Agent Provocateur Lace Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Christian Provenzano. Lace Noir opens with Bergamot and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Agent Provocateur's Lace Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper bombshell, love it or hate it. It's got that old-school glamour but some reckon it's a bit too 'vintage Christmas candle' for modern tastes. Definitely not for the faint of heart - expect strong reactions.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its long-lasting performance and moderate-to-strong sillage, Lace Noir is too potent for office wear. Its rich, sensual character makes it perfect for evening dates and formal events, especially in cooler weather, but it's far too heavy for casual or sport settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Lace Noir kicks off with a zing of bergamot and a sharp pink pepper, then settles into a heady bouquet of rose, jasmine, and tuberose, with a creamy hint of coconut. The base is all warm patchouli, vanilla, and tonka bean, delivering a rich, balsamic depth that lingers on the skin, and clothes, for ages.
