Agent Provocateur 'Eau Provocateur' Launch - A Trio of New Fragrances

Launching next week is the Spring 2012 'Eau Provocateur' Collection from Agent Provocateur. I had a chance to preview this trio of fragrances during the launch party at the Agent Provocateur store at 675 Madison Avenue.

The 3 tantalizing day fragrances have a beautifully shaped, sensual bottle each with its own pretty soft shade to signify its distinct personality.

'Eau Provocateur' is light and feminine, a modern twist on the original Eau de Parfum, Maitresse and L'Agent.

Agent Provocateur 'Eau Provocateur' opens with citrus notes and red fruit. The heart of the fragrance reveals an array of fresh new florals such as muguet and orange flower. Gentle base notes of myrrh, vanilla and tonka bean add softness and sensuality.

Agent Provocateur L'Agent 'Eau Provocateur' is a fresh floral fragrance, opening with subtle citrus accords of bergamot, leaf accord (fresh cut green leaves), mandarin, apple, melon and peach, which gives way to a heart full of rose, jasmine, tuberose, magnolia, freesia and ylang. Base notes include musk, patchouli, sandalwood and amber crystals.

Agent Provocateur Maitresse 'Eau Provocateur' includes fragrant accords of rose, jasmin sambacand iris with delightfully light, green notes of Acacia (a thorny shrub). A green note of Granny Smith apples makes this a lingering scent so fresh and floral. The delectable base is made up of amber, sandalwood, tonka and gourmande elements.

Agent Provocateur 'Eau Provocateur' Collection will be available in selected department stores as of April 15th, 2012 at $70 for the 50ml Eau de Toilette Spray.

To find your color, take the quiz at aisforaldo.com.

Turns out I'm a yellow, which is exactly the fragrance I chose, based on the scent. Here's what the quiz said about yellow:

You may be all grown-up but you still have a love for play. You're competitive but only in so much as you believe in good sportsmanship. You're not so much lolz as much as you are a coy grin and a wink with a wit to match.
