This perfume starts sharp,noticeable sweet,feels a bit masculine the part I don’t necessary like as well a bit smoky, the othet part that I don’t like about it as well.
After that gets more soft. Overall I can’t see myself without this perfume, something about this one that make me feel attract to it.
Unfortunately I can’t notice much the smell on myself but at least my husband could scented after 3 hours I’ve sprayed.
The silage on me radiates about an arm length.
The staying power is around 3 hours.
Edit
Is only me that can scent a honey scent on it? I can’t get my mind of that note ( strange because is not on the list either) but I definitely can detect a honey smell on this one, just like Charlie Red.

Fruity, floral, soapy, bit sweet with “darker” vibe. This isn’t girly or just sweet perfume, it have bit attitude. I see this perfume as for woman 25+ with romantic, elegant style. I also get from this little bit classy vibe or it’s just my imagination. Somewhere there are dark berries. There is paper or cardboard smell entwined in this perfume. Overall lovely, but also seems bit cheap as for everyday use. Worth to try if you are looking for not overly sweet, “darkish”, bit soapy berry perfume.

I had the original Outspoken and I thought I would like the “Intense” version even more. I have no idea why they call it Intense, it is just a fruity floral boring scent, there is nothing intense or interesting about it. It also lasts much less than the Original.

If someone has a cap of one of the Outspoken perfumes and don’t need it, please send me a message
Niya2009 – :
Nothing groundbreaking or new, but still a nice, exotic fruity fragrance. Smells like a Paris Hilton fragrance mixed with one of the DKNY Apples. Fresh, sweet – lots of sugared berries. A typical “club” perfume for younger women. Bottle is kinda meh.
All in all a nice perfume for the price 🙂
nuzman – :
First notes smell to me as pure raspberry, although I couldn’t find it among the notes…It then opens elegantly yet stays a little flirty with it’s sweetness… One of those perfumes for party nights, I would say.

My biggest blind buy FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow this a long with a lot of strong floral literately suffocates me and wants to shut down my lungs. Really for me it is that bad!!! All I smell is super strong floral.

I have taken to Avon the last few months. I love getting the catalogs and my eight year old daughter and I spend at least 30 minutes going through it. Being the perfume addict that I am, I started buying several Avon perfumes and I remembered from a few years ago the original outspoken and I thought that I had liked it when I smelled it, but I wanted to change it up a little so I ordered outspoken fresh and this one. Fresh arrived first, you can find my review over there but I will say I LOVE it love it love it! So I was thinking to myself that the intense version must be incredible, I had VERY high expectations of this aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I spray it….nothing! Spray again- barely anything! Third spray I’ realize that the name ” Outspoken Intense” is the absolute hands down most inaccurately described fragrance I have ever in my life come across. Im not joking when I say this is actually a dialed down version of outspoken fresh. Now don’t get me wrong, I do like this. It smells really good. It’s a fresh, fruity, girly fun scent – but it’s light…VERY light. Whoever was given the project of brainstorming ideas for the name of this REALLY dropped the ball, and hopefully was taken off that project lol
Deguiweergo – :
I can detect the magnolia (not too strong) and the starfruit. There are blackberries growing wild across from my house and I don’t remember any smell from that. The berry scent I get from Intense is an interpretation of the taste if that makes sense. This perfume, in simple terms, is sweetly berry with hints of amber to lend some character. Nice black and red packaging. I prefer this over the original Outspoken although it is too loaded with berries for my liking.
One spray on me
Sillage: about arm’s length
Longevity: 2 to 3 hours
Rating: 2/5

This fragrance has been discontinued in Thailand for a big while. I got this fragrance on Dec31 as a new year gift. The bottle is manufactured in 2011. Its scent has something familiar to the original Outspoken, but stronger, and I like it.
I didn’t buy it since the first time it came out because I’d read such many negative reviews and comments. It once was on sale in AVON Thailand Office, just 100bath(3usd) each, and I still didn’t buy.

