Agent Provocateur (for women)
Designer: Agent Provocateur Olfactive Group: Floral Woody Musk
!Agent Provocateur is the signature fragrance of the house. Its sharp very intensive animalistic and very provocative juice has become a modern classic combining Indian saffron, coriander from Russia, Egyptian Jasmine and Vetivert from Haiti among other exotic elements.
The fragrance is in a wonderfully tactile precious porcelain bottle with the shape of an egg (or a bomb?). It is so rosy and innocent, contrasting with its wild and shameless erotic scent.
The composition starts strong and sharp with a spicy note of saffron. Warm floral notes of magnolia, Indian jasmine and gardenia blend together with strong woodsy-chypre scent. There is very animalistic amber and musk notes in the base.
The perfume was created 2000 by Christian Provenzano.

I love this unique perfume. It is not a perfume that everyone in street has a similar smell. Perfect for eveving wear and supersexy for cold days :) At first it may seem very strong, but at least it is very long lasting.

Sexy, heady and yet powdery - this is the perfume to wear for all you minxy girls out there. The bottle is perfectly 'boudoir' and the scent really embodies the whole AP ethos of edgy-sexy not contrived sexy. Think boudoir bedrooms, powder puffs, liqour, silk lingerie and determination to have fun!
I had a real phase of wearing this but no longer wear it now . I'm age late 30's and it seems to me a late 20's early 30's girls perfume. The time when women grow in their sexual and social confidence.
It really is an exquisite scent, in words I would describe the fragrance as pink but spicy - totally feminine but it feels a bit naughty!

this is definitely a sensual classic fragrance that is launched in 2000.
in fact I couldn't believe my eyes looking at the notes!I mean I thought there are so many notes,like classic perfumes launched in 1950 or so.
saffron is very strong.it makes it both sweet and bitter and of course sharp with the dominant note of rose.
it's not a mild or teenagery rose.it's a very sharp and strong feminine one.in fact smelling it for a long time make me cough.
the woman who wears it should look really sexy and she can't be denied.but it's not my cup of tea.I prefer going back to my mild floral fruity fragrances.

Sooooo, what a scent! Not for me. Interesting on its own, but I feel it like a very refined sophisticate exercise of grossness. It pushes way too hard on a common stereotype. Their lingerie is gross, expensive poor quality, not even sensual. Just sexual in a male imagery's way, and gross. Ads are vulgar and phoney.
The first time I ever smelled this fragrance at a counter many years ago I thought I was going to faint. Sweaty!!!It doesn't smell like feminine sensual scent, rather like the smell of sex left on women bodies by men. Maybe this is what turn men on about this. Not a feminine smell, but a male smell with a female madeup face.
I had a vision from my childhood in the old '70s in a foggy polluted city in Italy: I was very little, about 4-5, and my height was about adults' knees. At that time average people bathed less, maybe not even having had sex and the average lady used to wear knee-lenght skirt with mid-brown nylon stockings and leather classic mid-heels shoes, thick wool coats with grounghog fur necks and scary crocodile leather bags. Well... AP smelled to me exactly like that strange nausenous smell that came from women's nyloned legs when I walked around hanging at my mother's hand. We met other ladies with children in the street and while the adults profused in phoney pleasantries and babygirls put their tongue out at each other, I smelled that smell: a mixture of unwashed panties, heavy body odours melt with cheap nylon, fabric smell, a fur neck smell in a cold wet weather, wet umbrellas, cracked make-up (typical heavy crap-scented big eye-shadow pencil in light blue and peacock green), Elnett hairspray on not so clean hair and over all this the fave scent of every lady, usually a concoction of indistinct flowers plus aldehydes and some cheap civet. All this is first whif of AP. Human dirt as the "agent provocateur" of something. I perfectly see why it is considered a brothel's smell even if I bet many of us have never been to one of them, especially a decadent romantic one...
I sprayed some at the counter than I went to an ice-cream parlour with a friend and the owner kept telling me I smelled sooo gorgeous and even wanted me to write down the French name so that he could buy some for his wife, haha! Then I got a big sample and used it in different time of the month. Uh! That changes! After a first strong knock it fades to an almost elegant floral floral slightly ambery scent. Weird. Everytime I put it on it smells a little different, but there are many days when it's just indecently unbearable. My problem with it is that I'm not sure if my perception of the scent I have on is the same others have of me. Beware I've been a long-term brave wearer of Amarige and the alikes, not a frilly fruity water lover for many years. Now I'm going lighter. With AP I could feel dirty in it and then people compliment me or I could smell AP quite clean that day while others get the animal stuff.
I think that many women can be drawn to wear this scent because they discovered that being the good girl is not often paying off in this world. The good girl screams: "hey man! Look at me! I can be brothel-naughty, hence sexually attractive!"
For some reasons I put this scent in the JPG The Woman trend. Same aim probably: the brothel. JPG's Classic was a sugary, pink alcohol-cleaned one, AP is a rose scented uncleaned one.
Also Vivienne Westwood Boudoir: even dirtier one and more Eyes Wide Shut sex imagery.
What this scent(s) misses totally is real irony and a whif of well-being/serenity/poetry/contemplation. None of that.
Edit: this week will be my birthday. I hope none of my friends is going to shell their money out on this for me! It would be nice to have a bottle for free. But if they want to give me YR Rose Absolue...

