Strip

amber bomb..seductive.. anything that has that much amber must be that seductive.. it reminds me of cult african or indian perfumes.. very woodsy .. spicy.. animalic.. oriental..even Arabic.. as if it almost had oud.. but not.. maybe a hidden note.. that is undisclosed..to my nose, it smells very vulgar.. not refined ..or sophisticated.. playing on the basic animal instincts of the homo sapience species..its just as the name suggests.. for stripping ...in a bad way ..not romantic.. or lovely.. but hard.. oh my.. oh my ..every time i take a sniff.. i am taken back to africa in particular to omdurman.. and the old bridal perfumes.. they use there ..that were made out of raw materials.. of balsams.. musks.. and ambers.. on a bed of sandalwood.. and civet.. and resins..that perfume is called khoumra.. known for centuries as an afrodisiac.. and just the smell of it is suppose to turn on the male species.. so its done for month before the wedding night.. and buried under the ground to age.. and the result is allot of healthy young kids ! fertility rates and family sizes in that are are among the highest around the world.. 10 kids per family ! no wonder why..! as it cools down it repels from my skin it becomes more pronounced amber cheap amber..and something called mahlabia.. which is used to darken the henna drawings as an extra kick..this malabia is so pungent and a drop goes a very long way.. its an earthy ..dirty..almost muddy.. smell it will mask anything else ..to me i think i will layer it to mellow it.. or refine it.. for its just too much.. in a simple way.. it doesnt contain the art of complexity or refined blending of notes.. it relies on the pure basic note of amber.. as a solo player.. its amber plus sex..with no passion or desire or love.. oh there is patchouli in there too.. its a great perfume for the name and purpose but takes professionals to ware not for the faint hearted or young lovers its for more than that ..very basic .. edp 50 ml perfume rating 3.8 out of 5 bottle ratting 3.5 out of 5

Slap a pricetag on me and call me a hooker, but this scent is my alter-ego - and my regular ego is the vintage Miss Dior! I feel like such a Two-Face. I don't think there's anything special about this dirty musk - it is neither classic, nor revolutionary, and it's not even the dirtiest musk there is, as the name might suggest. It's not even the most sensual or exotic of the Agent Provocateurs... The classic AP = the dirtiest musk of an "experienced" lady (most musky and sensual), AP eau emotienelle = sweet musk of the "innocent" girl (most exotic), AP Maitresse = you know it, the domantrix (most sass)... BUT! Strip has the exact combination of notes that fits my taste perfectly, and these notes are also balanced just right. I'm sure my chemistry is helping too - my skin retains the top notes till the end, and I love both ylang-yang and iris, so I'm not complaining! Maybe that's why I love it so: it's not all that daring, but just a lovely subdued ambery musk with just the right floral notes and just a hint of vetiver for a touch of masculinity. It's not "special occasion" at all (the *other* special occasion, of the AP kind). If my current signature wasn't Miss Dior - because let's face it, once you commit to her, you can't cheat on her - I would be a Strip girl. So if you get a bottle of it and don't love it, please pass it in my direction!

This fragrance is very woody. The dry-down reminds me of sawmill. I love it? I'm totally crazy about it... Now I got it and remember how I didn't like it at all when sprayed on paper. On paper it's strong geranium and woods. Lasting power is great. It's very sexy ;D I think it's pretty similar to L'Arte De Gucci (geranium)only Strip is more woody and lighter than L'Arte, but the feeling is right, I sniffed Strip and compared it with my still intense smelling L'Arte edp mini and it's like Strip is little sister of L'Arte. The wood and geranium smells so nice and hot I like it :D (I hated geranium smell, when had these flowers at home) Maybe because its combined with wood. Settles down so beautifully- woody and sweet, vetiver in this is as good as in AP signature :D The most cool thing is that it lasts all day long and if you apply it on neck and later look on the cellar you can feel it even at the end of day. My bottle is red with black splashes and has latex ribbon, the motif is just plastic thing that is 'warmed up' to fit the bottle (just like Eastern egg ;D), a bit cheap impression. They MUST make it their regular perfume not limited edition :D

