Diamond Dust Edition

Floral Woody Musks are a preferred category for me, however, not all of them dazzle like this Diamond Dust. I could not individually note the magnolia or indian saffron, but I believe they are there, adding to my delight in this fragrance. The saffron only appears as some kind of mysterious smoothness in the beginning. The carnation is a great clear white flower here, and the thick jasmine, and dark rose, just make the floral combo thrive. What really makes the whole mixture of scents a ture valueable gem, is the vetiver. The vetiver interacts with the floral mid notes, and at the same touches on the amber and musk base. It lasts, and lasts all day, and into the next day; itś just so decadent and velvety to me. Oh, and there is glitter in the liquid, white and silver; only visible in strong light, very faint, wich doesn't mess up your clothes or anything. At very first whiff, I so strangely thought of the old Enjoli! And of course my hoosband said "it smells like old lady stuff" "because of the rose" but if those are just first impressions. In the very last wee hours of the fragrance, it reminds me of Madness by Chopard, but only when the delicacy of the scent has worn away. Spending some time, alone with this fragrance, it worked some kind of sparkly magic on me....

this to my nose smells identical to the original. identical. not tweeked. and i totally disagree that the smoke has gone...it is exactly the same and the smokey bar/ashtray is still there. i tried it today and was busy and hot rushing around town doing jobs and the smokey ash came out quite strong on me! the difference? - it just sparkles a bit when you apply it. i love this scent...it is so weird and wonderful...smokey musky dirty rose. it has a vague resemblance to Cabaret, yes...but to me Cabaret smells almost same as NR for Her EDP (but much much better!) and neither of those have the same skank factor as Agent. Good-skank, not bad-skank. i recoiled when i first sprayed Agent btw, it was whoooa, what IS that? ....and now i really love it! i do agree, this one really lasts and sillage on me is pretty big. it smells better on cool days or evenings....otherwise i begin to smell like a hot rosey ashtray. EDIT: OK, i have now sniffed them side by side (agent and DD) and there is a slight variation of how the notes come through. DD for me has more saffron, which quashes the ashtray a little and perhaps a little more rosey, richer...smoother. if i was to choose, i like this one best (i think!).

Oh! Oh! Oh! What a beautiful package! I'm not a sucker for bottles or boxes, but this one is so nice: a silver treasure box with pink satin lining, perfectly showcasing the beautiful silver bottle. I have tried both the original Agent Provocateur and the Diamond Dust edition. I love both, but get the Diamond Dust edition if you can. They really did do some small tweak of the scent that improves upon the original AP. That "cigarette smoke" aroma is gone. If you haven't tried either, but you're a fan of the original Jean Couturier Coriandre formula, or a fan of Cabaret, you'll probably LOVE this one. Beautiful scent, a transparent rosy-chypre, but much longer-lasting than my vintage Coriandre EDT.

This is absolutely stunning. Just to clarify the picture posted is misleading as the bottle and its content is not pink. It is a transparent bottle in its usual egg shape AP style but with a silver coating on the back and the words AP in cursive in front so you get to see the golden liquid inside that shimmers with diamond dust. I think it looks pink in photo as a reflection of the color of the inner pink satin lining of the box. Smells like original AP but with the original sour note removed. Need to apply sparingly though it's got very strong sillage.

Just received my bottle of the diamond dust limited edition! What can I say!! Beautiful packaging , gorgeous bottle but the perfume smells much lighter then the original yet it states the same ingredients ?? It's much more softer as well!! Where's the smoke note gone :( Won't be re buying this anytime again! Enjoy!
