me gustaria que me dijeras donde la encuentras gracias
Very natural, powdery/fruity rose fragrance with subtle wood in the base. Also, though not listed, there is something I perceive as "mossy." This is definitely not like the "girly" fruity/floral/powdery fragrances of recent years, though there is no animalic note. I got the women's version by mistake, since it looks more masculine than the men's version bottle! If anyone wants to swap, just send me a message. I'm also Bigsly on basenotes, and you can see how much feedback I have there (all positive). I have a 50 ml bottle that's around 95% full, with cap and box. I will only swap for something of about the same value.
I have been waiting for years to find this at a good price on ebay, and finally it has arrived! (Cheap because of a damaged box....who cares?!) I read somewhere a long time ago that it was similar to Jicky, but IMO nothing is similar to Jicky and neither is this.
This is a very well blended perfume, and in my opinion all those floral notes don't actually come across as "sweet floral" but more "woody grassy floral" if there was such a category. It is very tenacious too, I put it on this morning to try but have since had a shower & I can still smell it, and YES I DID have a good wash!
The most obvious notes I get from it are bergamot, orris and orange blossom, and then the base notes arrive quite quickly. The jasmine amd vanilla are nowhere to be found, which is fine by me. This is every bit as lovely as I always hoped it would be, a successful blind buy. If you have been umming and aahhing about trying it - go ahead, there is nothing to be worried about - it's wonderful. 9.75/10.
If you haven't tried any Jacomo scents yet, I encourage you to give this house a try. I've liked all that I've tried so far and can't wait to try the rest. They're very high-quality but very affordable, with scents available in almost every fragrance category
I tracked down some Anthracite after reading good things about it another website. It is discontinued and a little hard to find, but it is still available on ebay and a few websites.
I think Anthracite is probably better suited for cooler weather. I couldn't wait and have given it a couple tries this summer anyway. It's a warm floral oriental with many layers. Spicy fruits yield to warm florals, and the dry-down (the best part of all Jacomo scents) is amazing. Warm, sexy, cuddly, cozy. Sweet but not candy-like. The vanilla and benzoin are nicely balanced by dry, grassy vetiver and woody notes.
The scent lingers for hours, surviving through a shower after a hot, sweaty day.
If you enjoy Feminite du Bois or Calvin Klein Euphoria, you'll probably enjoy this one. Anthracite is complex, unusual and remarkably well-done. I look forward to wearing this one in autumn and winter.
I had a vial of this and gave to my great love Chat. Luca Turin praised it as a masterpiece, and I would love to have a big bottle. But I never see it nowhere..
