Outspoken by Fergie is a bold, dark fruity floral with a surprising leather and woody drydown. It opens with a vivid burst of icy black currant, star fruit, and wild berries, creating a lush, slightly tart fruity accord that feels both modern and vintage. The heart is a rich, heady blend of jasmine and tuberose, balanced by the unexpected tang of passion flower and saffron, which keeps the florals from becoming overly sweet or candy-like. As it dries down, the leather and vetiver notes emerge with quiet intensity, adding dimension and a subtle, musky darkness without overpowering the fruit or flowers. The fragrance is surprisingly clean and nuanced—some liken it to a modern, lighter take on Givenchy Amarige, while others see it as a uniquely feminine expression of leather, rich in contrast and emotional depth. It wears close to the skin with moderate sillage, and while longevity is modest—lasting around 4 to 6 hours on most skin types—it leaves a lasting impression on those who appreciate its layered complexity. Overall, it's not a bombproof scent, but one that rewards subtle wear and layering, making it ideal for evening occasions, winter wear, or anyone drawn to confident, emotive scents with a touch of edge. It’s particularly praised by those who love tuberose, dark fruity florals, and leather-tinged perfumes, and is unanimously considered a standout among Avon’s offerings.
