1. Miss AP Eau De Parfum
Review
Agent Provocateur Miss AP is a bold, sensual and seductive oriental floral perfume that is the discreet sister of Agent Provocateur L’Agent.
Opens with the heady, sweet, exotic floral scent of ylang-ylang combined with just a touch of pink pepper. The heart of this fragrance is an intoxicating floral blend of delicate rose and the almost fruity bourbon geranium.
Upon dry-down, the sexy musky aroma of patchouli compliments the sweetness of the ylang-ylang and bourbon geranium. Warming amber and deep sandalwood add both mystery and depth.
Miss AP Eau De Parfum lasted 5+ hours on skin (longer on clothing) with excellent sillage.
As for when to wear, its sensual base notes made me feel this is an autumn/winter/spring fragrance more suited to evening-wear. Perfect when out for a romantic dinner, dancing, or even a date.
Miss AP comes presented in a tall oval metallic pink bottle that looks very chic and sexy.
In summary, Agent Provocateur Miss AP a more discreet version of Agent Provocateur L’Agent. Perfect for evening-wear when you want to add a sense of sensual mystery.
Top Notes:

2. L’Agent Eau De Parfum
Review
Agent Provocateur L’Agent Eau De Parfum is a dramatic oriental floral perfume with seductive and liberating warm spices, sensual musk, and heady incense. Dark, sexy and intoxicating.
The opening is instantly alluring with heady notes of ylang-ylang and rose entwined with pink pepper and a trail of enticing incense. The heart of this fragrance becomes slightly sweeter, with white florals of jasmine and tuberose that become musky as dry-down approaches.
The base is very dark, deep and enticing. The incense becomes increasingly dominant and blends with the aromatic woody scent of myrrh. Patchouli and amber also cast their intoxicating spell to complete the tension.
L’Agent Eau De Parfum lasted an impressive 6+ hours on skin with great sillage.
As for when to wear, the seductive combination of incense, myrrh, patchouli and amber makes for a provocative autumn/winter evening fragrance. An excellent choice for a seductive night in or naughty weekend away.
L’Agent comes presented in a chic and sexy tall oval metallic pink bottle that’s undoubtedly sensual.
In summary, Agent Provocateur L’Agent is a darker and more dramatic version of Miss AP. Indeed, one to wear when you want to reveal your seductive side.

3. Fatale Pink Eau de Parfum
Review
Agent Provocateur Fatale Pink Eau de Parfum was launched back in 2014 and caused quite a stir; A very glamorous oriental floral perfume that is enticingly fresh, floral and naughtily sweet.
The opening is cleaner and fresher than I expected. Crisp tangerine and the grapefruit-like scent of yuzu are first to appear. I did not get much in the way of creamy notes initially.
Mids notes are floral; slightly powdery pink lotus flower and the sweeter lemon sherbet of camellia are striking.
This fragrance is beautiful and sensual on the dry down. The base is musky, yet lifted with the fresh greenness of bamboo; A slightly flirty fragrance but discreet enough to wear outside of your boudoir.
I was quite surprised by the longevity of Fatale Pink. Although its sillage is only moderate, its longevity of 7+ hours made up for it. Great value.
As for when to wear, Fatale Pink is crying out to be worn as a daytime spring/summer scent. One for long romantic daytime walks in the countryside or the coast.
Fatale Pink comes presented in a striking crystal cut style bottle with pretty stopper and a light pink glow.
In summary, Agent Provocateur Fatale Pink is a beautiful, fresh oriental floral feminine fragrance that is hugely underrated. Beautiful.
Top Notes:
Tangerine, Yuzu, Whipped cream
Mid Notes:
Pink Lotus, Camellia, Datura
Base Notes:
Musk, Bamboo, Saffron

4. Fatale Eau de Parfum
Review
Brace yourself, Fatale Eau De Parfum is a very sexy and compliment inducing perfume indeed. This oriental floral fragrance boats not only delightful florals but tempting sweet fruits and chocolate too.
Opens with rich, fruity notes of blackcurrant and mango sprinkled with the spice of pink pepper.
Mid notes of sweet floral gardenia and the heady, intoxicating scent of patchouli make their way to the surface and complement the initial fruity/peppery notes.
Upon dry-down, warming musk, dark, dark chocolate and the sweet vanilla scent of the vanilla orchid bring the entire fragrance together. You must give Fatale at least 20 minuted to reveal itself fully, and for your patience, you are highly rewarded.
Fatale Eau De Parfum is not crazy long-lasting at 4+ hours although it has a relatively good sillage projection. Considering how sexy it is, you will not mind the extra spray required after a few hours to reignite.
With its sumptuous notes of chocolate, berries and floral vanilla, Fatale is almost tailor-made for the autumn/winter months. Perfectly capable as a daytime or nighttime scent, just be careful to what occasion you wear it. You have been warned!
Fatale is presented in a rather striking crystal cut style bottle with clear stopper and emits a light golden glow of the fragrance nestling inside.
In summary, Agent Provocateur Fatale Eau De Parfum is not merely sensual; it’s downright sexy.
Top Notes:
Pink Pepper, Blackcurrant, Mango
Mid Notes:
Gardenia, Orris Root, Patchouli
Base Notes:
Musk, Vanilla, Orchid, Chocolate, Labdanum

