Guerlain Attrape Coeur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Mathilde Laurent.

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:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This perfume's rich, luxurious, and distinct character, noted by reviewers as 'smelling expensive', makes it unsuitable for the office. It's perfectly suited for formal events and intimate date nights where its depth and sophistication can truly shine.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Attrape Coeur opens with a whisper of rose and a fleeting hint of peach, quickly giving way to a regal bouquet of iris and violet, underscored by a subtle cinnamon warmth. The heart is all about that creamy, powdery floral elegance, leading into a luxurious base of amber, vanilla, and a touch of grounding oakmoss. It's a sophisticated composition that masterfully blends powdery and woody elements with a rich, spice-laced sweetness.
