Spread the fragrance |
10 Corso Como Milan, Milan 20154 Italy +39 2 65 3531 |
No prizes for guessing where the international perfume brand 10 Corso Como can be found - at Corso Como 10 Street of course! Carla Sozzani, the creator of the fragrance drew her inspiration from a 1930's perfume she found in a flea market. The demand for this perfume had increased so much that it led to the establishment of this retail outlet at Corso Como 10. Step in to find yourself the perfect sweet-smelling fragrance - choose from Eau de Parfum, Body Lotion and Bubble Bath among others. This globally popular brand is a tad expensive, and in places like India, it's sold by the gram. Review © 2007, Wcities |
