Jacomo Paris de Jacomo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1980, created by Christian Mathieu. de Jacomo opens with Grapefruit, Lime, Cardamom, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Cypress, Rosewood, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Jacomo Paris's de Jacomo carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Imagine stepping into a dimly lit, wood-panelled room, the air thick with the aroma of mulled wine and burning spices. Jacomo de Jacomo opens with bracing grapefruit and lime, quickly deepened by an assertive blend of warm spices-think clove, cumin, and cinnamon. Earthy oakmoss and aromatic herbs like basil and sage intertwine with a smoky aura, settling into a complex, brooding leather-like drydown with hints of musk and patchouli that evokes vintage charm.
