Pure black magic
So I’ll admit it: I blind bought a 100 ml tester bottle of this bad boy. I smashed the Buy Now button once I saw reviewers were associating it with Type O Negative songs. Plus, it was only $25. Sue me.

But man, am I glad I did! As a lifelong New Englander, believe me when I say Jacomo de Jacomo is the black cloak you drape yourself in once the skies darken and the temperatures start to really drop. The second I tested this on my skin, I was immediately transported to childhood memories of attending fairs and festivals on chilly fall days, complete with hay rides and Barbecue cook-offs.

This is as close as you can get to the color black without oud or loud animalics. If notes like patchouli or cumin generally give you pause, rest assured: Jacomo is all smoke and cloves with an a hint of leather and a fresh layer of fougere to pull it all together.

If you want something that will make you feel you’re turning into a dragon when you spray it on, give this a shot. This is exactly the kind of scent I desperately wanted Passion by Elizabeth Taylor, Poison by Dior, Black Orchid by Tom Ford, and Voice of the Snake by Gucci to be for me.

I’m obsessed.

Typical 80's masculine scent although unique due to cloves
Jacomo de Jacomo is a typical 80's style masculine fragrance. What I found unique about it is the cloves note which hangs around pretty much for the entire life of the scent. The clove note isn't overpowering or Christmas-y like those cinnamon-clove pine cones sold around the holidays. In fact, I wouldn't have minded had the cloves been a tad stronger. Also has the expected oak moss & patch component that is so good in the classic fragrances from that time. It also has a touch of cigarette ashtray, but very subtle. Nowhere near as strong as with Quorum. The only downer with Jacomo is that the longevity isn't that great. After about 5 hours, all you're left with is a pretty close skin scent. Projection is also average after about an hour. I'll still hold on to my bottle because it is a pretty unique scent and I can always respray as needed.

Jacomo de Jacomo
Today again after 36 years I smell the same smell I had as a high school student. "Jacomo de Jacomo" arrived today, and at that time in 1988, "Ronhill Black" was a Yugoslavian clone of "Jacomo de Jacomo". Only a scent can evoke some ancient memories and memories of dear people so intensely. Not to repeat everything written below..."Jacomo" is a classic but I have to mention that "Krka" in the eighties did a great job.

Spicy mysticism on a green background
Here, the follow-up fragrance is at least as good as the "original"! And the great ingredients arranged slightly differently and slightly varied create a very unique mood.
The lavender is mysteriously hidden in slightly harsh spices, yet still easy to smell.
The strictly green, almost "razor-sharp" galbanum sets its woody accents.
What comes next has something "mystical" about it! Clove-like darkness vies for the light of the delicate rose geranium, only to merge into a blackish red.
The moss is already peeking around the corner and shares its presence with earthy patchouli, inky birch tar and fine woods.
A good portion of vetiver (missing from the fragrance pyramid) and caraway, which creates a bittersweet note in the background, are not entirely innocent of the "mystical scent".
In any case, the "newer" Jacomo has won my nose and my mind's favor. Without much effort, it joins the ranks of the "mystical elixirs"! :-))

A soapy blend focusing on cloves and rosewood.
Lingering dry smoke accentuates the spiciness.
Subdued, leathery - captures the noir feeling.
