Agent Provocateur

Agent Provocateur, released in 2000 by the British brand of the same name, was composed by Christian Provenzano and is presented as feminine. It is mainly floral, with a woody side and smaller spicy, musky and amber touches.

Indian saffron opens it with a warm, leathery and honeyed spice, unusual for a floral, while magnolia adds a creamy, lemony softness. The heart is rich: Moroccan rose brings a deep, velvety rosiness, gardenia a creamy, lush white floral note and Egyptian jasmine a warm, slightly animalic sweetness, with vetiver giving an earthy, dry edge. The base is warm and close: amber brings a golden glow, musk a sensual, skin-like softness and cedar a dry structure.

People generally report long-lasting wear, and most describe its sillage as strong. It is voted mainly for autumn and winter, and more often for night than day. It suits evenings, dates and occasions where a bold, sensual rose-saffron scent is wanted, for someone who likes florals with a dark, provocative edge.
