Fatale

For me this was one of those scents I fell immediately in love with and had to buy the next day, because I couldn't help myself (plus it's pretty cheap!). I have to agree with previous reviews; it does remind me of something else so I wouldn't call it unique, but I want to say it's more of a cross between several scents (if they were mixed together AND TONED DOWN quite a bit): La Vie Est Belle by Lancome, Black Opium by YSL, V&R's Flowerbomb, Jimmy Choo and maybe a tiny, tiny hint of Velvet Orchid by Tom Ford. To be honest, the only fragrance of them I've actually gone out and bought is the latter, as I'm not a huge fan of the first mentioned but to me FATALE is the best of all of them combined (I only wish it was a bit more potent). I think the reason I like FATALE so much is because the patchouli is there but silent, bringing forward all the other yummy notes without screaming: "HERE I AM! Look at me! Smell me!" The only downside is that I kinda wish it was a little bit more: "HERE I AM!" because on my skin the sillage could be better. Longevity is OK (4 hours?), but I would love for it to last even a little bit longer. But, oh well.. what can you do. For the pricetag I don't mind respraying a bit throughout the day. I think it's delicious and sensual and yummy! Just the way I like it. All in all: FATALE is a great and very likeable scent that I would recommend you to try out if you're not into LVEB or Flowerbomb, but you would like something "similar/in those lines". FATALE would be a great alternative. BTW, my friends LOVE it too! :)

awesome blind buy. I found this beauty for a super cheap price; 15$ to be exact! I love it!!! i have always liked LVEB but never enough to buy it, especially for the price tag it holds (it just wasn't unique enough to pay more than $40 for). I never expected this beauty to have that similar, beautiful, girly dry down as LVEB at this price point. This is absolutely worth so much more than the $15 I paid (I would have gladly paid up to $40, again just because its really pretty but it isn't very unique). I'm glad its so affordable though :) I wore this after my shower this morning and I can still smell the sweet, soft, feminine, and creamy base after 10 hours (I do layer this on top of an odorless lotion and find that even my weaker scents last longer after i do this trick). Ok, so the first initial spray is strong and it almost felt like it was stinging my nose in a not pleasant and very harsh way. HOWEVER! after just a few SECONDS of hitting my skin and warming up a bit, it changed to that very LVEB-esque sweet, soft beauty. This is one I can use without fear of offending anyone. It has medium to light projection. Sillage is also around the same. It is cooler outside right now, and this scent just makes me feel warm and sweet. If you find this, DO get it! you definitely won't lose. Especially at a lower price.

I really like this perfume, even if to me, it does not remind of La Vie Est Belle at all, and it might not even be truly sweet (think Scandal and Fancy), at the end of the day. It's peppery, fragrant, powdery, with a boozy, creamy sweetness to it. I would deconstruct it as follows: - the skeleton of Soir de Lune by Sisley: heavy, oily rose and freesia floral (or whatever other notes are in there); granny-like, but in a sophisticated, expensive way, not dusty at all; - a dose of some sort of 'alcoholic syrup' (Turkish delight or Turkish rose jam, with a distinct boozy note) which reminds me of old-school profiteroles (authentic French ones); -a very young, vibrant note (very slightly minty, like Alien). It's really beautiful and unexpectedly so, as I have Fatale Intense and to me, it smells like a muted, creamier version of Angel by Mugler. When I read that this one was similar to LVEB, I thought it was going to be like Fatale Intense - not at all. LVEB is sugary confectionery, fragrant, fashionable, Parisian, sexy etc., this is boozy old-school, old-world wealth, satin and heavy jewelry worn in the 21st century at a lavish ball. Happy that I purchased it!

I have a sample of this, my mothers reaction when I spritzed it on the skin... WHOW! Yes, you could hear the H! My first impression on inhaling from the card was BAILEYS the cream irish liquer scent that I love so much. Bailey's is my poison after all! That was because of the chocolate. The fragrance quickly changes notes the way a Beethoven Symphony can. One second all the instruments are playing at their loudest inducing tinnitus to anyone hearing it, then once your attention is caught, the ochestral movements glide smoothly into a sublime melody invoking an image of floral sweets, like Turkish Delights. Eating them in a garden surrounded by rose bushes with a gentle breeze urging the perfume to wrap a hand on your wrist. The final movement is that warm musky hold that slips a finger further up your arm whilst leaning over and whispers: "You know you want more!" If this is what La Vie Est Belle is like I must have that... but first, I think the Fatale has a little knowing smile on her big, beautiful lips...

