Agent Provocateur Eau Emotionnelle

Whenever I tidy my dresser, half the perfume bottles I'm using at the time go in a drawer. Agent Provocateur (the original), Eau Emotionelle, and L'Agent are the three I always leave out. They look so pretty as a group, especially next to the black bottles of Keiko Mecheri's Attar des Roses and Habanita by Molinard that I have displayed permanently, too. My 3 year old niece came up to my bedroom a few months ago and asked to try on one of my "fumes". Based on the bottle alone, she chose EE. I was happy because I knew that it was nice and light... and that it would smell good on her! I really love the packaging of AP perfumes because the bottles each reflect the type of scent contained therein. Eau Emotionelle has a lacy design that represents the airiness of the light, but intricate scent. Now my niece comes each week, and putting on EE is one of the first things she likes to do when she arrives. She can even spray it herself, as I taught her to make sure the nozzle faces away from her face and towards the back of her hand. I only let her spray once, then I let her spray my arms a couple times. I adore my niece. She's beautiful, and girly like me, but with a fearlessly independent and communicative streak like me, too! We just hang around in a lovely cloud of EE for hours, doing baby yoga, playing guitar, reading, and watching fairy tales on youtube. Prior to babysitting her at my home, I only used EE to spray my lingerie drawer once in a while in summer, or if I have a bad cold in the winter and don't want to use any strong perfumes since I can hardly smell anything anyways. I initially bought it because it was dirt cheap and I liked the reviews. I always liked it... but now that it reminds me so much of my niece and the wonderful times we have... I LOVE IT! I should buy 2 more bottles, one for backup and one to give her years from now. The scent is a bit of fresh green, with sweet floral and dry herbal notes. Clean and joyful, but with a whisper of innocence.

Much more Peacemaker than Provocateur to my senses. Emotional? Yes, but one of contentment. Ease. Affection. It lacks the passion of the original, and that's just fine with me...at times. The original holds your arms over your head in the heat of a pleasurable moment. It invades your senses. Eau Emotionelle walks with you hand in hand in the park. Smiles. Comments on your pretty summer dress. Listens while you talk. A gentle, caring, fragrant friend. The notes do not all present to me. I smell a persistent coriander dusted magnolia from beginning to end. A beautiful vetiver, prominent musk and white tea note, done exceptionally well. I can detect the pink pepper, but only on the top. At no point in the development of this composition due I detect gardenia, ylang-ylang, amber or osmanthus. They're all notes I love, but they are not missed here by me. Agent Provocateur Eau Emotionnelle is perfect as is. Friendly, feminine and perfectly peaceful.

Androgynous 50ies pin-up Narciso. I am so pleasantly surprised by this! There are some negative reviews, but this is really very nice. It has the same quality of musk as Narciso for her EDP (tall pink bottle) with a tea/aromatic overlay instead of peach/rose. Such a nice, refreshing take on musk. I feel like a pin-up wearing this. Back in the day women used to wear aromatics, now I feel cool and androgynous, totally modern. It is more of a retro wink, than an actual dated smell. It is actually quite strong, but much more wearable then the OG. It has the same feel as the OG, herbal sexy chypre, but I prefer this by far. Lasts all day on me with quite big sillage the first hours. I did overspray because it seems a subtle scent but I had to open the car window so it definitely has presence. If you can find it, get it!

Eau Emotionelle captures everything I love about this house: fiercely sexy “neo-vintage” compositions, attractive packaging, and ridiculously low prices for the quality and uniqueness of their fragrances. It easily competes with Parfums Gres for what I think are the best budget-friendly fragrances that punch far above their weight. (However, I don't see any similarity between this one and my signature scent, Gres Cabaret.) The textured musk and coriander lead the compositions, with a chorus of supporting notes featuring magnolia, white tea, black currant, and rosemary. It’s complex and sultry without being heavy–good for intriguing the people around you or for feeling minxy during any occasion.

This is an all time favourite of mine. It’s an absolutely beautiful, sexy scent. It’s an airy pink musk, it leaves a very ethereal and very feminine scent trail like no other. It is a pink fragrance that smells a little bit rosy however not in a typical rose or peony fashion, I think it’s the magnolia giving this impression. It’s ever so light and a little bit spicy. It dries down to a soft feminine skin scent that lasts for hours. I think this is a man killer, it’s irresistible in my experience. I love wearing this fragrance and I’m devastated that it has been discontinued like many of my other all time favs.

AP's Eau Emotionnelle was everything I had hoped it would be, and more! Some have described it as weak or watery, but I don't find this to be the case! This is not a "blast-you-in-the-face" fume, nor is it intended to be. The scent is simple (yet complex), feminine (yet not overwhelmingly so), and incredibly versatile. This frag is really quite intoxicating to me; wearing it *almost* makes me hot for myself ;) Staying power is great on me, and my dry skin tends to gobble up scents rather quickly. Others must move in closer to catch a whiff, which I can see leading to some very intriguing possibilities...

