Is Jacomo de Jacomo suitable for office wear?+−
Generally, no. Its heavy smoky and animalic profile is better suited for evening wear, leisure, or a night out. The pungent clove and oakmoss notes can be quite polarizing in a professional, enclosed environment.
How does the current version compare to the original 1980s bottles?+−
Long-time fans often prefer the vintage bottles for their superior depth and "beast-mode" performance. The current version is still considered a good fragrance for the price, but it is perceived as thinner and less smoky than the original.
What seasons are best for wearing this?+−
This fragrance performs best in the fall and winter. The dry, spicy heat of the cinnamon and cloves provides a warming effect that cuts through the cold, whereas summer heat can make the earthy patchouli feel oppressive.
Is this a unisex fragrance?+−
While anyone can wear what they enjoy, Jacomo de Jacomo is designed as a quintessentially masculine scent. Its lack of floral sweetness and heavy emphasis on smoke, spice, and leather place it firmly in the traditional "men's" category.
