While it isn’t my favorite Agent Provocateur scent (that would be L’Agent, if you’re wondering), it is still quite enjoyable to wear and quite versatile.

I have got the whole collection line of Maitresse, including the Golden Shimmering limited edition bottle, which I use on very special occasions. I remember refering to it before as "a mess" of different notes, all too strong, fighting eachother. Thanks to the flowers of Lotus Petals, Ylang Ylang, Osmanthus and Jasmin it is quite intense, but also it is warm and powdery smell because of the notes of suede and amber. Perhaps it is marketing effecting my mental expirience with this fragance, but on all the occasions I've worn this I manage to find myself feeling.That's why I think my bottle of Maitresse will be done way before I ever finish AP, L'Agent, and Petale Noir.

Sadly, the person that had kept me waiting phoned me in the worst possible moment: when he and I were most amused in our conversation. It is very different from the original AP, much fresher and easier to wear, but it still has that old timey vibe.

I love the bottle, and I think the lotus and all the notes work well except for one, which my nose repels, and I would say it is the suede note.I like this one more then Emotionelle and I'm still very interested in smelling Strip and the original. Theres something addictive about this perfume for me, it is very warm and rich but still undoubtedly feminine and graceful, a very slinky scent.
