    What do reviewers say about Agent Provocateur Maitresse and Alaïa?

    The aldehydes. That's the line. Some noses find them too much. Others lean in and stay there for six hours. If you want a fragrance that flirts back, one that knows its own power, this is the one.Agent Provocateur Maitresse
    For a fragrance named after a designer known for body-conscious silhouettes, Alaïa smells surprisingly weightless. The air accord gives it an almost transparent quality that makes the floral heart.Alaïa