I had a similar experience like alicektn... I bought it blind... can't explain why, I guess it was a spontanious act. I got a bit nervous when I tried the classic Agent Provocateur a few days before I got Strip in the mail... the classic one is not exactly my kind of thing. So when I sprayed Strip I was ready to be disappointed ...and I was. that smell! It reminded me of an old wooden armoir in my childhood. It was where my father stored all his pipes, the tobacco and the cleaning/care substances. Not a bad smell at all but it just did not feel right as a perfume on me! Luckily an hour later the notes changed and it got this soft feminine touch to it. Mixed with the remaining spicy and smokey notes it makes it to one of the most intriguing fragrances in my repertoire. I must say though, I was a bit disappointed by the bottle. I expected the fish-net to be real fish net. Sadly it is only some kind of foil, plastic print on the bottle which leaves a bit of a cheap impression...

i must be a lucky bird to have been blessed with chemistry that works with every single perfume I have encountered; it's just a matter of preference for a type or type(s) over others. yay me!! Just showered after a grueling, mentally taxing day of being the superstar financial crimes analyst/investigator that I am, and I reached into my treasure chest and felt around, to feel one of those egg-shaped grenade type bottles I own. To my surprise it was AP STRIP - one I haven't worn in literally 5 years at least. So, with still moist skin I liberally spritzed this sexy potion all over; to include the nape of my neck/under-hairline...I am surrounded by a warm, sexy, amber and musk that complements me to a tee...woods and sweet sensual spices softly invade my nose and the verdict is, I am happy with this choice. Bravo AP....Not a scent of theirs I dislike and they all love my chemistry equally! now to relax in bed stripped, in STRIP... sweet olfactory dreams!

WOW. Another fab frag from 'the house.' You can't buy this in the UK but I was lucky enough to see a bottle on e bay and brand new too, so I snapped it up! I honestly don't think people are aware how difficult it is to get or even that it exists. It smelled very like the original AP on first spray so absolutely beautiful, then it died down to a wonderful comforting fragrance. A previous reviewer said it smelled like Cabbage Patch dolls. Personally it reminds me of opening a new doll when I was a child and that first wonderful sniff of synthetic hair and the plastic face - fabulous! Sniffing it now an hour later I would describe is as powdery too. It's a real pity this is discontinued as it's absolutely wonderful if you are a fan of AP like me. L'Agent is still my signature scent (see my review) but this is equally delicious in it's own way. I am a lucky, lucky, girl to have found it here in the UK!!

Oh my! I received a sample of this a while ago from a wonderful Fragrantica trading buddy. I just thought to actually sample it today. Oh..mmmmmmmm! I think I love this! I'm getting all the yummy,smoky,ambery, woodiness but there's something else in there. Remember the baby powdery smell that the Cabbage Patch dolls had?I stood in line for over an hour for one when they came out...I was maybe six years old. Needless to say...that smell is ingrained in my psyche and I swear I can detect a hint of it swirling within this this dark, magical elixir. I wonder if the iris, musk and perhaps the geranium have something to do with that added powdery,plastic-ey goodness. It's very comforting and reminds me a little of Bulletproof by Tokyo Milk. I could totally see myself in a cloud of this......if you have it and hate it and are interested in trading, I'm your gal!

Wow! I received this as a birthday gift and I love it! It smells exactly like the drydown in my favorite perfume, Prada Amber. This will definitely be in my rotation for casual and office wear as Prada is too strong sometimes and offensive to others initially, although I love all its phases. Strip is very warm and woodsy, with a little kick of mysteriousness, not old ladyish at all. Reminds me of magical warm golden sparkles swirling in a rich dark amber accord. Very calming, yet sensuous and a little provocative. I think this would be great for summer, or any season actually. In fact, this could be considered a lighter version of Prada. For those that think it is not strong enough, like Trevil, try Prada! My husband likes the powdery woodsy smell of Strip, but I think he prefers the stronger allure of Prada. Both are fantastic !!!!

