Agent Provocateur is often compared to Jean Couturier's Coriandre, a fragrance that I wore for many years but have resisted re-visiting for fear that the reformulation will depress me. I can catch the comparison only briefly in the top notes, and then later only from a distance: up close, Agent Provocateur smells quite different from what I remember of Coriandre, which in my memory was more sparkling and green than rich and creamy. If I'm wrong, please don't tell me.