I can see why this one is a bit "much" for some people, It shouts "I am HERE!" from the moment it leaves the bottle. Give it time, it will calm down and be less effusive, but still demand attention. The Rose note is what stands out for me the most at this point; but this is no ordinary, lady like rose wrapped in tissue with babies breath....this is the darkest red rose, dipped in dark rose oil, left to dry and dipped again. It is the rose of absolute seduction....perhaps a bed of red rose petals crushed by the satisfied lovers who lay upon it....needless to say, I love it! I do wish for more sweetness in the drydown, I don't get the same amount of musk that others seem to get. But I will learn to live with that for such a fragrance as this!

I just purchased this perfume today. Oh I love this scent it's so sexy,animalistic and deliciously dark. I will probabily use it for night time only cause it is quiet strong.
05/02/09 03:16:37
Very different and unique I haven't tested many fragrances that are even on the same level as AP. I would imagine this is what a brothel would smell like, dark woods slight smoky tobacco like essence, and an animalistic almost masculine scent. It is a certain kind of sexy scent, but I don't think I could pull it off. I would think of a woman seducing and dancing, maybe burlesque,in a smoky room where men are smoking cigars.
05/01/09 12:54:57
very intensive fresh and rich scent. it tempts and porovokes to pay attention , but at the same time - has good ballanced strict clasique composition ;-) I recomend it wear for both - for woman and for men ;)
04/29/09 03:29:19
I'm afraid I must disagree with a large amount of the positive reviews below and say that I hated this one. It was knock-you-out strong, and though I rarely describe anything as old-lady-ish, it was something I wouldn't expect anyone under the 50-year-old set to be wearing. Looking at the notes, I think I might try this again, but I'm so skeptical after my first experience with it...
04/26/09 11:55:04
Agent Provocateur is a fragrance that I love .The first spray scares. It is too strong.After a few minutes it settles down to a nice flower powdery animalic smell with some hints of leather.
Don't give up AP based only on the first impression. It takes some time to develop into a comfortable scent that you'll carry for hours.
Besides, it's unique, mature and enigmatic... People used to sweet and childish bubble gum scents will not enjoy it...

I truly dislike it. It has a very sweet, cloying smell; I hate using cliches, but it really smells like an "old-lady's" perfume. I couldn't find anything sexy in smelling it. Reminds me of a cheap fragrance that just resembles sweat.
04/07/09 10:30:25
Agent Provocateur is such a distinctive, unique and daring fragrance.
When I first sprayed it, I was almost blown over backwards with the strong florals mixed with the spices. It was a little too heady and 'in-your-face' for my liking. However, minutes later I sniffed my wrist once again and realised that this fragrance was growing on me.
Slightly powdery, yet strangely sexy, Agent Provocateur is one perfume that changes with every sniff. One minute it's musky, next minute it's sour, the next it's sweet.
I agree with the majority that says that this fragrance is sexy, because it most definitely is sexy. However, in my opinion, Agent Provocateur is not your typical brothel scent, it is much classier, more suited to the woman that is in control and enjoys her own feminine sexuality.
Because this fragrance is primarily rose, jasmine and spices, this fragrance is for women and not little girls. The pink bottle with the black ribbon, although well suited to the fragrance, may attract younger consumers and discourage the more mature woman from trying Agent Provocateur.
I would wear this as an evening scent, since it exudes such elegance and sensuality. Although, like the overall promotion of the fragrance suggests, this can also be worn as an intimate night fragrance with that special someone.

