What does Outrecuidant smell like?

It opens with pineapple, grapefruit and blackcurrant, a bright, fruity freshness. In the heart, saffron, cardamom and orange blossom set spice against a soft floral note. The base is led by patchouli, leather, cedar, sandalwood, labdanum and oud, drying down smoky, resinous and earthy.

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, and very few choose summer. Evening, leisure and nights out are the leading occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it reads as truly unisex. Amber Mystique and Upper Ten have a similar profile.
