Description
Celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the Signature perfume, Agent Provocateur launches a new limited edition called Lace Signature, available from June 2016. The concept of “leather and lace”, luxurious fabrics of the provocative lingerie, stands behind the creation of this edition.
The fragrance is designed as a floral-woody-musky one that tends to replicate the atmosphere ranging from naive romance to sensual provocativeness. The composition opens with notes of bergamot, kumquat, flowers and saffron. Orange blossom, wild orchid, bitter orange and evergreen are what the heart of the perfume is made of, followed by the luxurious and sexy base of amber wood, black cedar and musk.
The limited edition comes in a bulbous bottle of the same original design, decorated with a bright pink lace pattern and a red leather strap around its neck, the colors and motifs that represent the DNA of the brand. It is available in Eau de Parfum concentration.

weird but no top/sharp notes on the first 5-6 sprays… then one minute later.. very woody and ambery notes started to emerge (and lingered to the end, and got stronger, not weaker, lol), with traces of bitter sweet florals but only in the background … yes, almost identical to Alien, potent but way lighter and close to the skin… nicely done.

Well, I bought this myself from Escentual and it was worth every penny of the (under) £25.00 GBP I paid.
I haven’t smelled Fendi Fantasia, nor am I likely to now, as the house is defunct (someone is criminally responsible for that – Fendi produced some wonderful perfumes, all of which will soon be gone forever), so can’t comment on any similarities.
One of my favourite perfumes is Alien; I am puzzled by the comparison to Lace. Several people have agreed that it reminds them of it, so perhaps my nose is on the blink… I also have (and love) Alien Sunessence, to which AP Lace has also been compared and I cannot smell the similarity to that, either. I do agree that Lace is considerably lighter and – for want of a better word – more “polite” than Alien which, like many Mugler fragrances, is a sillage bomb; nonetheless, Lace’s sillage is beyond arms-length.
Lace (to my nose) is predominantly a floral perfume, although I can’t identify WHICH flowers; I can smell something which – to my nose, anyway – is somewhat reminiscent of roses. I don’t know what periwinkle smells like, despite it growing in my garden. It’s not in bloom at the moment so I can’t go and stick my nose in it to check. Likewise, I have never smelled a fragrant orchid; the ones I grow are all scent free, other than having a natural “green plant” fragrance. I do detect a slight similarity to CK Euphoria (or one of its flankers), which must be coming from the orchid note. Lace also has a fruity tone, but – again – I can’t identify which fruit I can smell.
There are gentle balsamic and woody tones to this, which underpin the florals very nicely and the musk is there too, but not at all animalic or intrusive.
This is yet another AP fragrance which I love. I am so impressed by this house – the perfumes are often really interesting and (to my nose anyway) don’t smell very much like anything else.
Lace is a limited edition fragrance and is already quite difficult to source. I highly recommend checking it out! It smells considerably more expensive than it it.

This is Fendi Fantasia! The exact same fragrance. Both are lovely so I’m not complaining. Only difference is AP lacks Fendi’s longevity.

I have one question……..what does “periwinkle” smell like?? Fragrantica doesn’t even describe it *blink*

Why I did not find it yet? I don’t like Alien, but I like AP Classic and Eau De Emotionale.

This one is too bitter for my taste, generally, but there’s a nice balsamic-spicy undertone to it.
Strongly white floral and spicy.
It gets better as hours go by.
Kind of okay, but it would be difficult for me to wear it daily.

I’m not sure what is aggressive or vulgar about this bottle. I think it is pretty. I’d love a bottle of this to put on my vanity, to go with her 4 other sisters I own. I’ve yet to meet an AP I didn’t like. VERY excited to try this one.

Where do I buy this? Ive looked everywhere, even their official site. Thanks

I love Alien so I might get this just to have a similar but probably not exactly alike fragrance. I love orange blossoms and never really grown tired of them. I hope the musk will not be too dirty.
serj – :
Agree, smells a lot like Alien; lovely summer fragrance nonetheless, for those who find Alien too heavy for daytime like me
Biotsgefist – :
It smells VERY close to Mugler Alien, but with an addition of berries. Nice.