I just received My AP and i am in love !!!!I just sorry that i got 30 ml bottle ,i cant get enough of it.So sexy ,so seductive and so differeent smell from all the stuff in the perfumery shops.For me the smell is not strong and sharp at all, it is very creamy and and rosy and little bit spicy on my skin.I feel very sexy wearing it.LOve it ,love it love it!!!P.SI dont like only the black ribbon,which reminds me of a funeral.
04/03/09 02:34:49
I didn't really know a floral could be sexy, but I was wrong. The florals and the spice mix nicely to create something that is very suitable for um, shall we say "romantic moments", kinda makes me want to pounce!
04/02/09 21:29:13
I just got my bottle in the mail.
WoW! NOT what i expected. And that's fine with me.
The initial spray was SO unlike any other perfume i've ever smelled. It begins with a NON-sweet blast, which i think is the saffron, coriander, and cedar. I could definitely detect the vetiver. There was also something... salty. Plus i could swear i smelled spikenard/jatamansi, although it isn't an ingredient.
At first i could barely smell the flowers, but gradually they emerged - i didn't smell any one clearly, but they softened the spices and woods, and added a richness to the scent. Then the underlying animal scent joins in.
I haven't reached full dry-down, but i anticipate a pleasantly surprising and unusual finale. I was just so excited i had to post before it got there.
My goodness, this is just fabulous. A perfume that smells like no other.
"Agent Provocateur" is not for the timid. It is not a scent to wear on a first date, nor when going out with conventional people. This is an edgy and modern scent.
Wow! Finally a perfume for a sophisticated modern adult! This one is really impressive. I am SO happy i bought it!

YaY me!!I finally got a mini of the infamous Agent Provocateur!!I have to say I was expecting just what I got.
It definitely is a love it or hate it scent & I do both.
When I first sprayed it on my wrist I took a whiff & went "Wheww this smells old fashioned,I don't think its for me".But Strangely I couldn't stop smelling my wrist.I kept bringing it up to my nose & breathing deeply until the moment I feel asleep.Although it is a little old fashioned it is also very sexy.Like a naked movie star from generations ago.
Why do I say naked??....Well it is the powder that I smell that makes me sense nakedness.You powder yourself without clothes on right?Well I get this & traces of perfume from long ago....nothing modern or mainstream.Traces of perfume that might be worn on women in a brothel.A Very Pretty women with long flowing hair & thigh highs on.Women that get what she wants & attracts anyone who dares to look at her.

I had a Déjà-vu when i smelled Agent provocateur the first time.This fragrance is very unique and extraordinary,and it's a love it or hate it scent.
I really like this fragrance but can't wear it all the time.The first sniff is very strong and spicy i think it's the safron,after a certain time you smell the floral notes mostly the rose and the woody notes.
Agent Provocateur is really Provocative but also very lovely.When i smell it from far away i smell the rose and it smells a bit soapy,and form the near it smells dirty,spicy and woody.It's WOW!
This scent last such a long time over 12 hours.The bottle is amazing i don't like eggs and i don't like pink,but i fell in love with this bottle don't know why,fits perfect to the smell and it looks very good it's noble and cute,and then this powerful but also very pleasant scent.
I think it's a fragrance for the nightlife but also for the daytime.It's how the people interpret this scent.When i wear it on the daytime i mostly smell roses and i feel clean with it,when i wear it at the nighttime i smell more the woody,spicy,sexy notes and it has a other effect for the people.A good fragrance for the spring,fall,wintertime.

powdery, musky, & quite heavy...smells a bit like something a hooker might wear. the florals in this perfume are just way too strong together.
03/09/09 16:41:23
i think men will get a headache when they smell this :p too powdry & overwhelming and when you just use 1 spray too many ppl will faint haha, but it does last quite long thats a +
02/22/09 13:26:54
If your nose decided to commit a sense-of-smell-suicide then Agent Provocateur's top notes is the way to go. If afterwards it still can distinguish scents then you'll find yourself in a fragrant heaven: amber and rose create an unusual and warm aura around you. It's even more of roses à la crème effect - so sweet and tempting... It's a pure Magic of Seduction in a bottle...
UPD: Agent Provocateur is a very unique scent. It's a scent you need to know how to appreciate. It might scare you at first with its originality but if you're brave enough to let this perfume make it's magic, it will be your secret weapon always and forever!