I’ve been wearing this one for a while and as far as descriptions go, everyone below me has pretty much summed it up. This smells like a lighter, fruitier, LVEB with a toned down patchouli. If you like LVEB, but think it’s too heavy...this one would be a great fragrance for you to try. The initial spray is black current that transitions to mango shortly after. During the middle phase you smell the chocolate and orris root, and finally it dries to a chocolate orchid musk. This is a nice perfume, but I find it kind of boring. It doesn’t rock my world like L’Agent does or at least pique my interest like Maitresse or Eau Emotionelle. To be completely honest, in a world full of so many different fragrance options...I’m not quite sure I want to continue to be bothered with this one. I have 1 full bottle unused and a second bottle that’s about 98% full. They both still have their boxes and retail sleeves. PM me if anyone in the US would be interested in doing a swap.

Agent Provocateur fragrances are rare finds in my part of world, and really I want to keep them all to myself! I received so many compliments on Fatale from men at work that I had to stop wearing it! It's truly that sexy, and it doesn't remind people of anything else ( at least not where I live anyway) I try to compare perfumes to other ones, because I appreciate that myself in reviews, so to me, this reminds me of Viva La Juicy mixed with Private Show by Britney Spears, except it's a lot stronger , way more complex, and almost too sexy to wear. If you enjoy strange scents, chocolate notes , vanilla musk, and gardenia you will love it..It doesn't remind me of La Vie Belle at all, and the patchouli isn't very strong or overpowering.

Initial Spray: Don't be put off by the initial spray (very similar to Roberto Cavalli), strong florals and spices. The middle: It is sweet fruits, cream, powder, and a touch of gourmand (if you are considering because of the chocolate note you may be disappointed, its barely-there - see Fatale Intense). Dry Down: An hour later it is a skin scent and hasn't changed from the middle, but I keep pressing my nose to it, I love it. Note: I also bought 'Fatale Intense' and it is similar to this one on the dry down, but longer-lasting, projects more, and more chocolate. Might be worth checking out if you want something more powerful.

I just received this one & Fatale Pink and I am quite happy with both. Lovely florals, simple, not to sweet even for me. Just a feminine floral for every day use, not a big powerhouse. I will enjoy both of these, as they are not the same. The chocolate note, which I love, in Fatale is what makes it a deeper scent than you get with Fatale Pink. I love the gardenia, musk and patchouli, and all in all, this is great easy reach that I know I will wear frequently because it's non-offensive, pretty and not my usual heavy oriental. A nice change of pace for me. Though I will say the longevity is only moderate. Spray with abandon!

To me, the most prominent note is mango. I can smell it from the beginning up to the first or second hour of wear. Once it becomes a skin scent, the mango scent is replaced by chocolate. It's sweet but not much. It may be headache-inducing for some because of the mango scent in the opening. My mother told me that I smelled like a rich person when I wore this. I'm not sure of the longevity as of this writing since it varies on me but I'm sure that it can't classify as "eternal" on my skin. Overall, I love the smell of Fatale. I think I can wear this to work and hang outs. I just wish it lasts longer.

Love! I bought because of comparisons to La vie Est Belle, and they are close, but switch out the pear for mango in Fatale. It’s better! This has a dry iris mid that is addicting, and the chocolate dry down lingers on the skin. It lasts on clothes, too. I can see why this is popular. It’s sweet black currant to start, with a sharp and dry powder. Creamy gardenia-mango comes in with a hint of warm chocolate patchouli. Just beautiful. The bottle is a pretty design as well. This is one of my all time favorites, and sits alongside Soleil Cristal and LVEB Intensement in my collection.

Got this during winter time, finally it's summer and I really changed my mind about it. Really beautiful fruitchouli scent with the warmth of mango, not boring like LVEB (personal opinion of course), and somewhat darker than Flowerbomb. Yes, it can be worn all year around, but I find it perfect for evenings from spring to autumn. Chocolate is just a nuance but it's there. This perfume has turned into a love of mine, I have to recommend it, and although it becomes rather intimate within the hours, I can still smell it after a whole day on my skin.

I can't help it, I just LOVE fragrances like this one! Similar to many other great sweet bombs like La vie est belle and it's flankers, also Pierre Balmain's Extactic and Flowerbomb. This is just deliciously sweet orchid, cacao and patchouli scent with some lovely gardenia and black currants. This has so many qualities I love, I'm considering buying it. The best thing is, this one is quite affordable compared to my other sweet favorites! Need to have it in my collection!

