Review: Agent Provocateur Perfume for Women

Whenever I walk into my mom's room, I find that she has added new bottles of perfume to her counter top. Usually, I find things that I have already used or tried, but once in awhile she will line the shelves with bottles of perfume I had never heard of before.

One of her newest additions was a bottle of Agent Provocateur Perfume.

The bottle looked like a dyed pastel pink easter egg, which was sort of bland and ugly, and it looked like it was molded out of some sort of clay ceramic.

I wondered though if the perfume would be as ugly as this pink egg shaped bottle?

I sprayed 2 spritz of it onto my chest and waited for the aftermath.

Scent:
 
Agent Provocateur Perfume smelled like Listerine. A spicy mess of minty mouthwash, and a very, very high note of alcohol.

Agent Provocateur is supposedly made with pure saffron oil from India, coriander from Russia with Moroccan rose oil, Egyptian jasmine, French magnolia oil, amber and musk.

Combine these notes together and honestly all I smell is mouth wash and alcohol. There were no notes of amber, no notes of jasmine, magnolia, rose... none of these things. They're supposedly in there though, but all I smelled was stuff to kill germs.

Last:
 
Now usually when perfume smells like crap, it tends to stick around for a really long time, ensuring that you too smell like crap for the rest of the day.

Thankfully Agent Provocateur is short lived. The potent Listerine and alcohol stink vanished nearly as quickly as I hit the spray nozzle down.

Overall:
 
Agent Provocateur is a stink fest. It's geared at women, but has this menthol stink to it that would likely be more appreciated by guys than gals.

Seeing that the scent does not even stick around for longer than a few seconds, it's not worth a red cent in my opinion.

Normally Agent Provocateur sells for close to $44.00 for a 1 ounce bottle. I know that my mom picked it up in a local thrift shop for only $1.00. It was not much of a loss for her, so it's no big deal. She likes collecting perfume solely for the bottles anyway.

My recommendation for everyone else though would be to skip out on this one. That is unless you like perfume that smells like Listerine, and only lasts for a few seconds.