When i first sprayed it and inhaled - my face automatically wrinkled, which is definately not a good sign... With time passing by, the strength of the fragrance faded away and i could already enjoy the unusual notes of this perfume.
The scent is very seductive and i like it, but still (even 1 hour later)i wish it wouldn't be sooo strong and sharp. I can't imagine spraying this fragrance on my hands and neck and hair (as i usually do)...
As i'm thinking now, maybe i could enjoy this fragrance in the form of oil or body lotion...something that would have the same notes but softer and not so standing out.

i rarely wear this one, but I like its richness, sexiness and the way it challenges me. not a perfume for every day and every mood... it's really brash, loud and provocative, you can't stay indifferent in your relations with it.
and i like the whole marketing around it, which is very consistent with the scent!

Definitely very unique...
I find the saffron note a bit overpowering and the gardenia is not really my thing.
Nevertheless the fragrance strokes me. I think it smells like inside an expensive european bordello. Not exactly fresh but nice and mysterious. Whatsoever I don't think I could wear it, I am going to try strip maybe that suits my better.

Absolutely gorgeous perfume, very rich and outrageous.I love to spray it on my hair.It's the best way to wear this fragrance.
01/26/09 03:38:32
To begin with I loved this fragrance and wore it a lot. However these days I find it over-powering and a little sickly.
01/16/09 15:03:45
I don't know why, but I cannot wear this perfume. I put it on and immediately had to scrub it off. Something in it is offensive to my nose. It's a shame, too, because I can see many people love it. I, however, found it impossible to wear and gave it away to a friend. Maybe it is the saffron? I cannot be sure. The only other time I had this response to a perfume was with Bvlgari Blu.
12/14/08 11:10:32
Bitter Saffron and rose dusty with cedar. Brash, loud baby powdery scent. Urk.This one is offensive on me, even in tiny doses.
12/14/08 11:04:10
Provocative? Oh, yes!
I thought I found all bottled rose fragrance repellant, until I met Agent Provocateur.
It came on strong, with a sweet candied note—was it circus peanuts? I knew it was not for me. But then the rose revealed itself in the drydown over a salty, dusty, slightly animalic layer. Amazingly, the scent maintains two distinct layers all day. Not a duel, but not a duet, it is like a weak Bal à Versailles (formerly impossible to imagine!) shimmering under a layer of rose that is always fresh (in every sense of the term) .
This perfume is not exactly for me (and my husband hates it), but I hope someone I know starts wearing it so I can enjoy it from afar.
This agent provocateur incited me to try other rose scents and I regret nothing.

it's truly demanding - you have to watch what you wear, it's definitely far from casual. Draws attention - especially if it fits your style.
Not my style though. But my younger sister is in love with it (can understand her!)

I met this Agent Provocateur when I was at store and there was this man torturing saleslady about what should he buy for... (must be his woman). I wasn't interested in conversation as I was thinking what to try out today.Saleslady said that ' This one, Agent Provocateur is very strong...' and these words somehow pressed in my mind and ricocheted all the time. Until I was fed up and decided to go and find this one and try it. I didn't even know how it looked and did the man buy it. I remembered it to be at the top shelves (teenage girls never look up there, I was pretty sure that Shalimar at my place is hard to get, but then stumbled up with the help of sales assistant that it was 'hidden' on the top shelves as well, there where I never looked for it.). So I stretched up and and grabbed the pink trying not to destroy anything else near and sprayed it to my wrist many times. It definitely was a strong one and unusual one. The same challenge for me as Angel was. So at first it is quite edible, but already screams in all directions. My dad even told me that I smell very intense, maybe even too much. My other male friend told me that this one smells like incense sticks and Strip too. So the top notes are strong, delicious- there's much of saffron blended with magnolia so well that it is like whole one thing. Next comes spicy indian food with very dark rose and vetiver - that's how brothel in my opinion smells or should smell- it's dirty, animalistic but never cheap. I consider this as a very aggressive to men. I can without doubt consider this as my signature, but I like to wear many fragrances and I wear this one when I fell quite aggressive and playful as well (It's like silly jumping around, because I sometimes don't know where to put my energy).
Bottle is very pretty in 50 ml- so cute and accurate- it's from glass, but the pink is like 'icing'.
This stuff is very long lasting and works better on skin than on hair (I find it a bit odd when I smell my hair and it smells like this). If you apply it to your clothes then it can stay almost original smelling even after you wash it.

If you love the smell of Indian food, rose soap and sexed up skin then this is the fragrance for you. Agent Provocateur is perfect for a man or a woman and should never be abused. The juice is potent, but seductive (in a raunchy way)if used with a light hand. This one has the potential to knock one out upon first spray, so I advise that you give it enough time to settle before heading out or "staying in".