Definitely deep seductive woody scent! Like a hard trial for innocent. Sharp, intense, classy, borjouis..whatever you call it. After opened the box, I sprayed and got shower 2 hours later..and it still STAY on MY SKIN 5 hours now! Worthy the price this sexy amber. This is smell of rich also, on my area, NO ONE had this ! Oh I love Fragrantica, I know The Strip from here! ;) When I saw the bottle, I thought it was a kind of sweet sexy..it's RED. But it's amber, spicey..the kind of scent that I would not choose 2 years ago. No regret to blind buy, such a special perfume that I never smell before. The best thing for me is.. 1 SPRAY ENOUGH ! J u s t. Y o u r. S k I n. T h r o u g h 1 more thing, if you want to get attention without yelling or doing something embararassing, wear Strip on an official event.. You'll get all eyes ON YOU

Wonderful! I clearly have a problem - so many scents I love get discontinued. Though of all the variations by AP, I don't know why this one is the one they cut. Thick, creamy ylang ylang, dry geranium and cuddly pillows of amber. Buttery and smooth, it's fairly sweet (floral sweet)and definitely not so much sexy as sensual. Reminds me a lot of Prada Amber though, so if you love this and want to try to find a substitute try that. Prada Amber is more complex and more resinous but Strip is highly enjoyable and a little less taxing - the ylang ylang is so welcoming and cosy. Really nice projection, strong, but not intrusive or loud. Must try for amber or ylang ylang lovers. Like Prada or no, I would definitely grab a bottle if it was still on shelves.

This scent mixes strangely with my chemistry. It opens ambery, then starts to smell faintly of black olives. I guess I like black olives...I can't pick out the floral notes very clearly. In a couple of hours, the olive note subsides and the scent turns more creamy. To me, it's just woody and sweet (and olivey.)It's different. I probably wouldn't buy a bottle, except that my husband seems to love it and he is pickier about perfumes than I am. He says he smells olives all day and smells none here! Thank you to the generous member who sent me the sample! update: I must amend my opinion on this one. I have a full bottle now and I am becoming quite addicted to this. The dry down really is awesome, I love this perfume now!

This is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. When I first put it on, the ylang ylang was screaming at me loud enough to make gag. Horrendous. Then I went out for dinner and kept catching the scent if something musky and sweet, took me a while before I realised it was me. The dry down on this is delicious, smells just like musk lifesavers. I live it but I'm not sure I can repeatedly get through the harrowing opening to justify a bottle. I do live the original AP though so I might just stick with that. Worth a try, I have a feeling body chemistry is important with this one.

I remember the first time I smelt Strip. It was strong and smelt like cherry punching you in the face. I decided to give it some time, and I'm so glad I did, because now I love it. It settles down to a musky smell, and is really nice. The staying power is excellent, it last such a long time. I don't like the other Agent fragrances, so I'm just waiting until another Strip comes along.

I Love Strip. It is similar to JPG Classique, but fruitier. I wish AP would resurrect this one. Does anyone know why Strip was discontinued ? I am consoling my yearning with L'Agent for now as Maitress really did not suit me. Also, is it me, or is the Limited Edition of Strip rather like L'Agent ? I seem to be catching hints of the Ltd Ed of Strip in L'Agent !

Powdery orris, dark and dry amber, a bit mossy. Smells strange in the beginning but getting woodier and ambery after 15 mins or so. There will be a phase when Strip AP rings you a bell to the original AP, even though they both are different animal. Not an outstanding fragrance but it's quite different, definitely not a mass pleaser type.

I bought this blind and am delighted. It's a lovely soft, warm, powdery amber. I'd call it feminine and sensual rather than sexy. Good as a comfort scent too and very nice on a rainy autumn day. As Allinug says, it is reminiscent of JPG Classique, but to me also of L'Instant Magique in its full, rich powderiness. Very good lasting power.

Hot! Hot! Hot! (in the words of The Cure) - I keep a stash of this under my bed cos I love it so much - warm, dark, sexy, smoky, it's gorgeous. Hard to call it subtle though it is warm but there is a kind of subtlety to Strip if applied lightly, maybe that is the amber? Whatever it is, AP Strip is wicked in the best way...

Strip features Aldehydes, Amber, Iris, Jasmine, Musk, Osmanthus, Patchouli, Rose, Violet, White Lotus, White Suede, Ylang-Ylang, Geranium icredible sexy scent, this will hit the heart and soul of every man crossing your way! uhhhhhhm this is dangerous !

I wish Agent Provocateur hadn't made this a limited edition; it's their best perfume and my absolute favourite! I'm going to have buy as many bottles of this as I can get my hands on.

Strip is unforgettable :a bit like Agent Provocateur, a bit like Maitresse...but very spicy, sexy, warm and punchy.
