar casual, citrus/herbal scents & colognes out there, and though there must be one for everyone, this is not for me. There is a little something “sharp” developing here as well. Citrus rind, i think, or crushed lime leaves, and the musk, which is similar here to the musk in Montale’s “Roses Musk” has finally appeared with the amber & cedar. Lovely ending. Did not last too long. Nice scent, not bound for my dresser though.
Евгений1975 – :
@ first it comes on stronger but that quickly mellows down to cedar, mint, cinnamon and musk combo.
This is more unisex then women’s frag.
It dries down to soft musky powder with crispness surrounding. There’s also something vintage and oldish mill dew like; that would be aldehyde part of a scent, kind of comes in and out at times, I could say it’s discretely present.
Put together quite nicely.
Unique!
dears – :
Super soft and subtle. A classic eau with a twist. The mint is noticeable right from the top, along with a subdued grapefruit. Neroli is prominent along with the orange blossom, making for a green light floral mix. The aldehydes in the base are just enough to give this a very uniqe feel, but perhaps a tad screechy and synthetic. This is not something that I would wear often. It in some ways reminds me of Mugler’s cologne, not the smell, but the soft clean neroli with a strange edge to it. I have no idea why they called it OUTRAGEOUS. The price maybe?

I was in a citrus aromatic mood today, having worn Caron’s Alpona morning and afternoon and switching to Outrageous in the evening.
Another fun, catchy scent from one of the world’s highest selling noses (or is she THE highest selling nose???)
I want to say Outrageous opens fresh and vibrant, as if you walked out into a citrus garden and scratched at the rinds hanging from the tree. It is these things, but with a kick: cinnamon. I really like it here, as it’s unexpected (usually this is tucked away in the base). It makes me think ‘hmm.. I wonder what will happen next’.
As the scent develops I detect more of hte mint, which is a note I”m preferring more and more; it’s keeps everything from getting too heavy.
This is a great scent to wear if you want to sit back and laugh with friends. It’s just plain joyful. Another Malle that has caught my attention.
agf2007 – :
At first, I was taken back by the notes I smelt. Then once I let it dry down I began to smell the orange blossom. The amber and cedar are strong notes on me also. All in all, I am pleased with Outrageous.
sunrise2 – :
why? why this perfume is not available elsewhere but USA? Why people do this thing with customers from other countries?
CialisGeneri – :
As the name says when i first spritzed that i was! I couldn’t make sense but here i’m now with a big decant trying to make sense of it. Although it’s not love i’m puzzled. Does this sell well and especially in a brand that has fabulous perfumes make in a modern but rather classic style. Still this one is such a tease. A nouvelle vague scent full of good wit and youthfull modernity. With the strange lime top, the sketchy but shinning orange blossom, and the cedar overwhelmed by an ambergriss-orris and cleaner steam combo from 2090 makes one intriguing experience that although it doesn’t make me add to cart, at least makes me think.
