Parfum Rare Jacomo 1985 Eau de Toilette

The wings of the large double doors are opened and behind them lies it: a richly sparkling hall of fragrance, expansive and shining in numerous facets.
What a splendor of scents and aromas is displayed here: Not only do the wonderful and quite common floral beauties and the base classics of oak moss, vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli unfold enticingly; also, skillfully and sophisticatedly added spices and noble woods complete this treasure of fragrance!

To analyze and reveal all the fragrance notes united into this magnificent whole, I would have to be a mosaic artist who can still add and replace pieces stone by stone afterwards.
I am not that, and so I content myself in my own way to describe this brilliant fragrance spectacle that presents itself on my skin.

Of course, they are also here, the floral sisters from the "Guerlainade": the scent-intensive and charming "parfumeurs" May roses from Grasse; sensual, almost intoxicatingly radiant white jasmine flowers with golden-yellow faces, and the familiar aroma of irises, which inhabit large fields around Florence and thus enchant the early summer there.
Of course, they are magnificent again, but also variable to the known and do not disappoint.
However, the familiar scent paths are now left behind:
Through the somewhat bitter, but in some fragrance creations very interesting tagetes aromas, a surprisingly different scent path opens up that is worth following.
Even the immortelles, which are sometimes perceived (as I do) rather critically, have been skillfully dosed here and provide a wearable base for the spice of cardamom and coriander. Here, both originally exotic spices can harmoniously settle and thus flatter the noble rosewood in its elegant fragrance appearance.
For nothing should come across as loud here; this fragrance nuance is too fragile, too unique - simply too beautiful!
An opulent, finely spiced floral bouquet thus emerges from a well-known base of oak moss and this time slightly scratchy, erotically/animalistically appearing sandalwood, before earthy-moist fragrance tones of vetiver and patchouli finally conclude this extraordinary and exceptionally beautiful fragrance composition.
Actually a creation of all that is known, but endowed with its own personality and magic.

Dreamlike in sillage and longevity, this Eau de Toilette unfolds; how magnificent and impressive must the "Parfum Pure" then present itself?
A collection of rich fragrance gemstones that adorned the eighties with their opulence has been shaped here in a special form.
Almost lavishly, a fragrance progression develops that delights and crowns every appearance as a companion.
“Parfum Rare” needs no “red carpet”; this fragrance jewel shines from within!

It is almost impossible to get to know the variety of fragrance creations from this "Golden Era" over time.
For me, it is already a unique feeling in retrospect to have worn and enjoyed some of them in everyday life.
They still adorn today in undiminished beauty when given the right setting; for they are no longer everyday, rather precious.
Perhaps we should therefore take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves to us again to "dress up" and thus give the special a stage.
For me, the bottling of “Parfum Rare” is already in the starting blocks, and I thank Greenfan1701 for allowing me to wear this noble jewel.