Fergie wanted to evoke a rush of adrenaline that she feels before she goes on stage with this fragrance.
Well… unless your running through a sea of flowers with Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion that’s about all the adrenaline rush you are going to get.
Everything that was wrong with the original Outspoken (bug spray) version, Avon got right with Intense.
It is a very intense, overwhelming floral when first applied which prompted my teenage son to ask “What is that stink?”
Ignore him…yes it is strong, next time I won’t be so liberal with how much I spray on but I was just so happy that it didn’t smell like bug spray, I got carried away.
This is a gorgeous, well combined floral with sharp fruity undertones and a touch of musk, which dries down to something very soft, feminine and wearable.
In Australia we didn’t get the gorgeous bottle featured here, ours was just plain silver with a cheap plastic lid. I usually love Avon bottles but the Fergie range are just awful.
b-tagir – :
I just love that fragrance! I already had Outspoken, and I passed it away because it gave me headache. Now I got a bottle from Outspoken Intense and I must say that is so much better than the traditional (the one with the purple bottle). This Intense version have the DNA of the original, but it’s so much pleasant to feel it. While the Outspoken is a floral fragrance, with a strong note of passion flower, this Intense version is more fruity, with a small flower touch. I can smell in Outspoken Intense a fruity mix of star fruit, kumquat and blackberries, with a noticiable note of passion flower. That’s it! There’s no leather here like in the original, and I notice that makes this version more tropical, so much easy to wear in summer hot days. Oh yeah, and the bottle it’s just wonderfull! Looks like it has some glitter on it. I really like it! For me, that’s the best from Fergie’s collection! Unfortunately it’s a limited edition, at least here in my country.

Ha, I remember how I did not like this perfume back in a day when it came out and I tried it. Now I went on business trip and to my disappointment realized I had forgotten to bring any perfumes with me. I found couple of Avon samples at the back pocket of my bag, long forgotten hey were even there. It happened to be the Outspoken. I tried it and as I expected I did not like the beginning. But then I sniffed my wrist 20 mins later and boy did I like it. It has this almost Christmassy feel to it (I believe from the Virginian Cedar. This nicely resonates with the autumn weather and the mood that Christmas is not so far away. In a nutshell, I`ll be loving it this week in Prague:).
urok – :
This is an average perfume. Starts as a berry citrus scent. The middle is nice light fresh floral and the base is a nice woody musk. Not much to the bottle. Silver with black writing. The box is pretty though. Fergie kinda needs to step up her game. This gets a 6.5/10 from me xo
prioksana – :
Meh, very underwhelming. The only intense about this is the alcohol burst in the opening. Light synthetic sweetness lasts for a halfen hour. One of my few blind buy fails.
Fil76 – :
İt is very lovely and fruity scene. İ used it sometimes cause the scent might give me headache. You can smell star fruit and passion flower very easily. But its notes barely change time to time.if you like sweety and fruity perfumes you will use this with love. But if you prefer more sophisticate and spicy scenes , run away from this perfume. And last, this is so unsuprise perfume , its scene barely change on your skin.
Sochisota – :
Never has a fragrance been less appropriately named. This is a snoozefest. Watered-down, vaguely sweet, totally unintelligible. It’s a complete why bother. I guess it’s good for those days when you want to wear a perfume while not smelling like anything in particular. I don’t pick up any particular notes at all, much less any level of intensity. Blah.
Update: ok, if you just accept that this is a cheap, watered down frag, and put on a ton of it, it’s actually not bad. Now I smell the berries and gardenia but not much else. Pleasant and feminine. I put it on right after my shower and it’s nice…but already it’s fading, hehe! Don’t spend much on this one, or expect much from it.
vladesz – :
I had some tester vials but gave it to my daughter (late teen) and she really likes it. It’s very ‘young’ perfume, playful and sweet, but not sickening. I don’t think the ‘Intense’ or ‘Outspoken’ are a matching description of this scent. More ‘fun and flirty’ in my opinion. I would consider buying a set as a gift for a young woman like my daughter. The bottle itself is nice, matching the scent.
Update: ok, so I saved couple of vials of it for myself, because I sometimes like to challenge myself and experiment, and on a spurge of the moment decided to try it properly on me and to see what my teen wench likes so much about it. Started with just few drops on each wrist, ended up using up two vials… ooops! 😉 However, I have been wearing Avon’s Bella in the day (purposefully without saying the ‘stable’ FA name, as for me, it stands out and should just be called Bella) and I thought, if there is something missing in the Fergie’s Intense that makes it suitable for me is the depth and ‘cosy-ness’ of Bella. So I applied the Fergie’s Intense again generously on my wrists and hmmm… between my ‘booties’… and sprayed the Bella on top, on my chest and neck. What I got was a delicious mix, sweet, sexy and playful, and tastefull! 🙂 Oooh, I like this mix very much! If the sillage was better, I would call it flirty. I still think F.Intense complements Bella, and you can only enjoy this playful fusion for a little while (as none of them last very long) but it’s an interesting combo, good for a ‘me time’.
Ленаltnjxrf – :
For some reason I like it. I detect mainly sweet blackberries with hint of gardenia.
erurlertyx – :
Just like a berry coulis drizzled over a refreshing tropical fruit platter. Outspoken Intense has delicious berries that are tart and not overly sweet. I really like the addition of the passionflower note which reminds me of Passionflower by Crabtree & Evelyn from the 90’s. The starfruit comes through rounding out the tartness of the fruit.
The white flowers are quite pretty and inviting, thankfully the gardenia is not too heady. The scent dries down to a soft ambery musk. I’m a little disappointed that it’s doesn’t last on me, and I agree with the comments about the lack of intensity.
To my nose this is a fruity floral that could be a lighter, fresher cousin of Midnight Fantasy and Guess by Marciano Guess. If you enjoy these fragrances and are looking for a light day-time scent, Outspoken Intense is worth a try. Thanks again CathieH for the sample!
empatuess – :
I got this as part of a gift set, including Fergie’s first 3 fragrances in 15ml tube bottles. When I got it, I sprayed Outspoken on one wrist, and Intense on the other. At first I thought they both smelled exactly the same. However, the base notes of this one was more fruity rather than leathery.
des12 – :
Even fruitier than original Outspoken. I appreciated both.
Airena – :

