Strip Agent Provocateur for women

It´s best after half an hour on the skin IMO. A warm, addictive scent. It has most of the best. Gorgeous amber, soft wood, and I'll say it again, it´s warm, wonderfully warm and cozy. It wraps me in like a shawl. I love it. Reminds me a bit Prada by Prada.
Best for evenings.

Hot! Hot! Hot! (in the words of The Cure) - I keep a stash of this under my bed cos I love it so much - warm, dark, sexy, smoky, it's gorgeous. Hard to call it subtle though it is warm but there is a kind of subtlety to Strip if applied lightly, maybe that is the amber? Whatever it is, AP Strip is wicked in the best way...

Can someone tell where I can buy this? I'm in the US

Very ambery and musky. A strange scent on me and it doesn't develop much.

Strange! I've expected a lot when I ordered AP Strip blindly, but I never have guessed, what it really was! It is a pure amber perfume on me; it reminds me heavily on an amber, I've smelled before: Madini's Amber (which is much better than AP, if you like it sensual, go for that sexy biest). Madini's Ambergris reminds me of the first few dark minutes of AP. Those I don't appreciate as I don't appreciate Madinis Ambergris.

They copied Madini, why not, better than inventing something unpleasant. It's a good copy, by the way. The animal sensuality of Madinis Amber is a little tamed down and they added a nice little powder note. Better suited for everyday use.

It also resembles Ava Luxe's Amber Essence, still it remains much better than Amber Essence (I don't like Ava's Amber scents so far).

In the end it makes sense, that some react on AP Strip very much: Amber is the most senual of all smells, I think. Unfortunatly I find it a bit lame on it's own and in Strip also. We'll see if it stays in my wardrobe, or if I'll give it a new home some day. Not a must-have for me.

AP reminds me, that I really should more frequently grap one of my Madinis scents.

Read an earlier review that it is patchouli in Strip and I can smell it. To me Strip is a deep smokey lovely perfume, glad I have it.

Not to offend anyone but similar to JPG Classique....no way, not to me. I had JPG Classique and it's a sweet perfume.

I Love Strip. It is similar to JPG Classique, but fruitier.

I wish AP would resurrect this one. Does anyone know why Strip was discontinued ? I am consoling my yearning with L'Agent for now as Maitress really did not suit me.

Also, is it me, or is the Limited Edition of Strip rather like L'Agent ? I seem to be catching hints of the Ltd Ed of Strip in L'Agent !

I always hated labling fragrances as sexual, magical, men magnet or whatever that gives it any sort of nonhaving power, but getting to know Strip changed my view about this matter… Yes, it is sexy and alluring, almost a piece of devil’s work.

What I smell within it are loads of the aphrodisiac ylang-ylang, strong, exotic, alluring and bare! It is followed by the powdery iris flower which, in my opinion, prevents the scent from being overwhelmingly strong and arrogant. If you manage to go through this powerful opening that I heard some associate with the rough smell of beer, without dismissing it, the next thing you will get is a trace of musk that penetrates the composition while warm and animalistic, untamed ambery notes swirls around all of them throughout its lasting…

Needless to say, it has very wide aura, red characted and passionate heart beating in its body.

I did not like one of the Agent Provocateur scents yet. I find them to be cheap smelling florals that are out by so many companies, especially drugstorecompanies. Also I do not like the image or marketing of these scents.

On me it is similar to Calamity J by Juliette Has a Gun, the vetiver here replaces the patchuli in Calamity J. I like it very much! Slightly musculine and very sexy...

On me, this is a strong mix of baby talc and floral notes. Not my favourite AP fragrance, but lovely nevertheless.

This is ridiculously sexy, which I think is due to the heady mix of amber and woody notes. You only need one spritz of this, as it's almost overpowering otherwise, and the sillage is excellent.

Smells too old fashion,like aint from 50-60`s last century((((Too bad

This is nice amber-leather smoke perfume but only for special occation like Valentine's day like today.
DocElly's critic is fantastic.

Strip is primarily a sweet vanilla-based scent that manages to avoid being foody, floral, or “feminine”. Initially the vanilla/coumarin main note is accompanied by citrusy geranium, boozy rum, and woody vetiver notes with slight undertones of civet. As it dries down the animalic notes rapidly disappear and it becomes a unified woody, ambery, tobacco-vanilla scent.