Smells uplifting and feminine with almost a cute mature quality to it. For optimistic sweetness lovers that don't want to smell like a sugar-bomb. It's just so pretty! I personally couldn't detect it anymore after 4 hours, but others could still smell it after 8 hours which is very impressive. But.. I guess not smelling it after a while is a good thing since it's so yummy it makes me want to eat myself. A wrist-sniffer for sure.

I love this! It does smell very similar to lancome la vie est belle, but less sweet. I actually prefer this one. You do get chocolate and you do get a little floral and citrus, it's a good, modern scent, very girly, but also ladylike, playful I guess. Not agent provocateurs usual, but a hit for me. This does have good projection and lasts almost all day on my skin. I've bought a few bottles incase it suddenly dissapears

a musky, patchouli, fruity floral with big black currant, vanilla orchid that makes it an ambery vanilla, musk, patchouli and labdanum; no other florals, not tropical and no chocolate; it is gorgeous and very intense and reminds me of some celeb scents on the market; worth every penny for $20; not like other AP scents, no rose, similar to Fatale Intense but more vanilla

I just revisited a sample of Flowerbomb (which I used to have & love) and, lo and behold, Agent Provocateur Fatale smells so similar that I doubt I'd ever buy another bottle of Flowerbomb since it is about 3-4 $$$ higher than APF. And I LOVE the chocolate note in APF! Both are patchouli bombs with vanilla orchid and musk. Try APF and see what you think.

On me, opens smelling very much like LVEB, but quickly changes. The chocolate has almost a licorice quality with florals presenting in the background. My boyfriend's favorite is LVEB, and I purchased this hoping to find a less expensive substitute. I will update on how well this goes. As for me, I like the fragrance and am still getting to know it.

The scent of temptation. Delicious sweet peach, mango, vanilla and hint of chocolate - a complete presentation of sweet desserts in a bottle, with a promise of perpetual addiction. The sex appeal is not overbearing, instead Fatale present the right amount of mysterious allure, gradual intoxication and delicate seduction you won't able to resist.

I was taken aback by this one. I've never been a fan of Agent Provocateur, but this one is beautiful, feminine and long-lasting. I loved the chocolate in the base, although it's a fruity floral, it's definitely unique! To my knowledge it'll be launched on the 30th June. Saucy advert too! Watch out for it on billboards.

There’s a lot going on, I can detect most of the notes listed, mainly the chocolate, patchouli and pink pepper. It has great projection, some times too much. Longevity is decent. It’s so yummy and fruity and chocolatey with hints of florals. It’s quite unique to me but vaguely reminds me of LVEB

I absolutely adore this scent! To me it smells EXTREMELY similar to "Flowerbomb", however, it is less intense. I will say this one is slightly fruitier; which further adds to the gourmand, but if you are looking for a similar scent to Flowerbomb that is less 'in your face' this is perfect!

This is so good. At first it’s pretty sharp, unisex and kind of peppery but that quickly dries down to an amazing chocolate patchouli scent. It lasts a good amount of time and can constantly smell it on myself. I love the chocolate in this a lot and the bottle is cute too.

My all time favorite. This is the only perfume I have bought a second bottle. It is La Vie Est Belle but cheaper and for me even better. I have got many compliments on this. Warm, but very sexy, sweet but also floral, and the bottle is a jewel itself.

Really very close to "La Vie Est Belle", softer and more delicate. As if it were a post-holiday lull arranged by Lanĉome perfume. Rather very warm than sweet. Very, very high quality, akin to niche fragrances 💘

Fatale reminds me of Laura Biagiotti Venezia. The initial spray is very similar. The dry down begins to resemble Flowerbomb. If you like Venezia or Flowerbomb, you will probably really like Fatale as well.

This is lovely! Sweet, but not too much. Longevity is quite good. It's mostly a skin scent, but I still get whiffs even after 6h, mainly from my décolletage 🙃 and I got it at a great price!

A very good budget version of LVEB. In fact, it's a bit warmer than LVEB..and more inviting. Longevity not as good, but I'll be buying this rather than LVEB.

There is something very sexy about this fragrance - I think I'm buying into the Provocateur brand; so many compliments. Worth trying.

Clean, Fresh, and Spicy. I get wafts of this all day while it's light it lingers. A good mood fragrance I love.

Juste une merveille ce parfum ♥♥♥

Amazing! I just picked this up today, and it is every bit as good as I thought it was going to be! It smells so yummy, I can really pick up the chocolate and vanilla orchid, with just a hint of patchouli and mango in the background. I can't smell the pepper which is a good thing, as i'm not too keen on peppery perfumes, but it probably keeps the perfume from being too overpoweringly sweet. I can't compare to La Vie Est Belle as I have never smelled it, but it does remind me ever so slightly of Giorgio Armani Si, one of my favourite perfumes. This is such a soft floaty scent, good for daytime use, and velvety-rich enough for evening too. The sillage seems good so far, but can't comment on longevity yet as I only sprayed it an hour ago. All in all, a beautiful scent, one that I look forward to wearing much more. Edit; after wearing it all day, I can STILL smell it faintly twelve hours later!! Love it!

