Outspoken by Fergie

Berries? What is everyone talking about?! I'm completely shocked at the reviews on this one. This one is getting increasingly harder and harder to find. As I was searching on Ebay and seeing that the price has gone way up...I finally decided to buy it as I found a listing on it on Ebay for only $20 and unused, still sealed in box. I smelled it and I LOVE it! But.....berries? Woody accord? To be completely honest...I just smell an extremely white floral fragrance. Like fresh linens blowing in the breeze on a warm summer day. I can smell some leather accord as well. But that is it. A clean florally...leathery...classy perfume. Lots of tuberose with some leather thrown in. This does smell similar (not like a dupe) but similar to Kim Kardashian's debut perfume. I like Kim Kardashian's bottle design better than this one but this scent takes the lead in strength. It is stronger and lasts about an hour or two longer. This fragrance is really clean. I mean CLEAN. One of the cleanest, most "linen-translated" type of white floral perfumes that I've ever smelled. Scent Itself - 8.5/10 Longevity - About 5 hours. Projection - One thing I love about this scent is that the projection is entirely adjustable. One spray rubbed between wrists will be office safe giving only 1-2 feet of projection. Two sprays on neck and two sprays on wrists will get you about 5 feet of projection and will pack some punch for a night out. And adding two sprays to your shirt will add even more strength. Overall Score - 9/10 In closing :: I'd like to say that normally I can tell just from the notes & reviews whether I'll like a fragrance and this one...I was really nervous to purchase and entirely UNSURE if I would like it or not. But I am very impressed. I really like it. I even think I love it. I also have Fergie's "Viva" perfume which I just recently wrote a review about. Looks like based on being two-for-two now...I have no choice but to buy "Outspoken Fresh" and "Outspoken Party." Will be sure to do so...and stay tuned for reviews on those ones! For now and for this one...two thumbs up Fergie! This is beautifully done! I can easily see this being a wedding day perfume. So floral and clean. Gorgeous and classy.

What can I say about Outspoken? Lots of things; which surprised me as I expected this to be another heavy, cheap smelling Avon perfume. Besides the fact that it’s backed by a celebrity synched my negative predisposition about this perfume. Boy was I wrong! Is this another sweet celebrity scent? Yes and No. The red berries in the top notes and the leathery bottom notes are beautifully held together by the tuberose. I don’t even care for leather tones on me and yet... this is the first perfume I will wear that has those dark leathery tones (and vetiver to boot!) because it is accented by wonderful dark and icy berries that are warmed up by the tuberose, creating a juxtaposition to die for. All the other notes play supporting roles here. Berry, tuberose, and leather run the show, so to speak. On my skin, the berries and tuberose shine, leaving the ebony character of the scent dancing undercovers to a rock n roll tune. No femme fatale quality to it as most people hoped it would. Which is great for me since I wouldn't want to walk around smelling like someone I'm not. I think this is what I had hoped Avril Lavigne's Black Star would smell like. Sweet... but with an edgy kick to it. Projection is good but the sillage is medium. Staying power leaves something to be desired. Avon offers money back guarantee. Buy it! ;o)

Is it me or Outspoken and Givenchy's Amariage smells the same to me? they both have an an Acidic sweetness base in both perfumes i think is the pervasive amount of Tuberose of each Fragrances Amariage has a more of an sour tangy tinges and with more of an use of an woody drydown. the opening begins with an Tuberose effect mellows out with the presence of Black currents and crisp textures of Starfruit. the drydown is bit elusive Passion flower with it's beautiful foliage adds to the beauty Jasmine and me is like finding a needle in a haystack if it's mingling with the other notes but as a single note yes it's easier to find. There is very little or no Leather scent but the thought of it make it more sexy and yes indeed it is a sexy perfume but the silage is not long lasting compared to Amariage so you need to apply a few times but it's well worth it. Amarige is a Older refined Sophisticated Mature and more mannered Sister to Outspoken which is as the description reads it Younger Edgier daring darker and aimed for the younger crowd, but when these come together they make an unlikely bedfellows.

Outrageous had me in such a chokehold! I'm down to my last bottle and needed something else to help the fragrance last a bit longer. After checking out the "reminds me of" list, I layered Outrageous with BBW's One in A Million. The two fragrances worked really well together - the plum/fruity notes were very short-lived before the jasmine took over and gave off a clean/floral for the remainder of the day. Without OIAM, Outrageous lasted about 2.5 hours and with the scent lasted about 5 hours before I had to re-up. Although I'm sad about finishing off my beloved Outrageous, I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing this fragrance and will add the empty bottle to my perfume bottle graveyard to savor the memories.

I got this today and is really nice at first it is really fruity,i can smell the iced berries then it become more floral the tuberose dominates the scent (at this point it reminds me a lighter Amariage by Givenchy(i read that Fergie used to wear it))at the end smell like something warm this point i cant describe it,the lasting power is really good for the price,it last like 8 hours on my skin,if you can get it in promotion with the big body lotion you should get it is a great option for a nice Fruity-Floral(is not mature but is not for teens,i mean is a nice balanced is modern but have vintage hints),i totally recomend it!. :)