I think the name is unfortunate because it causes people to have all sorts of associations with sleazy strip clubs, which they project onto the fragrance. To me, this perfume is more evocative of an old-fashioned, conservative men’s club full of pipe tobacco and strong drinks, maybe one in an exotic locale, one of those old boys’ clubs that excluded women of all types, including strippers. If the perfume had been called “Wheeling and Dealing in pre-Castro Havana”, or even “Havana Vanilla” (oh, sorry, that one’s taken) I’m willing to bet that people would smell something entirely different.

There’s a good bit of sillage, but it’s not loud or overpowering. After the first half hour the scent is fairly linear, the only change being a slight powdery note that creeps in after a few hours. Otherwise, the vanilla-tobacco-rum scent just gradually fades away.

The sample I tested was generously supplied some time ago by a Fragrantica member, so I don’t know its concentration. I suspect it is an EdT. In any case, it lasts at least 8 hours. I was surprised to find that I really like Strip, and would not hesitate to wear it in public, its name notwithstanding.

An okay amber wood scent. Goes on powdery, with too much loud floral, but it mellows into a soft ambery powder with citrus like notes. The only AP scent that remotely worked for me to date.

Strip is unforgettable :a bit like Agent Provocateur, a bit like Maitresse...but very spicy, sexy, warm and punchy.

Strip features Aldehydes, Amber, Iris, Jasmine, Musk, Osmanthus, Patchouli, Rose, Violet, White Lotus, White Suede, Ylang-Ylang, Geranium

icredible sexy scent, this will hit the heart and soul of every man crossing your way! uhhhhhhm this is dangerous !

Slap a pricetag on me and call me a hooker, but this scent is my alter-ego - and my regular ego is the vintage Miss Dior! I feel like such a Two-Face.

I don't think there's anything special about this dirty musk - it is neither classic, nor revolutionary, and it's not even the dirtiest musk there is, as the name might suggest. It's not even the most sensual or exotic of the Agent Provocateurs... The classic AP = the dirtiest musk of an "experienced" lady (most musky and sensual), AP eau emotienelle = sweet musk of the "innocent" girl (most exotic), AP Maitresse = you know it, the domantrix (most sass)...

BUT! Strip has the exact combination of notes that fits my taste perfectly, and these notes are also balanced just right. I'm sure my chemistry is helping too - my skin retains the top notes till the end, and I love both ylang-yang and iris, so I'm not complaining! Maybe that's why I love it so: it's not all that daring, but just a lovely subdued ambery musk with just the right floral notes and just a hint of vetiver for a touch of masculinity. It's not "special occasion" at all (the *other* special occasion, of the AP kind).

If my current signature wasn't Miss Dior - because let's face it, once you commit to her, you can't cheat on her - I would be a Strip girl. So if you get a bottle of it and don't love it, please pass it in my direction!

Darling, I just got some tea with honey, pour some brandy or maybe rum in it, I don't know. Took some spices, one of it - cumin, light my cigarette and ohhhh, I just enjoyed it. After that its time for special cake. No, not one from the store, but from old granny's house and from the old oven. And this cake was put in granny's boxroom till I came and got that cake...
Yeah sugar, that is all Strip. My strip for you, such modern-rural strip. What can I do? I am feeling that way :)

CK Obsession/ML Encens Liquide/PG L'Ombre Fauve drydown, these are all very similar to my nose, so nothing new for me to experience here. Very pleasant though :)

I remember the first time I smelt Strip. It was strong and smelt like cherry punching you in the face. I decided to give it some time, and I'm so glad I did, because now I love it. It settles down to a musky smell, and is really nice. The staying power is excellent, it last such a long time.

I don't like the other Agent fragrances, so I'm just waiting until another Strip comes along.

I just got my Strip. At first it was quite strong, reminded me of Baised du Dragon by Cartier, but then after 15 mins it turned more soft, and sweet, now it feels more lovable, smooth, soft. Very Alluring. Definitely would recommend this on romantic wear ;)

Just tried this one on today - I love it! No way is this an old lady smell. I've noticed that some members label Opium, some Estee Lauders, Chanel No 5, etc, old lady-ish. Strip has nothing in common with these perfumes. One me it is sweet and smoky. It reminds me strongly of high quality tobacco, especially one with a dark cherry and vanilla blend. Very alluring and different. I smelled my wrist all day.

This scent mixes strangely with my chemistry. It opens ambery, then starts to smell faintly of black olives. I guess I like black olives...I can't pick out the floral notes very clearly. In a couple of hours, the olive note subsides and the scent turns more creamy. To me, it's just woody and sweet (and olivey.)It's different. I probably wouldn't buy a bottle, except that my husband seems to love it and he is pickier about perfumes than I am. He says he smells olives all day and smells none here! Thank you to the generous member who sent me the sample!
update:
I must amend my opinion on this one. I have a full bottle now and I am becoming quite addicted to this. The dry down really is awesome, I love this perfume now!