@ mari85: That's exactly the same with me. I was so disappointed to see that i didn't work with my skin at all...it must be different on other people, otherwise, they wouldn't buy or love it.

Such a complex, sensual fragrance and will satisfy those who like rose in its many facets.
Spicy, dark, gothic rose at the first spritz. Minutes later, the rose turns into something more sparkling, perhaps because of jasmine/magnolia started to arise. It was lasted for sometime before the rosy scent once again turned into something more intimate, more woodsy, muskier, quite powdery. Nice base notes, i think.
Agree. I also consider this provocative.

Spritzed myself with this at the drug store and quickly wished I hadn't! However, my husband loved it!!!

This didn't sit right with me and I have to agree with migotka that it smelled like something strangely medical and artificial...just made me nauseous and on the verge of a headache. I can't imagine anyone wanting to smell the same way as I did when I tried it on, so I'm guessing it has something to do with chemistry..
10/21/08 13:21:58
I think those who like this should try Creed 'Love in Black' ..miracle may happen, but not to my liking both of them

This fragrace is quite an enigma.So many contradictions in it.Spicy and dirty yet at the same time floral and clean,Strong and longlasting yet so close to the skin..To me it is something more than a feminine smell.To me AP reflects the complexity,the mystery the essence of a woman.It is very unique fragrance and therefore difficult to appreciate..I reccomend it as an evening scent and believe that worths the shot to anyone who likes sisley eau de soir or Narciso Rodriguez,animalic earthy smells that become one with the skin and blend with the wearers chemistry thus providing a different scent ""trail''to every person who wears it.
10/20/08 05:32:26
Can't stand this fragrance - it's very musky and way too powdery. I know it's meant to be sexy but it just smells of "brothel".
10/19/08 04:58:03
to love it or to hate it? cannot decide, quite strong, a bit masculine maybe? very unusual.. It is not really one that I would go for right away, but I will definitely give it another try.

I would place this fragrance in one line with Cabaret (Gres) and Narciso Rodriguez For Her. In my opinion, all 3 are sort of "soft Chypre". I like all of them, but prefer Agent Provocateur, as the one with more character.
The bottle fits to hand perfectly.

Though I have decided I like this perfume so much, that I have to buy it, I'm cant say that I find it very extreme or sexy. I like unusual parfumes, but this one is just clean and nice. In a good way. Maybe its acting different on my skin?

I like this, though am unsure as to whether or not I would actually wear it. On first smelling, reminded me of La Perla, from the late 80s, another scent from a high-end lingerie house. Sophisticated and yes, self-consciously sexy.

Smells horrible- my first impression was a medicine, but it is not it. Very artificial and heavy.
07/31/08 03:49:58
At the beginning the spicy start-off made me think - urghh, another spicy fragrance. But only shortly after the vetriver notes came to milden the hard spicy smell together with very femine floral notes. I can just say it is a clean, chick and seductive smell.
07/16/08 06:27:04
This is scent incredible!Sexy it is, indeed. I draws a lot of compliments, although it could be percived as quite daring...

Use this with pure vanilla body cream or fragrance etc.
It softens the sharpness, and gives warmth to the scent. It becames much more stunning.
Worth a try!

I dont no what it is, maybe the saffron oil also, but the top note is exactly like that festivalcolor that goes off in one wash (I mean those bright colours like reds, blues, green etc.)
In Finland children are using those on a workingclassparty at first of april.
Maybe in america they are using those at halloween?

This one smells really funny to Chinese, cause saffron oil is a so well-known medicine in China:)

I wanted to love this, but it had a strange, plasticky smell that I didn't care for. I prefer Maitresse.
10/29/07 10:54:19
This definitely starts off spicy and sharp and has that distinctive spice and Indian jasmine smell that lasts, for a good bit. It definitely dries down to that woodsy musk. It smells wonderful. I can't say, though, that it is as sexy as Maitresse.
10/29/07 10:45:08
I fell head over hills for this one. Oh, the burst of safron is overwhelming at the begining, but the melow musk and velvety rose at the end are worth every penny. This is so incerdibly sexy and provocative, yet the musk-note at the end manages to create the illusion of clean and sexy perfume, but dirty and erotic at the same time. 100% womanly!
09/11/07 07:15:12
this is their first fragrance and the best. I like it, it is really sexy.