Agent Provocateur Fatale is a slightly powdery fruity floral on me. The blackcurrant is prominent, but not dominating. And it feels very smooth among the creamy orchid and gardenia. The chocolate is relatively subtle on me, but it complements the slightly powdery texture very well, and adds a bit of gourmand touch. The other seemingly deep base notes are not noticeable to me, so Fatale feels sensual but with a light heart. The sillage is soft on me, and the longevity is around 8 hours. I can see the reference with Lancôme La Vie est Belle, although it feels decidely much more gourmand than Fatale. I do find this fragrance very enjoyable, but it doesn't feel like 'Femme Fatale' to me, and less edgy than previous AP offerings as well. A relatively affordable fruity floral fragrance, and far from being childish.

Yes it is similar to La vie est Belle edp... but the AG fatale is so much more toned down and a little less sweet..This one is perfect if you love LVEB but find it to strong or too much. Fatale also has got a much more subtle chocolate patchouli from the first spray, it 'almost' borders to powdery which makes it so much gentler than LVEB. Which, in turn, also makes me wonder weather the two should swap names...there is certainly nothing fatale going on here to me. But I like it. Nothing outstanding, but very nice and likeable. I still can smell a hint of this one on the sleeve of my coat tree days after testing it on my wrist, and what is left seems to be a tad more peachy or fruity version of LVEB. Its futile to compare it to the pink fatale by the way, they are completely different.

I've managed to get hold of a sample of Fatale so can now write a review based on my experience of actually wearing it, rather than just smelling it from a paper strip. This is a beautiful fragrance and to my nose is like a cross between La Vie Est Belle and Angel Eau Sucree. So similar in fact, that if you already own one or both of those, I really don't think you'd need Fatale as well. Lasting power is very good and you're left with a subtle chocolatey dry-down. I'm just a little disappointed that the new perfume launches I've liked the most recently seem to be almost identical to other popular fragrances on the market (which I already own). Nice as this is, I just don't feel the desire to own it.

"I disagree with the majority of reviews. To me, this is SEX IN A BOTTLE! Enough said!!" ----Must be some sweet candy type sex ;) I'll admit that this is a very easy to like perfume. Easy to like, easy to wear.... It's definitely sweet yet sensual. Not at all cloying. Has a nice balance of girlish charm mingled with the maturity of musk and gardenia to ground all the yummy sweetness. The black current is nice and tangy in the opening which softly settles into a nicely crafted chocolety orchid with musky hints. the patch is there but only a whisper, not nearly as much as in flowerbomb. I can sense the resemblance to lancome belle as well but I find this one less loud, and with rounded edges.

This perfume is available now in the UK - I found it in Selfridges at the Agent Provocateur counter, rather than in the perfumery department. I was very pleasantly surprised by Fatale, having never found an Agent Provocateur perfume that I really liked before. This one is beautiful, sophistcated, sweet and sexy. It's not unique or ground-breaking by any means (it reminds me of another perfume but I can't quite put my finger on which one, possibly La Vie Est Belle) but having smelled it from the bottle and on a paper strip, I like it enough to want to try it on my skin. I will add to my review next time I test it.

This was a blind buy and I got this in a deep orangish shade of liquid in a very pretty bottle. I've had it for a couple of years and don't remember my exact initial reaction but I don't recall being put off by it too. Right now, the initial spray (only the initial one) is sooooo screetchy and strictly pepper/spicy to me, almost screaming Old Spice x-o. But THANKFULLY it dries down fast and beautifully into a luscious gourmand. A cozy, warm lickable one. I don't detect much fruit on me. It wears off as a nice powdery scent. Could be unisex or female leaning depending on the person wearing it. I like it!

This perfume is wonderful in the first ten minutes. The sweet, delicious chocolate and the fresh florals go very well together! After twenty minutes the perfume starts to dissapear rapidly. All the warm sweetness is just gone! It won't last long on my skin but I do like the scent. I also need to mention this perfume doesn't smell like the Intense version (in the red bottle) at all. It's definitely chocolaty instead of licorice and dewberry based. It does remind me of Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle but I wouln't say they're the same at all. I noticed some big differences.