I love the original AP and the Diamond Dust AP edition. Strip is so far away from both of those scents. I would best describe it as hot, sweet tea served in an amber teacup (if such a thing were possible, LOL!) I get none of the floral notes in Strip. It comes across immediately as wood, spice and amber. It takes on a bit of an almond/Play-doh note at the end of its dry-down.

Strip has many points in its favor. It is well-crafted. The bottle is gorgeous. Longevity and sillage are decent. I could see this being a great evening scent on the right woman, so I'll give it respect, but alas, no love. Just not for me. I recommend sampling before purchase.

*Haha, I posted this comment for the wrong perfume, it belongs here:)*

WOAH, this IS provocating allright! With one little splash a bomb explodes on to my skin, makes my head spin circles. I think it's also because of the climate here (kind of wet): everything smells more intense and women wear light fragrances. But okay, I think it's all about the drydown with this one, which leaves a sexy powdery smell... reminds me of those old movies with women who smoke cigarettes on those long stick-things in silk robes. In other words: I'm not like that everyday, so this would suit me on rare occasions. But if you feel very femme fatale, you should definitely give it a try!

it has a creamy woodsy vanilla-like
opening but i think there a note missing praline wait a minute i'm picking up very potent scent of amber
very heavy indeed. i think this is to
sweet in my taste so i don't really
care for sweet candy like scents.

This is the best of all the AP frags, its smokey, sexy, sultry, sweet and musky and woody all at the same time.

The vetiver is almost certainly responsible for the smokey aura of this fragrance, it definitely reminds me of cigars in a strip club - which is kind of erotic in a feminine way. The musk and amber add to the warmth, they grow and envelope, and make this a really cosy perfume to wear. The geranium in the base adds to the rose overture of the scent, and woods keep it grounded and earthy.
I must admit to not being a fan of ylang-ylang, but in this fragrance its very sweet, very *come-hither*!

The fragrance overall reminds me of a retro/pin stripe clad gangster/cigar /classy mistress/smokey/club style perfume - and to me its awesome!!! This is such a pretty perfume, its warm and seductive and IMHO the best of ALL the AP fragrances. I will repurchase this in a heartbeat!

i find 'controversial' frags alluring and would love to get my hands on a bottle. if my chemistry is right ,i'd adore it as i really find matrisse downright flamabelly HOT on my skin.

This is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. When I first put it on, the ylang ylang was screaming at me loud enough to make gag. Horrendous. Then I went out for dinner and kept catching the scent if something musky and sweet, took me a while before I realised it was me. The dry down on this is delicious, smells just like musk lifesavers. I live it but I'm not sure I can repeatedly get through the harrowing opening to justify a bottle. I do live the original AP though so I might just stick with that. Worth a try, I have a feeling body chemistry is important with this one.

I am really glad that I had the opportunity to wear Strip for some time before deciding whether to buy it or not. I adore the classic Agent and I expected Strip to become my new fave for the season but now I know that this is simply not my frag. The top notes are smokey and spicy, almost suffocating. Then the scent calms down a bit and I can easily detect some rose nuances. The base is pleasant and ambery but not special enough to tempt me into buying a bottle, besides, the lasting power is limited, unlike the classic Agent, which I would definitely keep buying :)

I wish Agent Provocateur hadn't made this a limited edition; it's their best perfume and my absolute favourite! I'm going to have buy as many bottles of this as I can get my hands on.

This is an overdose of amber, with powdery indolic flowers--smoky, dirty, sharp. Many perfume fans here find it sexy, and surely, so do some others in the outside world--But my idea of a sexy fragrance is a little bit more complex and surprising, and less overdosing and violent. There are so many sexy amber scents out there, and being more of a fan of musk--even more musky marvels. Do not buy this one unsniffed, no matter how much you think you like amber.

I could see myself appreciating the original Agent Provocateur in a dirty seedy smoke-clouded club (not my scene), but this one almost seems overbearing for a clubber girl, that is, unless she is the alpha female who the boys try to keep up with.
I'll just say that the scent is interesting because it's unique--

I can smell a touch of iris with the screaming ylang ylang, and the entire contents of a whale's stomach....But once the scent dries down and softens a bit becomes less disturbing, although still skanky, in a modern way. I almost didn't even want to ask my boyfriend what he thought about this, since this man seems to have similar fragrance preferences to mine-he likes most the perfumes I like most, and I always ask him his opinion before telling him the name and my verdict....

