Histoires de Parfums Outrecuidant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Julien Rasquinet and Fanny Bal. Outrecuidant opens with Grapefruit, Blackcurrant, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Cardamom, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Histoires de Parfums's Outrecuidant carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Outrecuidant is a divisive beast. Expect a chaotic, animalic leather with sweet fruity nuances that some find alluring and others utterly repulsive. It's a challenging wear for confident types, not for the faint-hearted.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant projection is far too dominant for an office setting. It shines in evening and formal wear, where its sensual, mysterious character can truly make a statement, but it's too much for casual or sporty activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a punch of juicy pineapple and tart redcurrant leaf, swiftly followed by a rich, warm spice medley of saffron and cardamom. The heart unfolds into a dark, smoky leather, animalic and potent, underscored by earthy patchouli and creamy woods like sandalwood and cedar. A truly bold and complex olfactory journey.
