Agent Provocateur Agent Provocateur 2000

Once the sister of an ex gave me this piece (she is a wonderful person, we had a great relationship, she really has taste, but unfortunately this perfume was well packaged before I tested it, so I assume she never smelled it before).

I'm honestly very surprised at all the positive feedback on this.
Because this pink egg, which comes around the corner so inconspicuously as a little mini pink hand grenade, is an absolute bugbear, indeed a downright insult to the fine olfactory bulb! Hand grenade is truly appropriate here - you know those stink bombs from school that smelled so unbelievably horrible that you had to leave the room because they made your eyes water? - Yep, this is worse xD I'd actually prefer the stink bomb to this "sweetie".
Some call it a granny fragrance - I think some granny fragrances are worlds (!) better. This one is grotesque, uncomfortable, smelly, in its own way - but absolutely not recommendable! I've never met anyone who has worn it & by God I'm grateful for that haha So honestly - I'm sorry for those who seem to like it, but for me it really doesn't work.
I really don't understand what Agent Provocateur was thinking - with their lingerie & this pink design, you automatically assume that there's something sweet, light, elegant, maybe even gourmand in it & then you realize that this agent just wanted to provoke at the lowest level - nothing more. It was so disappointing, I'd be afraid to try the other versions of them...

By the way - I still have it gathering dust on a shelf. Imagine, I also took it on trips - to the flea market, in the hope that someone might love this thing after all & it's just gone for me. A woman tested it & wrinkled her nose so much that we all had to laugh, including her, even though the smell is really no joke!

As I said - I'm otherwise open to a really wide range of scents, but this wouldn't even touch the posh grannies... I guess this thing has an incredible shelf life, like many horrible fragrances. In the best case scenario, you would say "beast fashion" - I find "monster fashion from the crypt" more fitting...