I put my wrist to his nose and he winced and said "That's powerful". I said that it might be my skin chemistry, it might be perfect for someone else, to which he replied "I can't imagine that smelling good on anybody." Well, it's not going to smell "good" on anybody, but it will suit those who want to wear their unsecret weapons and those who find perfumes with the strength of Opium too subtle.

Smells smokey :P a weird fragrance. I did not like it. Not for me

Hmm, not sure about this one. On spraying, it reminds me at first of Calvin Klein's Obsession and then, in it's extremely powdery way of Chantilly by Houbigant (not good!). Patchouli comes through strongly midway through the wearing (yum). I also catch a whiff redolent of some supposedly pheremonal minor perfume of the 80s that I can't remember the name of. I recently acquired a bottle of this 'blind', being fascinated by the reviews I'd read and up til today only tried it on the wrist. I wasn't impressed but last night found that a trace of it on my sheets was a lovely sleep luller. Today I'm wearing it on the neck and, although it is lacking in complexity for me, it feels comfortable enough to wear. Don't catch any of the musk at all in this, just patchouli ambery powderiness. Still, might be a grower ...

Update: This is definitely a grower! It is very nice and indeed comforting to wear.
My favourite bath oil is Comfort by Liz Earle which I was surprised to love as it was the spicy one of a set of 3. It does what it says on the bottle. I've run out and am getting some more for Christmas.
I think I will apply Strip after a bath with this as I think they will work very well together.

Strip smells like an upper-class courtesan/call girl/ escort.

Not exactly sexy in a trashy sense, this fragrance brings out a womans rawness. It is sexy, but has class

It is very powdery on my skin... warm floral notes are also evident. I don't find it sexy, but it is still very interesting and cosy.

Oh my the drydown is great,i tried it on my skin today.But the top is a bit sickening,hope i can manage to get threw it because i love the base.

This is my favorite out of all of the Agents.
I think this is because it is so much warmer then the rest.
Agent Provocateurs are supposed to be super sexy! The others, while being lovely I don't find sexy.
When i think sexy i think dark hot and more then inviting.
This perfume has the most "Come and get me!" feeling!

So very inviting!

I'm interested. But is it really that good? Tried it two times. The first it was wonderful it had all I wanted. The second time I was not so impressed...Hm.

I forgot my Strip at my mom and dad's place, and I missed it so much, because its leathery-ambery scent was so cozy and sexy at the same time.

I like its sharp opening, I smell herbal-leather notes in it, and it challenges and pleases me, then the fragrance becomes sweeter, less aggressive and warm, I love this part too, and me, my husband and children love the smell of my pillow, when I wear Strip.

Strip is cozy scent of being home with my family in the evening.

I remember trying it on and oh god I hated the opening it was waaaayyy to strong and over powering. But then later on it developed into a nice,warm and spicy scent and the dry down was pure woody-musky heavy. I would definatley recommend this to lady who prefers darker and heavier scents.

For me this is the best from Ap frags.Very smoky,dry sweet and sexy.I cant stop smelling my wrist .it makes me wild really.unique smell!

I got a sample and I´m just trying it.
It´s nice but not sexy. It´s sweet and woody. It´s different from everything I ever smelled. I can´t smell flowers here, only musk, amber and woods. It also make me think of tobacco.
I think it may fits better on cold weather.

To me, Strip smelt like a candy store, sickeningly sweet, overpowering and musky. There is such a huge difference between this fragrance and the other Agent Provocateur scents.

Strip is somewhat of a clubbing/nightlife fragrance. It is strong and slightly smokey, reminding me of a room shrouded in cigarette smoke, glittering with fluro dresses and smelling of liquor and booze. This scent oozes naughtiness and sexuality, however, as much as I love sexy fragrances, this fragrance does not appeal to me. I consider sexy perfumes as being dark, sensual and dirty, Strip is none of those. It is sugary sweet, skanky and musty. I think that 'sexy' requires an element of class and maturity to be desirable.

EDIT:
I spoke too soon, as now Strip is a part of my wardrobe. The first time I tested Strip I couldn't detect the tea note, nor would I have liked it back then even if I had. It's not as sweet as I previously took it to be, and its much more sultry and leathery than I could have imagined.

An amazing fragrance, very sexy and great for nights out and about.

