Agent Provocateur Maitresse by Agent Provocateur is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Agent Provocateur Maitresse was launched in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Christian Provenzano. Top notes are Ylang-Ylang and Lotus Petals; middle notes are Iris, Osmanthus, Jasmine Sambac and Violet Leaf; base notes are Musk, White Suede, Amber and Cedar. Maitresse is the newest fragrance of Agent Provocateur. This is an irresistible secret weapon, a sweet and sexy fragrance, which is not so emphatic and shameless as the first AP scent, but seductive as well. The composition is based on aldehydes. The passionate opening of White Lotus Petals and delicate nuances of white Ylang Ylang and Violet leaves leads to the floral heart of Osmanthus, Jasmin and Rose. The final note is woodsy powdery with Iris, Oriental, Patchouly and White Suede. The egg-shaped (bomb-shaped) bottle is provocative as the pervious ones. The perfume was created by Azzi Glasser 2007.

How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
Amber
Amber is an olfactory illusion, conjured from labdanum, benzoin, vanilla, and other resins to evoke the sun-soaked warmth of the Mediterranean coast. Its scent is both earthy and sweet, with a powdery undertone that mimics the richness of ancient incense.
Cedar
Cedar, sourced from various species of coniferous trees, exudes a deep, resinous aroma with hints of sweetness and wood smoke. Its scent is both comforting and grounding, reminiscent of old libraries or the quiet solitude of a forest. This versatile note has long been favored for its ability to blend seamlessly into complex compositions without overpowering other ingredients.

Fragrances that pair well with Agent Provocateur Maitresse
Iris Suede, Rosemary Lift
Maitresse's iris and white suede give a soft, powdery musk that Eau Emotionnelle brightens with rosemary and coriander. Both carry ylang-ylang, jasmine and cedar, so the florals merge into one continuous accord while Eau Emotionnelle's spicier top keeps Maitresse's amber base from sitting too heavy.
Wear Maitresse close to the skin as the base layer, then spray Eau Emotionnelle over it so the coriander and pink pepper cut through the suede.
