Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Jacomo Eau de Parfum

Jacomo de Jacomo is a divisive, full-throttle 80s powerhouse. It's not for the faint of heart, blending pungent spice and smoke with a rugged masculinity many adore, and others detest. This one's an acquired taste, darling.

Our Verdict - English Fern Eau de Toilette

This isn't just a perfume, it's a historical artefact. English Fern is a classic fougère that transports you to a Victorian barbershop - whether you want to go there or not. Prepare for a full-on green, soapy, and somewhat medicinal journey, with plenty of divisive takes along the way.

Season and Occasion Fit

de Jacomo Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its potent, assertive character and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, but ideal for formal occasions where its masculine depth can shine. While too heavy for casual daytime use, it could work for an evening out, though it's hardly romantic in a conventional sense.

English Fern Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its sharp, bold opening and often strong performance (for some) make it a bit much for a formal office environment, but the clean and fresh dry-down is perfect for casual wear. It leans more mature and traditional, suiting formal occasions, but its slightly aggressive fougère character might not be universally appreciated on a date.
