Agent Provocateur was one of those classic blind buys, based on what felt like 100 read Parfumo reviews and a very tempting price-performance combo. Arriving yesterday, I was extremely curious, as polarizing scents are a particular pläsir of mine. First impression: this is Opium's piggy pink sister! Whereby the haptic superfine bottle is a total misdirection, with pink-lovely-powdery Agent Provocateur has not the slightest thing to do. It doesn't even want to. The top note pops in any case spicy-herbaceous, as I find, and was for me not at all assignable. Anything but pleasant. Rather putzmittelscharf and just tart. Mentally, I was already thinking about how many coins I could sell this thing to the community in the souk. On the other hand I knew, well, he and I, we will need time. AP doesn't polarize so fiercely for nothing.

In the heart note then suddenly something flowery, more pleasing opens up, probably the rose. Interestingly, has been present on my skin (wrist test overnight) left the rose, right the herbaceous. So much for individual skin chemistry ;-). By the way, my skin is normally a scent eater, quite a few scents are hardly noticeable on me after a few hours at most. AP has easily survived until the next morning. The base I would then even classify as unisex, soapy-clean and there issie yes again, the opium DNA, of which I do not know where it comes from.

Conclusion: I like it. This is a fragrance that is probably severely underrated. Complex enough to develop some edges, beastmode as far as longevity and sillage go, interesting. Those who like it super pleasing probably won't enjoy it. One of the fragrances that demand great entrée

The role of the stepchild flanker in the Eternity family, the black sheep who no one really knows why he was placed DORTHIN of all places, doesn't do this super-pleasing bouquet justice. At the Eternity family party, he impresses with his euphoric presence and cheerful attitude, keeping a clear distance from the cheeky and domineering big showcase sister. Yes, this moment may be mainstream, yes it's lovely evergreen and fans of Filippo Sorcinelli and the like will only smile mildly, but it makes up for the lack of complexity. Through his radiant, all-embracing nature, a core that nothing evil clouds, a naive freshness that promises a mostly friendly general weather and lets you float away emotionally into light realms. This is a really formidable way to celebrate the moment and the little sister has no other demands.
