Agent Provocateur Pure Aphrodisiaque is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Honorine Blanc. Pure Aphrodisiaque opens with Mandarin, Pear, and Rum, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Amber. Agent Provocateur's Pure Aphrodisiaque carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you. Many expect a powerhouse sex scent, but this is a surprisingly gentle, sweet fruity-floral. It's a fresh, easy-going everyday option, though some find it a bit too generic and underwhelming for Agent Provocateur.

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.

Its soft sillage and pleasant fruity-floral profile make it ideal for everyday wear, including the office or casual outings, ensuring it won't overwhelm. However, its lack of projection makes it less suitable for formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired.

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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright burst of juicy pear and mandarin, lightly warmed by a subtle rum note. The heart blossoms into a soft bouquet of white florals-tuberose, jasmine, orchid, and gardenia-creating a clean, airy femininity. It settles into a delicate musky, amber, and woody base, providing a gentle warmth that stays close to the skin.
