Jacomo for Men

I found this frag by fluke, I was looking for something else and tucked away was Jacomo for men. It was sealed so I made a blind purchase. I have to agree with AntonisZ...It really is a real Gem from Jacomo. At first I thought it was going to have a similar aroma like Jacomo by Jacomo. After spraying it on my skin, I did find it slightly sweet but 10min later this frag took off being a real AMAZING FRAGRANCE !!!! The combination of sweet notes plum, Tonka beans and Amber with spicy notes of pimento and black pepper makes this frag A TRUE CLASSIC from Jacomo. Longevity is beyond 8hrs...excellent. Sillage is sufficient enough so it isn't heavy. Overall thoughts, All I can say is try to find and buy it you won't regret it. This frag has modern scent, yet you can still pick up a touch of old school aroma being slightly more sweeter and spicer then most frag when you first spray it on. To me this frag is perfect during the fall/winter days. Guy's listen up !!!! If you want to spice up your evening, spray some on your body and watch your partner react..you'll be amazed. In my books this frag is beyond anything I've ever seen from Jacomo...BRAVO 100% EXCELLENT AND BEYOND !!!!

This is "a hidden gem" as others have correctly stated already. However I will disagree with those who have wrongly judged it as predominantly sweet. I think there's a distinction between a perfume being "warm" from "sweet". Here's a successful marriage of earthy - woody - fruity notes which result to a warm blend that's probably mistaken for sweet. A warm and spicy fragrance, ready to charm all of us who care to have such masculine blend in our wardrobe, instead of those sickening sweet trendy perfumes. It's an overpowering and long lasting perfume, so you'd better apply it modestly, especially during the hotter times of the year. Yes, I'm suggesting that's an all season fragrance: I'm using it today where we have about 29C sunny weather and I can assure you that it's "behaving" properly under these conditions! Another thing I like in this scent is its resemblance to another favorite from Ferre - "In The Mood for Love", although I find Ferre's perfume heavier and better for wintertime. Jacomo for Men is definitely a quality EDT and its very affordable price makes an excellent value for money! My rating: 8/10

Jacomo for Men is one of my favorites. The notes blend so well to produce a very smooth semi-sweet,slightly spicy aroma. The coffee note is not too heavy which is a good thing as coffee can sometimes drown out other notes in a fragrance. There is just enough nutmeg, pepper and pimento to give it a bit of spiciness. Longevity and projection are very good. Not too many seem to know about this gem which is good. @ edge42 I have both Baldessarini Ambre and Jacomo and I don't find them that similar. They are both very smooth, but that's where it ends to me. Ambre has vey boozy and aged Bourbon barrel smell. Ambre also isn't spicy. It's more of a serious smell. I say still get Ambre.

Let me just start by saying I LOVE this scent. But I'm afraid I may have gotten a bad bottle or I get almost instantaneous olfactory fatigue as I can't smell it for more than a few minutes after applying. What the...! Today I used 5 or 6 sprays which is about double what I usually do and I still can't smell it. This was in my wife's top 7 of over 50 fragrances we tested as well, second only to the incredible Lanvin Arpege Pour Homme in the heavy-hitting Oriental category. The smell is one of the best ever, but perhaps I got a dud. Jacomo for Men is good enough that I will buy another bottle just to make sure though.

I disagree that this is a “mature” scent. In fact, there is something in here very similar to Abercrombie woods. With that said - this is spicy plum. A hint of sweetness from the plum/Tonka - nice woody backbone. In all honesty, this is probably one of the best I’ve tried this year. I also absolutely love that this is a subtle scent - it’s not going to clear out a room, but if someone ventures close to you, they’ll stay there. I will say - the plum is in the same vein as John Varvatos vintage. It’s on the sharper side than the smooth/Smokey side (like plum japonais) at any rate - Top notch - buy it. 8/10
