Waxed exotic
Vittoria Apuana would be a bottled Heaven if only it smelled this exotic as the notes suggest!
After the initial blast of the tropical dots of mandarin banana and coconut, that are so yummy like the best possible fruity cocktail, it somehow "falls" into the deep amber-coconut notes which make it smell as if you would light the coconut scented candle and poured the melted wax all over yourself. After so many tests I can't help the feeling it smells stuffy, waxy and unnatural, unfortunately... So let's face the truth- as it's simply not worth that enormous amount of money.
The lasting power is incredibly good!

Cinnamon Dreams
To my nose, Rousse is rather linear cinnamon scent, warm, powdery and cozy, almost contemplating. The only one I enjoy wearing before falling asleep, I guess its dullness just turns me off and instantly transports into the land of dreams!
Velvet Blue
Extrait, exactly...
Denser than the original one which is a bit "watery", juicy; this one is stiff, sweet like marmalade, but at the same time, juvenile, girly, devoid of the patchouli note witch would give it more serious effect.
Dreamy, enjoyable, but not as alluring and poisonous as the Midnight Poison is...
Average lasting power, or even I dare to say- poor, regarding the fact this is extract! 4-5h maximum.

APOM a la Arabian manner!
Shahla reminded me so much of APOM.
It is hard to be described, but the most that I can tell is that it smells of waxed orange flower, creamy, very strong, appears to be sunny, yellow, bright and very alluring and feminine.
I am not fan of flowers, but one is Goddess.
Radiant smell and extremely good lasting power.
10/10.

A.P. turning more and more flowery and green!
Being my signature house, I am announcing with great sadness that this is the first Agent Provocateur creation that I don't like. The name already suggests it, but seems that I had been ignoring it; this baby comes with large label- ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY for FLORAL LOVERS! If you don't fit that category, you better stay away from it or you'll be blown away!
The initial blast was so familiar to me, and it enormously reminded me of Amouage Honour due to prominent lily-of-the-valley note. I was almost sure that Petale noir was going to follow the same powdery elegant and white path and that it was going to be even more sweet after settling down into warm base, but I was so wrong. Instead of that, with each new minute, the smell was turning more and more into sharp floral fragrance with green traces becoming that penetrating I had to wash it off. What I get from it are dominant notes of violet leaf, that green that at one point it resembled tomato leaf and strong hyacinth flowers. I get no base notes, except a bit of amber in the very beginning, but that would be all.
I am allergic to flowers, I can't help it.
Other than that, I would rate it with maximum note or at least 9 of 10 for its lasting power, projection, uniqueness, strength, bottle design, but I cannot omit to conclude that recently Agent provocateur has been leaning towards more and more flowery side what I personally do not like at all.
