New from Frédéric Malle in collaboration with Sophia Grojsman (the nose behind scent successes such as Lancome Tresor, YSL Paris and Calvin Klein Eternity) is an exclusive scent for Barneys Co-Op. Designed for men and women alike, the fragrance is a succulent blend of capirihna, clean laundry, green apple, orange blossom, amber and cedar.
I'm curious to know whether the scent of clean laundry means we'll be seeing—er, sniffing—more of that in other fragrances. Imagine if there's a new wave of Eau de All or Eau de Tide coming soon!
Although the fragrance is not 100% organic, the packaging is made from recycled cardboard, so at least it's a step in the right direction. According to an interview with Simon Doonan of Barneys New York, Malle says that the fragrance "had to be right for Co-Op. I wanted an androgynous, super-sexy scent, like a good pair of jeans ..."
I like how that comparison resonates and it kind of makes me want to smell it now. What do you think? A bottle of Outrageous sells for $110 and is available in a 100ml size only.

Recycled cardboard for packaging-that's great!
1Sounds like it might smell good... I'd give it a spritz...
2I super love clean smelling things..
With that title, font and exclamation mark, it looks like a spoof.
3Sounds like a very unique smell!!!
4$110 to smell like clean laundry? I think I'd rather save the cash and rub a dryer sheet all over my body.
5If it smells really clean and refreshing, I'd buy it.
6I don't like the scent of clean laundry most of the time. Not that I like the smell of dirty laundry, but I get nauseated by all the horrible, synthetic perfumed detergents. You know, Tide's take on Mountain Rain, which smells nothing like actual rain. I only use the perfume free stuff.
This reminds me that I have to take my towels out of the dryer. Whoops.