DISCOUNTVIAGRA – :
Fruity? Not on me. On me the top notes smelled just like V-8 tomato juice. Not at all pleasant! I couldn’t wait to get to the rubbing alcohol to take it off.
hjvfirf111 – :
This is one of the few Avon fragrances I’ve ever bought that I truly love because it doesn’t smell like any other fragrance I have.
I bought both Fergie fragrances and love this one more than the original – probably because I’m more partial to sweet scents. The initial spray is very sweet & floral and the dry down leaves just gardenia and lasts about 4 hours. I’ll definitely keep purchasing this as long as they keep selling it.
eldora – :
This one was a blind buy. I was very disappointed cause it’s plain boring! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad fragrance – there’s just nothing Outspoken or Intense about it 🙁 Another typical fragrance by Avon. Sucha a shame that the discontinue the great ones and promote boring fragrances like Outspoken Intense.
toxer – :
Not at all ‘intense’ i have this one as well as the original and i was expecting it to be deeper darker and stronger. It is in fact a sweeter lighter more playful scent basically fruity, completely opposite to the original which is dark strong and powerful. This scent is infact more fickle & innocent than the original. I think the original in the darker bottle should be named ‘intense’ as this one is the lighter airy version with added tropical notes and fruits. The other one has deeper dewy notes.
pascal902 – :
I tried the deo with great expectations and waited for a very long time. Nothing happened. Started out as a lifelike muskmelon scent and stayed put as a diluted muskmelon juice. This is what I call boooringgg !
loveloko – :
I LOVE this perfume. I think the name really speaks for itself – it’s confident, sexy, intense. I can’t really distinguish between the different fruit but the musk is amazing – even after a few hours it still has a lovely warmth to it. I noticed a few people thought it was generic but i can honestly say I’ve never smelt anything similar, so to me it’s quite unique. I’ve had it for a while and keep going back to it again and again – it’s especially great for going out – never fails to get compliments!
gem – :
I tried Outspoken yesterday, so now on to Outspoken Intense.
I find them to be very different fragrances. Outspoken was a fruity floral that really didn’t evolve too much; it was a bit darker than Intense is probably from the leather and vetiver.
Outspoken Intense starts out very fruit; the Avon description refers to “sugared berries” and the brochure has a picture of raspberries and blackberries sprinkled in sugar: that’s a pretty apt description of the first hour of this fragrance. I did, however, get a tropical vibe as well—it smelled like pineapples to me, but maybe that was the starfruit and kumquat (I have little experience with either; I guess I need to be more adventurous with my grocery shopping).
After that, a floral-musk fragrance appears leaving very little of the fruitiness behind. To me, the floral note was almost a lily fragrance. I see gardenia, orange blossom and passion flower listed; I think maybe I’m catching the gardenia note. I can also see how the orange blossom would contribute to the fruitiness and then to the transition into floral, and once I started sniffing for it I can certainly tell that it is there throughout.
I happen to love musk, and find that the addition of musk to Outspoken Intense really changes the nature of the fragrance, compared to Outspoken with its leather note to lend an animalic quality. The musk in Intense gives a slightly cleaner vibe. There is something in the drydown of Intense that reminds me of Avon’s Odyssey, a classic light lily-musk scent—but Outspoken Intense has more dimension with the addition of the fruit in the beginning.
The name Outspoken Intense implies a strident, assertive powerhouse of a perfume, which it is not. It is pleasant and well rounded, a lightly sensual perfume combining berries, the tropics and flowers with a nice transition into musk.
Sanek777 – :
I like this quite a bit, have a small roll on of it. It kind of reminds me of the escada LE fruity summer fragrances but with more of a leathery note. Very fruity.
евгений666 – :
I like this fragrance, I only wear it in the summer as its nice and fresh on me. The lasting power is ok aswell it last about 5 hours on me but after that I can still smells whiffs of it if I move in a certain direction I will catch it. Really nice fragrance for summer.