5. Fatale Intense Eau de Parfum
Review
Fatale Intense Eau de Parfum is an oriental floral perfume with a twist. You know you are in for a wild ride when you read liquorice, chilli peppers and berries on the same sentence.
The opening is an eclectic combination of fruity dewberry, liquorice, and chilli pepper that are really attention-grabbing. This fragrance soon reveals its heart of florals. A bouquet of blooming lotus, champaca, and rose bring a lightness to the initial spice. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated, almost rebellious base of sumptuous leather, sweet vanilla and warming amber. Incredibly addictive.
Fatale Eau De Parfum Intense long-lasting at 5+ hours with reasonable sillage. The vanilla, leather and liquorice hold up well throughout.
As for when to wear, Fatale Intense Eau de Parfum is perfect for autumn/winter. Those spicy notes combined with leather certainly lend themselves well to evening-wear.
Fatale Intense comes presented in a rather distinct crystal cut style bottle. The ruby red colour is very fitting for this delightful.
In summary, Fatale Intense Eau de Parfum is so much more than a stronger version of the original Fatale; A whole new alluring femme fatale experience.
Top Notes:
Liquorice, Chili Pepper, Dewberry
Mid Notes:
Lotus, Champaca, Rose
Base Notes:
Leather, Amber, Vanilla

6. Petale Noir Eau de Parfum
Review
Launched in 2012, Petale Noir Eau de Parfum is a classic style oriental perfume that has an intriguing vintage vibe about it.
The opening is clean yet floral. Citrus notes of orange and bergamot mingle with floral notes of lotus, magnolia, violet leaf and hyacinth. Mid notes of exotic and slightly powdery ylang-ylang and delicate rose stand out in a sea of other florals.
Upon dry-down, sensual notes of leather, fresh pipe tobacco and musk complete the jigsaw, which ends up as a very sexy leather/tobacco/floral scent with hints of spice.
Petale Noir has incredible longevity at 8+ hours with excellent sillage too. The leather, tobacco and ylang-ylang last until this fragrance finally fades.
As for when to wear, I would classify this as an any-season evening fragrance. The sheer number of notes allows this fragrance to adapt to almost any occasion.
Petale Noir comes presented in a tall, oval, almost egg-shaped bottle that looks very chic and dainty.
In summary, Petale Noir Eau de Parfum is a classic, almost vintage powdery floral fragrance with a seductive side. Very classy yet provocative.
Top Notes:
Lotus, Magnolia, Violet Leaf, Hyacinth, Orange, Bergamot

7. Maitresse Eau de Parfum
Review
Maitresse Eau de Parfum is an irresistible powdery yet musky oriental floral fragrance that oozes vintage class while smelling modern and slightly edgy/contemporary.
This fragrance opens somewhat boldly with powdery floral notes of ylang-ylang and lotus petals. The floral theme continues to develop in the heart of Maitresse with sweet jasmine, peach-like osmanthus, and bitter-sweet iris and violet. Dry-down is sexy and smooth with luxurious, comforting suede, sensual musk and mild woody notes with a hint of warming amber.
Longevity is a reasonable 5+ hours before becoming a skin scent. Sillage is moderate, so most suited for close encounters.
Maitresse is intrinsically oriental floral, with a deep musky/suede base that is best suited for autumn/winter evening-wear. This fragrance would suit an intimate evening out at the theatre or dinner wearing you naughtiest lingerie underneath an elegant outfit.
This fragrance is presented in a rather flirty gold bottle with a red ribbon.
In summary, Maitresse Eau de Parfum is an intriguing combination of soft/powdery florals combined with musk and suede. An old school sexy scent with a modern twist.
Top Notes:
Lotus Petals Ylang-Ylang
Mid Notes:
Osmanthus iris Jasmine Sambac Violet Leaf

8. Agent Provocateur Eau de Parfum
Review
Released in 2000, Agent Provocateur Eau de Parfum is the first in a long line of sensual AP fragrances. This is a provocative woody/musky/floral experience delights the senses with Indian Saffron, Moroccan Rose and Egyptian Jasmine.
The opening is striking with a classic vibe. Clean, yet slightly soapy white magnolia seems to melt into the heady salty/sweet scent of Indian saffron.
Soon, a heart of delicate rose, sweet jasmine and combine with woody/leathery, almost smokey vetiver announce themselves.
Upon dry-down, musk provides a sensual base, with fresh cedar and warming amber dancing teasingly in and out.
Longevity is very good at 7+ hours with heavy sillage, so you will not need to be hunting for the bottle to top it up at an inconvenient moment.
With its rich musky/spicy base, Agent Provocateur Eau de Parfum is more autumn/winter. One to wear in the bedroom (or on your wa to the bedroom). Very naughty indeed.
Presented in a tall, oval, almost egg-shaped bottle in baby pink with black ribbon. Looks decidedly French boudoir.
In summary, Agent Provocateur Eau de Parfum is an alluring fragrance with a cult following. It is becoming harder to find these days so if you come across a bottle, grab it while you can.
Top Notes:
Magnolia, Saffron
Mid Notes:
Gardenia, Vetiver, Moroccan Rose, Egyptian Jasmine
Base Notes:
Amber, Musk, Cedar

Conclusion
We stumbled across the Agent Provocateur perfume range purely by chance late last year while researching for an underwear article in the Harrods lingerie department.
After sampling each fragrance on display, we were impressed by how seductive and sensual they were. Although we felt that the best Agent Provocateur perfumes were from the oriental floral family, they were all a little spicier than we imagined.
Some of these fragrances are no longer for sale in-store, so you may need to hunt online. We managed to get samples for each fairly easily and have included links in this article and hope you find it helpful.
Before you go, I have put together a review of the most elegant perfumes ranging from timeless classics to modern day sophistication that I think you will enjoy.
