Outlaw has grown a little ripe living out in the wilderness . . .
Tried this several times to get a solid feel for it . .
The first night the opening was awesome, a burst of fresh, pure cedar . . . but there was a pungent and sharp, unpleasant sour note that came out around the heart and lasted till the end. I believe it was the balsamic/vinegar qualities of the cedar, benzoin, and cashmere wood amplifying each other in the worst way possible. Had a similar experience the second night. I still didn't want to give up on it, so I wore it for a full day . . . and no sour note! Weird, just the cedar - which admittedly still has a bite - but at this point, it was missing the freshness. So at the end of day 3, it just felt underwhelming as a fragrance, nothing special.
Bottom line, I'd say this is one Outlaw who's grown to smell a little ripe living out in the wilderness, and once you get to know him, he's not as exciting as he first led you to believe. There's probably more polished and glamorous criminals you can score with.
That said, Outlaw would be a great candidate for a 2.0 version - a reformulation where the sourness is removed (i.e. take the benzoin and cashmere wood out) and add some elements to soften and lift the cedar. I’d still want it to be cedar dominant, but I’m thinking of cedar-smoked salmon from the Pacific Northwest as inspiration. Maybe add some touches of blackberry, fish oil, and campfire scents to compliment the cedar. That’d be killer. Outlaw could be the scent of the outlaw cooking the fish he caught from the stream over an open campfire, garnished with wild blackberries or sage, and using a cedar branch as skewer …
