Description
The house of provocative and sexy lingerie Agent Provocateur launches three new day time perfumes, based on the concepts of its most celebrated and iconic fragrant editions: Agent Provocateur (2000) Maitresse (2006) and L’Agent (2011). New fragrances, Eau Provocateur, Maitresse Eau Provocateur and L’Agent Eau Provocateur, are lighter, fresher and more carefree versions of the originals, adapted for daylight seduction.
Agent Provocateur L’Agent Eau Provocateur begins with citrusy accords of bergamot, mandarin orange and fresh green leaves, complemented with fruity aromas of peach, apple and melon. The heart of the composition includes opulent floral notes of ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose, tuberose, magnolia and freesia, while the base is oriental and woody due to amber, musk, sandalwood and patchouli.
The fragrances are available from April 2012 in 50 ml Eau de Toilette concentration.

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.

Unlike the EDP (which I *love* and rate as one of those rare cheapies that smells at least five times better than its price), this one really doesn’t do much for me. Vaguely greenish-fruity-rosey, getting more and more generic as time goes on. Nothing offensive but not really all that good either. Doesn’t fill any particular empty space. Just a big shrug really. Not a dislike, but not a strong like either. Pffft!

Musky floral, smells like hundreds of others. Turns soapy after half an hour. OK for a daytime wear. Nothing interesting overall.

Nice, rose scent but longevity is poor

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.

Be careful when ordering! I also ordered this by accident instead of the non-eau potion with the incense. Good ending though since Ebay let me keep this at no charge. I always see this bottle as a bonus thank you for being such a perfume shopping fool .. mean regular. On to the fume ..
This is a go-to musk for me. I have so many fragrances they cannot all be the star and first layer. However, that doesn’t diminish this as a preffered musk scent with some fruity notes that isn’t sweet but fresh green. I’m glad because melon can smell nice and all but some part of me doesn’t care for it so it must be well blended. Next I get the floral and love floral musk perfumes. It really is that simple. The florals don’t lie down here but stand right up – but without being screechy. This works to “clean up” the skin after I’ve been wearing a few and need to make sure everything doesn’t go smell bad city. It’s a clean to dirty scent and I love those. Certainly can be used as the only scent of the day. I just don’t have that kind of patience. Today I woke and sprayed Eau Provocateur to get me off to a fresh start but the musk allowed it to be suitable for winter which is coming in a couple days.

I bought this thinking I was getting the L’agent EDP and it’s somewhat disappointing. All I smell is roses. No jasmine no melon (thank god) no patch just roses. Might save this for a swap or something cause it’s definitely not my thing.

I am listening to Cadillac Hitmen, plotting a clove cigarette and writing this.. and this fragrance just goes so well.
I picked it up on sale in David Jones for $20.00 and I really like it. It’s very, very sexy, smoky and leather-bound book-esque. It’s also got a slight rose powderiness to it that sweetens the whole combination up a lot, and the patchouli is very powdery too, similar to Maitresse. I definitely will be wearing this on my next night of seduction…. 🙂
В.САНЁК – :
Now that’s the one I like! That makes sense – there’s magnolia, freesia and green notes. Good things. 🙂
If’s fresh and soapy, but it’s kind of clean soapyness I like in perfumes.
I find it classy and enjoyable, I think it could be a great seductive scent.
I hope the longevity and sillage are not that bad as the comments say.

I don’t like this one bit. I adore the original but this just smells ‘off’ to me. I have found the ‘eau’ side of the range very disappointing generally.
I’ll be sticking with the original frags.
I am guessing the lighter versions will appeal to people who find the original APs too bold and heady.
Dingo – :
The green notes are very strong at the beginning, but don’t last long. The middle is lovely, on me the magnolia and jasmine stand out most. I put this on before bed, and when I woke up it had dried down to somewhat of a masculine scent but still pleasing. I do not detect any fruity notes, it’s definitely floral almost all the way through. Overall a lovely fragrance! I wish the AP L’eau smelled this good on me.

My favourite summer fragrance. it’s soft and femininen . But longevity not well
dragon iluxa – :
I really like this perfume. I have NOT tried the original version of L’Agent so I cannot compare the two. I find it beautiful, uplifting and very very sexy for a “day-time scent”. I am surprised that no one has commented on how similar this smells to Estee Lauder’s classic Beautiful. I adore both, but “eau L’Agent smells like a softer, sexier version of “Beautiful”.

L’Agent Eau Provacatuer is niiiice.
A very real, fresh picked jasmine, a fruity, melon-freesia-rose combo that reminds me of L’eau D’Issey, and a base with 3 of my favorites: sandalwood, musk, patchouli. I could wear this. I would wear this. I will wear this. It is soft, it is feminine. It is soapy, and cool. Like fresh-washed skin. Like I just took a shower, and am lying on a bed strewn with flower petals…awaiting my lover…or not. Maybe I’m just enjoying the morning solitude for a bit before I get dressed, inhaling the crisp spring air breezing through the sheer curtains.
It’s not “merely” a clean floral, however. There’s something…intimate, in this fragrance. It’s not the scent of the bar of soap, it’s the scent of the skin bearing it’s signature.
I think I might buy this.

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.

Why oh why do these delicious green, fruity sparkling top notes vanish almost immediately? Same with the Maitresse!
Such a gorgeous uplifting vibrant start then bang it’s into a pungent screeching floral with nothing hanging around for long but the Jasmine. The Tuberose and Rose popped in to say hello for a moment. The Freesia just didn’t show up and the Ylang Ylang sulked somewhere away in the corner and let Jasmine take over the party. It’s not heady evocative jasmine either but a cheap stinker.
The dry down several hours in is just nose irritating soapy detergent. I doubt the base is worth waiting for.
Absolutely not a scent I would wear out of the house.
Maybe for general spritzing on linen in the home at best.
Another resounding disapointment from AP.

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