I absolutely 100% agree with the reviewer below who describes it as Gres Lumiere Noire wrapped in candy floss. That is spot on! I was a bit sceptic, but seemed to gravitate towards it quite often after I bought it. Why? It`s so easy to wear and smells good! To me it`s praline sweetness with a shade of patchouli in the background. It`s not annoyingly sweet. Some people seem to get a heavy cacao vibe, but I don`t. It`s actually more of a "fresh" sweetness than I normally would expect from a praline/vanilla combo. I will happily finish my bottle, but won`t rebuy.

This was a blind buy. I read all the reviews on here and every other site. What I got was a lot different. On initial spray, it's an off-putting amber-musk. However, it went away quite quickly leaving a strong pink pepper with a slight sweet and almost smokey chocolate. It's very unique but I wouldn't say too sexy for an everyday scent. I get notes of gardenia, pink pepper, soap, patchouli, and a slight hint of chocolate. Not very sweet like a gourmand, its much more light and flirty. Overall, I like it but it doesn't last too long on my skin.

Mmmm...chocolate and orchids. I smell nummy. Hugged a work colleague at an event today and she remarked "you smell so good!" Had another female colleague exclaim "You smell divine!" while standing in my office door. Definitely a close ringer for La Vie Est Belle. In fact, think I much prefer Fatale, as LVEB can be a little cloying for me. Definitely soft and in no way cloying or overpowering. Acquired for a steal from TJ Maxx, blind-bought actually, before I read here it was similar to LVEB. A definite "like"!

I get the comparison to LVEB - but to me this is a more 'Summer Friendly' fragrance. It's not as sweet on me as many describe, but then I have to add, I really love my sickly sweet fragrances. This is the 'watered down' version of LVEB I was looking for during the Summer months. LVEB and even Black Opium are just way too much for me during a heat wave. This is sweet, but also has a strong almost 'bitter' note to it, which makes it much easier to wear in the heat :) I'll add that I got this at a steal!

I bought this as a blind buy based on the notes. A creamy sweet floral scent that smells sexy and sophisticated in which the chocolate note plays a supporting role to the floral and musky notes to make it more grownup rather than a typical sweet floral fruity perfume that is so common. Definitely not a young girl’s scent although it could be worn for any age. Not dissimilar to Fancy by Jessica Simpson but more sophisticated.

LVEB, but better! I am indeed one of those that find LVEB too strong, too cloying. It's so dense that my nostrils just burn and I can't pick up any nuances. That's not the case with Fatale however. This perfume can be worn anytime, anywhere. It's very appropriate but not boring. If anything, I wish it lasted longer... But for the price, I cannot complain! If you also struggle with La vie est belle by Lancome, get Fatale! :)

I bought this based on my love for the intense version. This is quite nice, not pushing boundaries like it's flanker but so very easy to wear anywhere. Sweet with fruit and a nice chocolate note. I love the patchouli in this one. That note can be tricky. It doesn't really remind me of LVEB which I own also. It's just very nice on it's own merits and so reasonably priced. I think this is one anyone would like.

I love the cute bottle more than anything else. I bought her because I love AP and wanted something sweet but I barely notice any particular note coming from this... its pretty for about 30 minutes and then it disappears to a generic perfume on my skin. Feminine and far from extraordinary, just simple and good for everyday when I am just staying home or going to the shop. Still like it, but too weak on me.

CLOYING CACAO Every shop I've seen this perfume the juice is dark orange, however my bottle is colourless. I bought the 30ml and wore it almost every day for a month. This is lovely but I wont be re-purchasing... I'm not blown away with it and I have plenty of other scents in my collection which I connect with more. I agree that this is a crossover of Flowerbomb and La Vie Est Belle.

The safest blind buy ever, but what is up with the performance? Very intimate, after an hour I can smell it on my clothes only. And it smells almost exactly like CK Downtown but weaker. The joke is that I just gave the CK to someone because I was bored with it and decided to replace it with Fatale and there we go now I'm stuck in the same place. Karma is a b***h.

I agree that this smells like a crossover of La Vie Est Belle and Flowerbomb. I think it's because of the sweet and patchoulie notes that it bears a resemblance to them. Unfortunately, the lasting power of this isn't very good on me. I'd say it lasted around two hours before it faded away completely which is every disappointing as it's such a nice scent.

On my skin it starts with a candy-like sourness (Black currant?). It just takes a few minutes for it to become powdery and sweet, it gets more spicy after maybe 30 minutes and after that it starts to fade away and become a skinscent. I can clearly smell patchouli but luckily it isn't taking over completely, it would have been a love with less of it.
