I even go so far to say they kind of invented perfume. The house is one of the great big players in the industry and has been founded in 1828. They produce fragrance, makeup and skincare. Besides that, you are absolutely right: Attrape coeur is a real heart catcher. But unfortunately, the production has been discontinued as far as I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-76642402006013306682011-09-21T04:05:46.138+01:002011-09-21T04:05:46.138+01:00And why not, Fleurine!

I read somewhere that it smells very much like Attrape Coeur. I only know Sotto Voce. If you are not familiar with Biagiotti's fragrances you should definitely try them out.

But it's big, feminine affair - lots of jasmine and lily along with musk in there, too.