this one smells awesome when u take the cataloge and the “try it on” place. and put it on ur arm. but in real life…
alex_pupyshev – :
Okay, so the name may not entirely support what this fragrance really is. I have both versions and if Outspoken smells like sex, this one smells like the being in the moment after sex. The first one is honestly more intense, and this one rather represents the feelings after the intensity is over. Imagine after being engaged in deep, passionate sex, the relaxation of laying in your man’s arms feeding each other fruit. The sweat, the musk and the sweetness of love. It’s all there, it’s just the fact that people don’t know what to look for. Many reviewers are caught up in the name. They are expecting something more intense and that’s where this falls short, the name. I understand why many are disappointed by this and that is not to say this one doesn’t smell good, because it does, but it does not in fact live up to it’s name. It represents the calm after the intensity is over. on a day out with my husband I wore this and totally forgot about it later in the day. I was wondering what was smelling so divine only to discover it was me. This is sweeter than the first one and a little musky, which I like. Ladies, don’t get caught up in the name or this will surely disappoint. Get past the name and you’ll find it quite enjoyable.
proxa – :
This is rubbish. My mother got this as a gift and I decided to use some one day, and it confuses me a lot. What confuses me is that this scent is EXTREMELY weak, yet I still get a headache when I use it. It smells weak and harsh at the same time. I smell watery fruits with a touch of citrus and a lot peony, I’m surprised its not listed here. The only thing intense about this fragrance is the headache it gave me.