I agree, this is quite different than the other creations in AP line. This lady is full of emotions, she is vulnerable. The scent is not animalic or somewhat I can call sexy. To me it is quite green and innocent. One of the best tea scents I have tried, spiced with coriander & rosemary, brightened with jasmin and magnolia. Strong vetiver and amber prevent it to be a floating scent, it is rather grounded and a bit old fashioned in a good way. Staying power is good and scent becomes better and better as it dries down. This is a keeper in my collection and I think spring will be the best season to wear it.

Like all the Agent Provocateur fragrances I own, AP Eau Emotionnelle falls into a category I like to call “neo-vintage.” It has a timeless, feminine vibe. It's vintage without being too dated, nor does it contain old-school aldehydes (which make me smell like a nursing home). It's a full-bodied composition. The middle notes are a bit soapy, but in an appealing way. The top notes give it some beautiful texture and the base notes are light but provide a stable foundation. To me, AP Eau Emotionnelle is a sexy, confident, feminine scent with a unique sense of style– like many AP fragrances.

This is one of my all time favourite perfumes for working and studying. To me it's very aromatic and I think the rosemary in it is especially unusual and helps me to focus. It also has really good longevity and I can usually detect it all day even after just one spray. It feels a bit odd to be wearing a perfume that's branded as "sexy" when I want to be serious, but that's how I perceive it. I can also see how this might be perceived as being sexy though, but sexy in a vintage ladylike Chanel No 5 sort of way.

Update! I just figured out my fiance goes CRAZY when i wear this fragrance. I don't think that he realizes it, but whenever I wear this to bed...well let's just say I wake up with a smile on my face. lol I never really smelled any similarities between this and SJP Lovely, but that's the only other fragrance I wear that makes him bury his face in my neck. So I don't smell it, but i guess it's there!

This is a powdery, lightly floral white tea fragrance through and through. Tea is top with coriander, a hint of rosemary, the reminder of the smell of pepper without the bite or sneeze quality/without the spice, musk, and some osmanthus. This is a tea fragrance if you like tea and a tea fragrance you may like if you don't like tea fragrances.

This smells like a lingerie store, or at least that's what I think of when sniffing. The initial spray is a bit off putting, with a blast of white tea, rosemary, and a hint of magnolia...quite a strange combination. Then it quickly calms so a pretty delicate magnolia and pink pepper surrounded by musk and supported by a quiet base of vetiver.

well i smelled lots of perfums,but this is a sexy stuff definatelly!!!.i will keep it only for the moments when i am with someone special,if u know what i mean;)............mmmm i am gonna buy bigger bottle i love the smell.One of my favourites ,two thumbs up!veeeeeery seductive smell and also veeery long lasting

It’s a lovely light aromatic musky perfume. Coriander, white tea, and musk dominate the overall smell, putting the florals only cheerleading in the background. It’s quite sexy without being dirty like the original AP.

I prefer this to the original Agent Provocateur perfume, which I find more soapy. This is lighter and fresher, a little sweet with the rosemary and white tea, but still sultry and longlasting.

delightful little gem. This one sticks on my skin for more than a day (don't know why). It is soft, optimistic en friendly. Somehow I like the AP flankers better than the originals. Strange.

I don’t know what to say other than I looooove soooo much. It’s going to be hard to find another fragrance for myself that compares!

I love it. It's a very characterful, strong and heavy perfume. I would recommend it for those who are above 30.

