L’Agent Eau Provocateur

If you take away the idea of L'Agent and consider it as its own daytime scent this is great. It is more alluring than seductive, but it really does draw him in. My fellow also mentioned the shower thing, but in the way of an outdoor one with flowers strewn about. For night wear, I first put on L'Agent, and then top with this. During din din Eau Provocateur is stronger and then slowly as the night draws on, L'Agent starts to sweep out. This is one of the Agent Provocateur scent that I wear on its own. I heart it.

First: I ́m in love with the original "l'agent"...! This "eau provocateur" is for my nose a totally other perfume and not a Light-version of my favorite smell. BIG Jasmin... apple...melon..mmmh!? It is interesting, very "green", but it has not completely persuaded me yet... where is the *Provokation*? My husband likes it, he said, that I smell like fresh given a shower... with flowers ;-) This edt has been sprayed up before 25 min... I will "observe" it the next hours. Love from Louve

Lovely, but really hard to define. Oriental floral? Naaaaah. It is deep but fresh. Not fresh in the usual green/citrus/aquatic way, but in an almost medicinal way. Sexy freshness. So well blended that I can hardly distinguish different notes, so I'm not even going to attempt to describe it. Lovely, and please do try this one.

Really pretty. Certainly not groundbreaking, but a very good representation of magnolia, a notoriously difficult essence to capture without smelling cloying or artificial. I think that the musk softens it, smoothing any jarring edges. As thins progress,I pick up on the famed AP rose, which is nice and helps tie things together as part of a collection. What this ISN'T is a lighter version of L'Agent. I don't really detect any similarities. It's more like the complete opposite of L'Agent. It's sunnier, pretty, and despite the brand, not provocative in the least. L'Agent on the other hand, is sultry, sexy, seductive, and a little dangerous. Unfortunately, they both have a problem with longevity of any sort, and the Eau is the worse of the two. It's easy and necessary to overspray, though I believe it would perform better in the heat. Like so many offerings from AP, you get a real bang for the buck, as many tend to be a bit more challenging and sophisticated than, say, many offerings from other lingerie companies such as Victoria's Secret. Personally, I consider Blue Silk to be a small masterpiece that I need to stock up on before prices explode. It's already becoming more difficult to find, and the prices are going up very much the same way that OG L'Agence exploded on the grey market. All and all, a solid like for me, something easy to reach for without thinking on your way out the door. You could pay a lot more money for a much lesser perfume, so at least give it a try if you love magnolia and have the chance! PS - blissfully, I detect no traces of nauseating, artificial melon!!

I got a 5ml decant of this since it's such a classic. What I forgot, however, is that I'm pretty anosmic to musks, so for those of you who can smell the soft warm powdery skin-like musk note, I can't, until the drydown. What I did get was a somewhat unpleasant chrypre opening,followed by some indolic jasmine and gardenia, and I could swear there is an orange blossom working in there somewhere. It reminds me in a few minutes of Narciso Rodriguez in the white opaque bottle, just a little bit at this stage, sort of pleasantly poopy orange flower blossoms. Rose works its way up behind and becomes slightly sweet-tart with a powdery overlay. I like it in the dry down and think that at the time when it was released it was probably a lovely sexy sent. For me it now smells like many others, but those other ones I prefer a bit more. I do think this is probably nice to cuddle up to on a Friday or Saturday date night. In the beginning I think it skews more masculine but in the dry down more feminine. It is overall unisex with a fem twist. The opening is so chypre-like but dies quickly. Love the bottle, but my 5 ml is it. Silage and longevity low-to moderate depending on application; it comes in raging loud, softens within minutes.
