A classic leather with a Histoires twist
Outrecuidant opens with fruity pineapple and cassis: fresh fruit with a stillness rather than sweetness.
You keep bringing your wrist to your nose to catch that fresh pineapple, and before you know it, it has turned into animalic leather: a masterful evolution.
To me it brought to mind thick black leather, well oiled and softened, like a double riders jacket.
For those who seek a quiet, dry scent rather than a showy, glossy one.
[utʀ əkɥidɑ ̃̃]
[Etymology] Derived from the Latin cogitare,
via the Old French cuidance (a leap of thought)
Grapefruit and pineapple shine provocatively with an exaggerated orange blossom, while saffron and cardamom answer back, showily raising their voices. As the leather emerges, labdanum's woody notes and resin grow fiercer, and finally oud, heightened by patchouli, pulls it all together as if accepting the whole display of arrogance. Leather, saffron and orange blossom, playing a powerful scent, are never afraid to be bold.

Country of Origin
France
Among the Histoires de Parfums lineup,
the EN APARTÉ collection
was created by brand founder Gerald Ghislain
as scents he himself wished to wear.
Experience this supreme collection,
heavy and deep,
exuding mysterious allure.
Just as conversation is,
perfume too is a form of expression.
At times a declaration,
at other times a secret.
Some scents you want to express boldly and openly to those around you;
others you wish to share
carefully, only within your private sphere.
It is this intention
that lies behind the En Aparté collection.
For you, who wish to slip a secret into your scent.
Three fragrances
that bring out an uncompromising, free expression:
"Irrévérent", "Outrecuidant" and "Prolixe".
Histoires de Parfums invites you
beyond its closed doors.
HISTOIRES de PARFUMS
Like a book written with deep feeling,
an olfactory library that evokes stories through scent.