I always had good feelings about agent provocateur perfumes,they seem to be original,high quality and reasonably priced but unfortunately they're very difficult to find in my country and almost nobody knows they even exist.recently I found two of them and I decided to choose eau emotionnelle as my first experience with this brand as I love musk and magnolia and it was very cheap(3.4oz tester was 30$) so even if I didn't like it I wouldn't loose much Yesterday I received my AP eau emotionnelle and I couldn't wait to try it.I really like their egg shaped bottles and I wish they continue to make their fumes in such bottles,their similar shape but different colors and patterns encourages people to collect them and I also decided to find them all(even by ordering from foreign countries and collect them) though my first experience with this brand wasn't a hit As I spray it I can pickup magnolia but it's blended with herbal/aromatic/spicy notes.I think I'm smelling coriander and white tea.it's definitely original.I've never smelled anything similar but I can't say that I like it.it had a green/herbal quality and I highly dislike herbal scents.well I don't really dislike it here,but I don't like it either.I usually love perfumes with black or green tea notes but this is quite different(I'm a tea addict but I've never tried white tea so I don't know whether it smells true to life or not) After couple of minutes it's spicy,aromatic aspects calm down(but don't fully fade) and it becomes pleasant.on my skin,it's a light floral green(mostly magnolia and tea)with just a touch of herbal,spicy,aromatic twist.it can make a great fragrance for spring,summer day wear because it's light,clean and fresh and while being easy to wear and quite ageless,is different from typical watery fruit juices out there known as spring,summer fragrances 30 minutes after application I start to like it because aromatic spices are gone and notes that I was looking forward to smelling,musk and vetiver,showup.I could love this combination of clean musk,vetiver,magnolia(and other light flowers) and a hint of herbal tea and spices lingering beneath them but unfortunately by this time it's too weak to be enjoyable.I can only smell this Devine scent when I stick my nose to my skin and after an hour I even can barely smell this light skin scent by sniffing closely.it's almost gone! Most musky florals are very long lasting on my skin so I was shocked to see it doesn't stay more than 2 hours on me(and it's very light and faint in more than half of this two hour) sometimes my nose is problem not the perfume,for example I had such a problem with Cartier la panther legere,but after couple of wearings it was solved.now I can smell it on myself for a whole day and it's among my top favorites.I wish such a thing to happen with eau emotionnelle too.it's very different from what I usually buy and I don't have anything similar in my collection If you'd like a very light musky woodsy floral with a peppery,herbal,aromatic twist to make it refreshing and original give this one a try.it's very inoffensive as well as being intresting.delicate and feminine also has a sharp formal classy edge.it smells like a niche perfume I once tested but I can't remember it's name now i'm not a fan of It's first 20 mins and it's veryyy weak in longevity and sillage on me,still I'm happy to have it.I think it's going to grow on me and it's going to be good friend of mine.I really enjoy warm powdery scent that is sitting on my skin now(though veryyyy faint) P.s: unlike many reviwes I can't detect rose in it. Edit: This herbal white tea,coriander,pepper,rosemary thing seems to be highly addictive! When I first tried it I thought not bad ,but not my type.I'll probably wear this one,once in a blue moon but since owning it I'm craving this babe almost everyday! I take my morning shower then spray this right after shower,sit and drink my morning tea(I used to love very sugary jasmine tea whole my life but since wearing it,I crave a herbal lemon green tea which I've also recently bought).APEE makes me feel calm,clean,relaxed and refreshed ready to srart a lovely spring day My first review and complains about it's weakness seems like a joke now.ofcourse still when I smell it closely I feel it's light but there's no need to smell it closely as I usually do with while testing other perfumes.I can easily smell it around me as I do my daily works and I love it when I can catch wiffs of my perfume without trying hard to smell it and I never knew I love magnolia this much.fragrant magnolia and other flowers mingles with spicy herbal tea for a while and gradually come closer to skin and turn to a sweeter,creamy scent of flowers,musk and woods It's not heavy by any means.APEE is light and vibrant and never radiates furthur than an arm's lentgh but it's not weak and faint either.at least I can easily smell and enjoy it during first hour while I can't smell lots of heavier scents myself whitout smelling my skin I'm very happy with my blindbuy and have made a firm decision to buy as much as AP perfumes I can

I reviewed this not too long ago (below), but after having worn it several times now I wanted to expand my review to give more information. This comes from a decant with a generous sprayer, so it was like 4 regular sprays. That might have affected how I perceived it this time, but I think it's fairly consistent. This really makes an excellent bedtime scent, which is what I've mostly used it for. I'm actually really surprised it doesn't get more love on this site. It's a very clean, lightly sensual scent that's really not sweet at all. Any sweetness comes from the flowers, not from any gourmand or fruity influence. It's not very complex, but it is very beautifully classic. I feel that this is a perfect first "grown up" scent for a young woman. I can imagine a sophisticated young lady (or one who wants a boost of confidence) wearing this to her first day at her first professional job, and making it into her office scent. Or it would be great for a brainy university student. It's a lovely balance of musk and floral without any of the skank or cat piss of the original AP (which I love in moderation). Definitely it dries down just on the edge of soapy, but only because of the musky floral notes. I don't detect any sharp aldehydes. This review was written without the notes in front of me, so that might be an interesting detail. Further development reveals a bit of woods and deeper nuances. It certainly could, in the drydown, be a "skin-but-better" scent. A very very lovely and underrated fragrance. 4/5 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sept 2018 Finally got the samples sent to me 2 years ago by my Fragrantica fam! And a new phone so the internet actually connects, so time to catch up on reviews. This is definitely in the AP family. It's fairly heavy on the musk, and florals. But it's very feminine and wearable while being light. I can see this being an everyday scent for someone who wants a scent on the sexy side of innocent. I rated it as a like, though it's on the "love" side of like, if that makes sense. I am testing it in Haiti without fan or AC, in 85-90-degree temps, and it think it works quite well in this environment without being overbearing. Then again, I don't mind overbearing, so take that with a grain of salt. Overall, a very very lovely scent with modest performance from what I can tell at first test.