Wow! I received this as a birthday gift and I love it! It smells exactly like the drydown in my favorite perfume, Prada Amber. This will definitely be in my rotation for casual and office wear as Prada is too strong sometimes and offensive to others initially, although I love all its phases. Strip is very warm and woodsy, with a little kick of mysteriousness, not old ladyish at all. Reminds me of magical warm golden sparkles swirling in a rich dark amber accord. Very calming, yet sensuous and a little provocative. I think this would be great for summer, or any season actually. In fact, this could be considered a lighter version of Prada. For those that think it is not strong enough, like Trevil, try Prada! My husband likes the powdery woodsy smell of Strip, but I think he prefers the stronger allure of Prada. Both are fantastic !!!!

Finally this perfume arrived. I open the box, sprayed in my wrist and... oh god, It's horrible! But then, after a while it was love at second sight! It has this smokey note and a calm spirit.
When my mom smelled it, she asked me if it was an aphrodisiac perfume :D

I had a similar experience like alicektn...

I bought it blind... can't explain why, I guess it was a spontanious act.
I got a bit nervous when I tried the classic Agent Provocateur a few days before I got Strip in the mail... the classic one is not exactly my kind of thing.
So when I sprayed Strip I was ready to be disappointed ...and I was. that smell! It reminded me of an old wooden armoir in my childhood. It was where my father stored all his pipes, the tobacco and the cleaning/care substances.
Not a bad smell at all but it just did not feel right as a perfume on me! Luckily an hour later the notes changed and it got this soft feminine touch to it. Mixed with the remaining spicy and smokey notes it makes it to one of the most intriguing fragrances in my repertoire.

I must say though, I was a bit disappointed by the bottle. I expected the fish-net to be real fish net. Sadly it is only some kind of foil, plastic print on the bottle which leaves a bit of a cheap impression...

When I first sprayed it on I thought my self "YUCK!!!!!Old lady!!! EW!Hate it!"

But after it developed...It's another story.
Imagine a beautiful eastern sudectress, that has used a shimmering perfumed powder with classic smell on her body.In her candlelit room she burns aromatic flower sticks and franckincense.
Well,this is the smell of Strip for me...

I dying to try this perfume. I buy it on ebay and I'm waiting for it. I hope I don't get disapointed.

I wore this one for the first time today, and my other half's reaction to it was "Get your kit off"... Later on he elaborated that he finds it sexy in the sultry sense; not too strong that its heavy like Opium (he hates that), but not too soft to be ordinary.
I agree with him that it is distinct- I don't have anything else like it anyway. Its more feminine than Hugo Boss Intense and much more wearable (for me) than CK Obsession.
Personally, this is my favourite AP fragrance so far.

This fragrance is very woody. The dry-down reminds me of sawmill. I love it? I'm totally crazy about it...
Now I got it and remember how I didn't like it at all when sprayed on paper. On paper it's strong geranium and woods.
Lasting power is great. It's very sexy ;D I think it's pretty similar to L'Arte De Gucci (geranium)only Strip is more woody and lighter than L'Arte, but the feeling is right, I sniffed Strip and compared it with my still intense smelling L'Arte edp mini and it's like Strip is little sister of L'Arte.
The wood and geranium smells so nice and hot I like it :D (I hated geranium smell, when had these flowers at home) Maybe because its combined with wood.
Settles down so beautifully- woody and sweet, vetiver in this is as good as in AP signature :D
The most cool thing is that it lasts all day long and if you apply it on neck and later look on the cellar you can feel it even at the end of day.
My bottle is red with black splashes and has latex ribbon, the motif is just plastic thing that is 'warmed up' to fit the bottle (just like Eastern egg ;D), a bit cheap impression.
They MUST make it their regular perfume not limited edition :D

i love it:)) it is very alluring and serious. it's heavy so i don't use it in the summer...it is perfect for winter...very dominant and sensual:)

When I smells Strip first time (I bought it by unknown, cause i like Maitresse), I feel elderly (not sexy) scent.
I don't use it...

this works on the opposite sex , well it does for me.its so sexy it even turns me on!!!!! girls this will drive guys wild!!!!!

Smoky, sexy and special.

I like 75 percent of this fragrance - a part reminds me of the "classic" perfumes like Coco, which I don't like, but there is a very spicy, sexy side that can be found in Clarins Par Amour, as well.

I think the Strip very sexy and powerful.
Only take great care not to contaminate with that wonderful perfume!

I work in fragrance tried it for first time today drives me wild!!!! and nuts!!!!!

I love it, it completely makes me wild and crazy :D

Yes, it is the sexiest scent by Agent, well balanced, it smells just like described above.

A powerful and sensual scent with great amber accord! Its so warm and sharp at the very beginning, and after 12 hours I smell it's very noticeable, but calmer, very beautiful.
