Agent Provocateur: Agent Provocateur, Eau de Toilette

A girl at work gave me a little sample sized bottle of this perfume, which she had been given as a sample in a department store. She said it was 'too flowery' for her tastes, but always willing to try something new, I decided to give it a go. Agent Provocateur are actually a lingerie store- a very expensive one at that - Victoria Beckham apparently gets all her smalls from there, but in recent years they have started producing a range of perfumes, and I believe this one, named simply Agent Provocateur, was their first. I got a small vial of this perfume, so haven't actually got the full sized bottle, but even so I'm not too keen on the design of it. ...  Read the complete review

The bottle is a saucy pink hand grenade-esque shape made of porcelain, just pull the black tag and get ready for fireworks. This potent, sensual perfume is the distilled essence of naughtiness created to embody the ethos of Agent Provocateur: purveyors of glamourous lacey, silky, sex-kittenish items that continually feature in coffee-table glossy magazines the world over. Agent Provocateur is closely linked to Vivienne Westwood, being started and run by Joe Corre - her son by Malcom Maclaren. I have always loved Westwood's own 'Boudoir' perfume, but wanted a bit of a change so ...  Read the complete review

I'm becoming a little concerned that I am, in fact, marketing's wet dream. Now, I'm not talking about the marketing department in my office (although they do seem to like my shoes). No, I'm on about the fact that when I have money within around 10 feet of me I become very impressionable. Yes, I appreciate that everyone has a bit of this about them - we live in a consumerist society and all that - I do know this, I have a degree in philosophy and could probably bore you with consumerist society drivel for hours. My problem goes a lot deeper than most though, and how I came to purchase this perfume is a prime example of why it's probably a good thing that I don't earn more ...  Read the complete review

This is the new perfume from lingerie shop 'Agent Provocateur' who are based in London.( see my Agent Provocateur Knickers opinion for proof of my obsession!) It contains some unexpected ingredients including Saffron oil, coriander, deep musk and amber alongside exotic florals. And the scent is heavenly - very unusual, exotic, deep and sexy. I find that because the ingredients are so powerful, it is a very intense fragrance and requires only one squirt to last the whole day and it doesn't fade, but changes subtly. This means that one bottle of 50mls eau de parfum should last considerably longer than other weaker scents do. The packaging, as ...  Read the complete review

I was quite intrigued by this perfume as I've always liked the old fashioned burlesque look of the bottle but up until recently had never actually smelt it, so I took the plunge and asked my hubby to buy me some for my birthday and shockingly on his part he did! My first thoughts were it didn't smell how I thought it might-it's quite a sweet 'high pitched' sort of fragrance that on one hand is very innocent and girly but also has this very heady and powerful essence that shouts out dark and sexy. It is however quite a bewitching smell that makes you want to wear it all the time, however personally I think it is suited to more evening or to be honest would not be out of ...  Read the complete review
