Maitresse Eau Provocateur
by Agent Provocateur
Maitresse Eau Provocateur presents a light, soft floral-fruity composition centered on iris, mimosa, and apple, with subtle warm depth from tonka, amber, and sandalwood. The opening features a crisp, tart fruitiness—grapefruit, cassis, and granny smith apple—that quickly gives way to a delicate, powdery floral core dominated by iris and jasmine. The overall impression is gentle, feminine, and quietly elegant, with a strong focus on freshness and soft sillage. While some find it subtle to the point of fading almost immediately, others appreciate its refined, unobtrusive presence. The scent lingers most in the first few hours and evolves into a soft, warm base of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood. It performs best as a daytime fragrance, particularly in spring and summer, and suits those in search of a quiet, refined floral without heavy sweetness or strong projection.
Pros
- +Feminine, delicate, and elegant fragrance with a fresh, gentle character suited for daytime wear.

Cons