Thanks to a very nice fellow Fragrantican who I’ve just done a swap with I just got a 10ml bottle of Outspoken Intense and I’m liking it!
I agree with some reviewers who say it’s not necessarily the type of fragrance you’d expect Fergie to put out as it’s not particularly unique, or maybe even very interesting, but it does smell nice nevertheless! It certainly doesn’t smell even remotely ‘primitive’ (as I see one reviewer has described it!). It’s a regular, pleasant smelling, feminine, fruity / floral perfume. I think there is an awful lot of snobbishness with some people about Avon perfumes so no matter how nice some of their perfumes are, some people will automatically dismiss them as being cheap smelling, generic, old lady’ish (whatever) even if, deep down, they may actually like them (but they’d probably rather die than admit that they actually like an Avon perfume!).
This perfume reminds me a lot of Ocean Pacific for Women, which I have, in that they’re both very ‘pink’, girly smelling fruity / florals that I think men seem to find very alluring! Neither of them are groundbreaking fragrances but then they don’t have to be (and, in my experience, very few perfumes are and most are reminiscent of other perfumes anyway!). They’re just very pleasant, feminine, ‘crowd pleasing’ perfumes and I think they’re suitable for anytime, anywhere and would be highly unlikely to grossly offend anybody! So, I can recommend Outspoken Intense and I’d suggest that this is one of those perfumes that needs to be tried personally rather than to be rejected out of hand just because of some less than positive reviews, or just because it’s an Avon perfume. I think it could smell really lovely on the right person (and on me it does smell good!). Personally, I think it’s by far one of the nicest Avon perfumes.
UPDATE: Hmm, I may have changed my mind slightly about this perfume! On trying it a second time I got a distinct slightly cloying, rice’ish note which was a bit sickly and made me feel slightly queasy! That lingered for awhile but faded relatively soon. Still, I found it unpleasant enough to make me think I wouldn’t want a full bottle of this perfume! It’s OK, and still would smell good on the right person, but it’s never doing to be one of my favorites!
nutihada – :
This is a nice, sweet floral scent that really isn’t anything too inspiring or exciting. I think it’s pretty, and will probably wear it again (the bottle belongs to my mum and I borrow her scents sometimes) but I’m really not too impressed with the staying power.
ysp658elipseskism – :
I bought this from my Avon supplier because she couldn’t sell it, so she sold it to me at a significant discount. Thank Goodness she did! I was sooo disappointed that I even spent 5 dollars! It smells very cheap and the smell is gone in a few minutes….like it is mostly water. I may just use it as a bathroom spray but it isn’t even pretty?! Fergie sold out….and should be trying to create a fun/funky smell like herself. My suggestion…don’t even spend a dollar!
jjpg – :
Got a whiff of it and really didn’t like the intoduction of the notes. I know it’s meant to be sexy and night appropriate but it comes off a old lady-ish for me (maybe i’m biased since i’m not very fond of passion flower) Maybe in the future i’ll give it another shot!

nice scent but its nothing special,from my opinion is 99,9% as Christina Aguilera Inspire. But Inspire is cheaper and last longer and i see inspire sweeter.
Fergie scent i see like somebody put 1/2 water and 1/2 chrissy inspire.
miny – :
it smells good. but it does not last for hours, i can not smell the”beauty” of this fragrance even after wearing it. but my mom says it smells nice. maybe i should buy another fragrance. i am not satisfied with it’s bad lasting quality.
RIDAKO2 – :
Got this as a gift from my avon lady today and I probably will give it to someone else it really isn’t my style. However it does smell good. First off you get a eye popping blast of citrus before it settles down into a sweet smelling fruit punch sort of blend before fading away into non-existence.
Sillage: okay
Longevity: fades quickly
Overall: 2.5/5
EDIT: on my mom this perfume takes on an entirely different persona it’s a wonderful sweet floral calming floral with fleeting hints of fruitiness.
putyatin – :
To me this smelled a lot like J’adore. It starts off a bit fruity and then becomes white floral (Strong on the gardenia). It gave me a migraine. (I’m not being insulting here. If I say something gave me a migraine it really did) It smells rather generic, but then it’s not expensive so if you like this one, it is a good deal. It lasted about 6 hours on me which is pretty good. It is better for spring/summer wear. I didn’t like it, as I said, it gave me a headache so it’s not one I will buy.
xlh708speagoessenda – :
Hate those sweet, syrupy scents! Just hate them. For those who like these kinds of fragrances, try Ange ou Demon, which is a sexy concoction that mixes something more than just fruit!
Jokker – :
Hmm….I’m another person who is slightly dissapointed with the advert. It makes you think you’re going to get a nice pinky…two tone bottle…NOT THE CASE. It’s a plain silver bottle with a clear lid. Ah well..on to the perfume.
The first spray is quite a jumble, fruits and flowers and alot of alcohol. It’s nice but there’s quite alot going on. It has a freshness to it but it takes a while to settle.
Once it’s had a while a really strong..Tuberose/Gardenia note emerges which I like as I’m a fan of Tuberose! But the way it’s blended with the other notes just makes it smell….I dunno..slightly artificial. I haven’t smelled the original Outspoken so cannot compare but this for me is a safe smell for day to day. I’m actually trying to finsih my bottle as it just isn’t special enough.
Good for the price though.

