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.

I am glad you liked this as its current formula is weak. Check for a bottle of Santos men edt Cartier. Now discontinued. You will love it!

Yeah, the longevity wasn't good. Thanks for the tip!

Sounds pretty nice! It’s the patch and moss combo I’m curious for.

Same as in Boss Number One which you like and is from the same period.

Well, it's a combo that's ever present in most of the 80's men's fragrances. Oak moss is usually in the base and patch is in the heart and/or base.
