Provocateur
Agent
Provocateur is a famous London-based Lingerie company, renowned for
creating seductive underwear that is elegant yet sexy. The signature
scent for Agent Provocateur had to embody this ethos and be sensual,
yet not brash, timeless and alluring. To create this special fragrance,
Agent Provocateur used a Moroccan rose, Indian saffron, Egyptian jasmine,
and French magnolia oil for the heart, layered over a bewitching base
of vetiver, warm amber, and animalistic musk.

Useful
Information on Perfume & Fine Fragrance
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Perfume
This is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the scent
in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and round texture,
which is hard to achieve with the dilution represented in the other
concentrations of fragrance. This makes pure perfumes the most expensive
way to buy a scent. Pure perfumes also contain 20 to 40 per cent of
fragrance oils and expensive elixirs, which are held in alcohol to
enable them to bond to the skin. This is a much higher concentration
of oils than in other types of fragrance. The longer lasting base
notes often dominates the formulation of pure perfumes, with fifty
per cent of the fragrance concentrated at that end. Perfume is generally
dabbed onto the skin rather than sprayed on as the propellant added
can often damage the oils and decrease their staying power.
Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum or EDP is one of the most popular forms of fragrance.
Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent of fragrance
oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest, and longest
lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance. It is estimated that around
70 per cent of an Eau de Parfum can be lost after several hours and
approximately 30 per cent will remain 24 hours later. Eau de Parfum’s
continue to be popular as they are an economical and long-lasting
means of wearing a fragrance due to their high quantity of oils.
Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette or EDT is fast becoming the most common means of wearing
a fragrance or perfume. EDT’s are not as highly concentrated
in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one
to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the
fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT
fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application. EDT’s
are often expected to last throughout the day, but in reality they
should be used in the traditional sense, as a toilette water, and
splashed all over the body to refresh and revive the senses.
Eau de Cologne
Eau de Cologne’s or EDC’s were first popularised by Napoleon.
These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the
traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst. As
a result of this process, EDC’s or Eau de Colognes last the
least amount of time on the skin and can dissolve within a couple
of hours. EDC’s should be worn as a invigorating spray.
Scented Body Creams
Fragranced Body Creams or Scented Body Lotions are an increasingly
popular means of wearing a fine fragrance or perfume. These fragranced
body products contain around eight per cent of the aromatic oils present
in a perfume, and perfumed body lotions are formulated with around
three to five per cent. These perfumed body products have a thick
cream or lotion base, which allows the scent to bond with the skin
and linger in its more concentrated form. Perfumed Body Creams and
Fragranced Body Lotions can often be smelt faintly on the body up
to twenty-four hours later.
