Agent Provocateur Agent Provocateur 2000

If you read through the fragrance notes above, you might not catch the right drift of Agent Provocateur. AP is a dirty and suggestive (in all the best ways) rose fragrance. The saffron and corainder combined with the musk, takes this uprtight powdery rose in a somewhat inappropriate and backroom direction, which is quite addictive. Like one of those powdered wig courtesans, AP has a formal outward appearance, and trappings of a traditional rose scent, but also a complex spicy sharpness that often leaves people divided on whether or not they like actually like it. Also, it opens with a bitter sharp blast (much like Montale's White Aoud) that takes a few minutes to calm down, so hang in there for a few minutes if you are trying it for the first time....
