Fatal for Agent Provocateur Fatale

Love! I bought because of comparisons to La vie Est Belle, and they are close, but switch out the pear for mango in Fatale. It’s better! This has a dry orris that is addicting, and the chocolate dry down lingers on the skin. It lasts on clothes, too. I can see why this is popular.
It’s sweet black currant to start, with a sharp and dry powder. Creamy gardenia-mango comes in with a hint of warm chocolate patchouli. Just beautiful. The bottle is a pretty design as well. This is one of my all time favorites, and sits alongside Soleil Cristal and LVEB Intensement in my collection.

Joyful oriental

Another wonderful perfume from Agent Provocateur. Oriental, sweet, aromatic with the chocolate and vanilla accord which makes it wearable even in spring and summer. Long lasting, AP perfumes never let you down, with decent sillage and nice glass bottle. Fatale is in the same vibe of Flowerbomb and La vie est belle. Try it and will not be disappointed.

One is a pioneer of the matter - and another perfects it.

First of all, I would like to emphasize that I do not want to join the rumor that Fatale is a dupe of La Vie est Belle. And that Fatale is a dupe of Si, in my opinion, is even less fitting.
However, I suspect why these rumors arise. The answer is: fruit, maltol, powder, and vanilla. They all have these four, and not just these three.
Since La Vie est Belle is the most well-known fragrance in this group, I always refer to fragrances with a similar character as the "LVEB class." Similar to the Golf class.
Now, just because someone is in the Golf class doesn't mean they have to like the Golf the most. And from the LVEB class, one doesn't have to like LVEB.
I know that many users rate fragrances from this class very negatively. I cannot agree with that either, if only because this type of fragrance is an innovation, a completely unique class of fragrances. For that alone, it deserves respect, regardless of whether these fragrances suit one's personal taste. On the other hand, one doesn't have to worship every free rider in this class. Even if Fatale is not exactly the pioneer of this class, for me, it is the most wearable and thus perfected variation so far.

Why is that?
1. The fruit of Fatale is only briefly sour on my skin (with Si, for example, it remains so the whole time).
2. The heart note is without the combination of jasmine/orange blossom, which I find unpleasantly piercing in the background.
3. The fragrance is indeed strongly influenced by maltol, but it seems to me somewhat less sweet and a bit more transparent than others in this class.
4. The musk is powdery, unfortunately with a hint of hairspray, but still somewhat less stuffy than "Praline," or "Orcanox," and co. in others.
5. It is a fragrance with vanilla, but the vanilla remains well integrated and subtly in the background..

And with these characteristics, Fatale beautifully brings out what makes the LVEB class a class of its own for me: this enormous warmth, which is not created like before in perfumes from sultry flowers and resins, but from new scent materials. This dryness, as dry as one used to find only in fragrances with dominant iris or hairspray musk bombs. The fruit, which stands out and shines in a place where one usually found flowers in older fragrances. The sweetness, without which this class would not be what it is: gourmand.

Overall, I find this combination in Fatale very pleasantly balanced and soothingly cozy.

And even though I am fundamentally a lover of floral and spicy scents, this representative of its class will soon enrich my collection.

La vie est jolie

After reading good comments in other forums about Fatale, I’m now taking the plunge here in my favorite forum.
Fatale is said to be a dupe for La Vie est Belle - a perfume that I truly appreciate despite having many fans and just as many detractors.
And what can I say to you fellow perfume enthusiasts?
It’s true, Fatale smells very, very similar and also boasts quite good longevity.
The top note, however, starts off a bit less sweet in my opinion, so perhaps it’s a work-appropriate version....
I find it fruitier at the beginning; maybe the pink pepper adds its touch....
When comparing the notes, quite a bit has been copied (or coincidentally mixed in?????)....
The blackcurrant is quite prominent in both - hmm... it’s delicious!
Praline in the base of LVEB and chocolate in Fatale.
Conclusion: If you wait about three hours, you can hardly distinguish between the two perfumes - however, La Vie est Belle remains my favorite, as I find the top note extremely important and don’t always want to wait.... Fatale is a good scent for gourmand lovers who still need to watch their budget, definitely a thumbs up!!!!
P.S. I really can’t understand why SI is also listed here as a scent twin of LVeB; Fatale is much closer!!!