I honestly prefer the original Outspoken because for me, Outspoken smells somehow, it has an interesting scent and it’s quite original, but Outspoken Intense smells like nothing special to me. I expected a more intense and sweet version of the original, but it dissapointed me.
Anyhow, Outspoken Intense is too bitter for me. I had to choose between these new arrivals: Little Red Dress and Outspoken Intense, and I chose LRD because in the middle of the bitter notes of it, there is a sweet note of raspberry <3
Nodspoil – :
Better than original Outspoken but nothing special. Like it, but not sure I will buy it.
SfimKs – :
Not a very exciting fragrance, has that definite Avon note to it. Don’t detect a great deal of difference to the original Outspoken. Was expecting something rather different, a more night time style to reflect the name. It’s sweetish, with fruit and florals. End of story.

merdmax – :
I dislike it. It`s generic and for me smells overly flowery-sweet and cheap. And I can only repeat what so many of you have said – Outspoked Intense??? I can imagine a blond girl in pink dress wearing it, nothing whatsoever intense about it. The advertisement and name for this perfume seems to be just a big mistake.
JerneHongon – :
Fergie hasn’t really impressed me with her fragrances. Outspoken wasn’t really my type of a perfume but it was very Fergie-like. What unimpressed me the most about Outspoken Intense is that it doesn’t seem to be like Fergie at all. It’s a really nice floral fruity with juicy fruits that I quite like but I was expecting something more different and impressive.
If it was just Avon I’d consider buying it but even though I admire Fergie I don’t want this perfume because this scent did not exceed my expectations.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s actually a nice scent with fresh and juicy fruits and sweet bouquet of beautiful flowers. But what’s intense about it? Maybe the sweetness can be too heavy for some people?
panin 1987 – :
Got this one today. First off, the advertising is simply false. The advertising pictures would suggest that the bottle and it’s stopper has metallic pink, purple and red hues, but it doesnot. It’s a plain tacky silver sprayed over the bottle. I scratched at it and the paint came off.
As for the fragrance, the first spritz is one big boom of scents and you cannot get your head around it. You sniff and you try to figure out what you’re actually smelling. Almost immediately after that though, it all dies down and all you can still smell is the gardenia. The gardenia note here is exceptionally similiar to the that of Mariah’s Forever. That’s all i can smell, that powdery, sharp scent of gardenia.
I think the only reason it’s called Outspoken Intense is because it gives me an intense and splitting headache.

Nothing outspoken about this perfume, infact it’s very subtle, it’s okay but nothing special infact it’s like a body spray rather than a perfume so the quality of the perfume is quite poor. There is a note in it that reminds me a bit of raid insecticide spray.The silage and longevity is very poor.

At first smelling, reminds me of L.A. Glow by JLo, but a little more flowery/powdery. I think the first one is more “intense” than this.

I’m not sure what it is in the composition of Outspoken Intense that smells to me like cat pee. I searched the house for a puddle from next door’s tom cat then realised the smell was following me, tentatively sniffed my wrist and realised with abject horror that it was the perfume. One shower later, an open window or two and the house smells fresh again. Some fruit has this affect on my nose, it may be the blackberry??
zrk014Negeltzex – :
Better than the original Outspoken on me, but in the end it’s a very same-y fruity musk. That being said, it’s a nice, more mature fruity musk than most out on the market today; there’s nothing girly about this one, but as far as being outspoken or intense, it is none of these things. It’s pleasant and wearable only.
kos20031 – :
I swear I could smell gardenia but it’s not listed here. Thank you Gypsy Parfumista! Now I know I’m not imagining it. The gardenia actually is the most prevalent note on me. I think this is an OK fragrance, not bad, not great. If I liked gardenia more, I’d like this better. Gardenia is one of those notes that has to be blended very interestingly for me to truly appreciate. This is wearable but I prefer the original Outspoken.

Despite my rather snarky comments on this perfume (under the article for its release) this is not really that bad. I do, however, think that maybe the original SHOULD have been called “Intense” and maybe this just “Outspoken”.
