Silences

by Jean-Claude Niel

Jacomo Paris Silences is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1978, created by Jean-Claude Niel. The fragrance opens with Orange Blossom, Green, Redcurrant Leaf, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Iris, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Silences: Statement

Silences is a green beast, period. It'll throw you into a wild, mossy forest with an unapologetic bite, but don't expect a gentle stroll. It's divisive: a love-it-or-hate-it green chypre that might just be Chanel No. 19's cooler, more rugged cousin.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Given its strong green, occasionally sharp character and moderate sillage, Silences can be a statement for formal or office wear, though it might be a bit too intense for very close-quarters office environments. Its freshness makes it suitable casually, but it's not a typical sport scent due to its more complex, serious profile.

About

Imagine a dense, misty forest after a rain shower. Silences opens with a sharp, vibrant blast of galbanum and bitter green notes, reminiscent of crushed leaves and damp earth. This quickly softens into delicate, dewy florals like lily of the valley and iris, underpinned by a woody, mossy foundation. The drydown settles into an elegant vetiver and oakmoss, retaining a verdant, almost earthy aroma with a hint of soapy clean.
