Jacomo Cologne for Men
The company developed its first fragrance line in 1970, a masculine scent called Eau Cendree, closely followed by a feminine counterpart called Chicane. They remained a reasonably small business throughout the seventies, catering primarily to an elite New York clientele
The brand became more widely recognized in 1980 when it released Jacomo de Jacomo, a crisp men’s scent featuring florals, sandalwood and patchouli. The fragrance came on the heels of its 1978 women’s counterpart, the powdery floral Silences, but quickly outshone it, becoming the best selling fragrance for Jacomo at the height of its initial success. In the next decade the company experienced a lull, launching only Parfum Rare in 1985 and its relook, Coeur de Parfum, in 1987.
In 1991 they perked the industry’s interest again with its release of the very first duo fragrance, breaking the tradition of releasing men and women’s paired fragrances a year or two apart. The line, called Anthracite, featured a musky, fruit and floral women’s scent (Anthracite pour femme) and a fresh rose and clove-based men’s scent (Anthracite pour homme). It was launched as a “couples scent” with the sales pitch, “they are made for each other, but can live one without the other.” The brand continued to gain strength throughout the nineties, releasing Ambro and Perle de Silences in 1996 and the highly successful Paradox for women in 1998, closely followed by the suede-based scent of Paradox for men in 1999. 2000 saw the release of another duo scent, Aura, and in 2002 the brand celebrated its successful reinvention of itself with a reincarnation of its most popular scents, Jacomo de Jacomo, relaunched simultaneously with the new Jacomo de Jacomo Rouge.

Review of Jacomo Silver by Tootsie
Jacomo for Men (Jacomo Silver) is a really unique spicy masculine scent, with notes of pimento, ginger, pepper,and a touch of dried plum and pineapple. As it wears on, you smell some vetiver and tonka bean and amber. Minimal sweetness makes it stand out from most of the current mass market designer these days. Refined, complex and mature for sure, but does not smell like an old man. Excellent longevity too. To me, this scent evokes confidence and power, especially early on. For those who want to smell like a man and not a fresh fruit salad. I consider this best for evenings, cold weather and at least semi-formal attire. No more than 1-2 sprays, it is powerful. Original and a superb deal. This one has it all.

Review of Jacomo by Tootsie
When I first smelled this I knew it that reminded me of another cologne. Then it hit me, it had that some of the Lagerfeld vibe going on. However, this blows away Lagerfeld. It is much more refined, complex and not nearly as in-your-face. Nor does it smell like an old man, as Lagerfeld kind of does. Excellent longevity too. A really nice sort of clean and peppery masculine scent, with just a touch of the powdery barbershop appeal. Minimal sweetness makes it stand out from most of the current mass market designer these days.

Review of Silences by Mia
When it comes to perfumes, Silences Perfume for Women by Jacomo is timeless, delicate on the senses. But íts delicacy does not diminish, it's strong. I admire its fresh cut top notes, but it's the base that I cannot help waiting for every time I wear it. It has this soothing and calming effect that seems to linger on your body, clothes and even in your brain. I'm in my twenties and I'm telling you "This one truly sets you apart from the crowd".
