Very good review by Flannelman - all the points covered. I like this scent...I wished it lasted longer, but I guess that is where you have to give it up to the "Zippo" flacon as a trade-off. Jacomo Rouge is not ground-breaking, but it takes the better parts of other orientals and puts enough notes that are not gourmand to make it a very good composition. For people who like Le Male and don't want to smell just like it, or for people who like a lot of what Xeryus Rouge, Joop! Homme, and Body Kouros have to offer but want to save a little and get a similar scent - I highly recommend this. I actually feel that the quality is very good. Sweet and clean - a very nice uplifting scent. Nicely done with great packaging...7/10 and a recommendation to buy. I think far better than the burning rubber/ashtray scent of Jacomo de Jacomo (which, ironically, only has appeal in the drydown while this is lacking a solid drydown and longevity).

This is a nice soothing perfume with opening little bit similar to Le Male but i think its totally different scent altogether.It is not as strong and sweet as Le Male but i find it better than Le Male.
Great sillage
Longevity: average to good.
I like it a lot and its much better for the price you get it at.

Yeah, this really isn't like Le Male at all.

It's more like Xeryus Rouge, or (more distantly), Rochas Man, but not as sweet, and not as fruity as Xeryus Rouge. The chocolate-patchouli-amber-musk accord in this is great; an enjoyable oriental gourmand for a really good price. For me, it doesn't compare to vintage Xeryus Rouge, but it's still really good.

I think my nose is bad because I felt like a male with the le

Alright, I got this today and I will try to give accurate review, but there is issue. I live in hot climate where temp get over 100° fahrenheit. So I order this in mail and it come in, sit at my front door in the hot sun as I was out in town, so maybe bottle got overheated, but anyhow here is what I think of it, assuming it isn't damaged.

So the smell reminds me exactly of Body Heat by Parfums de Coeur. It is a cheap drugstore kind that can be purchased at same price as this. Although, this smell better quality. The lasting power isnt bad, as it stays on me up to like 5 or 6 hours. The smell is spicy and sweet, smells kinda like cake with...spice on it. I been to a store in america where they sell another that smell like this, I think it was Holister or something like that. So I believe it is a generic kind of smell but not too bad. Still unique enough. Good smell!

Just to add, after many hours on my skin, it smells bad, like a cardboard box...just not for my skin chemistry.

It's a better version of Le Male and really a must buy for anyone that even remotely likes cinnamon and vanilla. I'd go so far to say that this reminds me of Invasion Barbare, and something to tide you over until you can save up the money.

Lovely sweet & balmy perfume. Due to its sweetness and softness, it can be easily worn by women, so it is a great unisex fragrance for fall and winter time. The mint and citrus note disappear in a split second and then only the warm notes settle in. I love to spray it on my skin and the shoals I am wearing- it smells so comforting!Its longevity is decent and I get the impression that I already know this scent, it is similar to something I either encountered or used some time ago.After some consideration, I have found that Jacomo Rouge is similar to Karl Lagerfeld Kapsule Woody. I love both of them, but Jacomo seems less chemical than KL, so at the price they offer it, you just can't lose. Also, it resembles Xeryus Rouge a lot. I love the bottle as well, with the cigarette lighter mechanism. Masculine bottle, but the contents is for sweet perfume lovers of both sexes. Just ignore the labels and indulge in a fragrance that pleases your senses.
UPDATE: Even on warmer days it works impeccably.

A mild mixture of le male and armanicode.
great sillage and lasting 8 hours plus.

I saw this at a perfume store here in Western Australia. I tried it alongside the original Jacomo de Jacomo and was more impressed by the Rouge. It was on sale for $69.95 ('reduced' by $20).

I went on ebay a few days later and won it for a little over $7 (I love ebay). After reading reviews here I tried it alongside Xeryus Rouge and Body Kouros, both of which I own. It had been likened to both of the other fragrances and I wanted to see how accurate the comparisons were. What I found was that
(a little) Xeryus Rouge + (a lot of)Body Kouros = Jacomo Rouge (or at least pretty close). Jacomo has the fruitiness of Xeryus and the incensy sweetness of Body Kouros. It starts with sweet citrus mixed with a menthol-like note, which must be the mint. It doesn't come across like mint to me: it just adds a camphorous/menthol accord, which is good, as any stronger would have spoiled it.

After an hour on the wrist it is definitely stronger than the Body Kouros, and frankly, is superior to it in my opinion. The vanilla, musk, incense and patchouli all work in harmony towards the end of the fragrance's life: sweetness is balanced with the patchouli really well, making sure that it ages gracefully.

Smells like a classier version of le male.

Very nice incense drydown.

Oooh yes! It does smell similar to Le Male and Body Kouros, but Jacomo Rouge is less expensive and easier to wear. It starts out a bit like a herbal medicine which may not please everyone. I am not so sure about honeysuckle either because I never liked it but luckily it doesn't come forward much. It is also nice to have some sweet vanilla throughout the scent with a pinch of spices. Overall, I don't mind the scent. I just have to be in the mood for it because it has a good and not so good moments all in a one, and it lasts all day.

like a week version of Xeryus Rouge mixed with Joop Homme. Lasting ability is very weak on the down dry.

I can say Jacomo rouge is the son of Le Male, the cousin of 212 sexy and a relative to body korous .... it is less cloying than all of them but still a sweet fragrance that women find it delecious on men ....by the way i dont find much relation between jacomo rouge and xeryus rouge IMO.... XR is more fruity and the peminto plays a big role there .... i prefer XR over JR indeed.

Beautiful scent. BUT, in reality it's a "tamed" version of Body Kouros. Compare the 2 of them and you'll understand what i'm talking about!

Part of the histerically femenine loudmouth and very sweet ones for men, in this case with the favourable aspect which is its drydown. The point in case is that you might have to wait for a long time for it to evolve in a positive way: mid and base notes are vanillic but with some spices as the ones found in the original Jacomo de Jacomo. This makes me feel comfortable wearing this version of Jacomo de Jacomo.

These very sweet scents are not my kind of fragrances - I do not have any trouble wearing femenine perfumes, but I can not deny I feel some notes as characteristically femenine - due to its androginic, transvestite and/or party-lover club character, but Jacomo de Jacomo Rouge is not to the extent of the cloyness and obverpowery ones like Le Male, A*Men and its followers.

the vanilla-incense combination is pretty proeminent on the drydown. Not a bad frag at all.

it can be easily worn by women .I love it!Sweet ,deep ,sexy smell.It reminds me a LOT of Versus Donna...
The lasting power is unbelievable

idk? i love it, and its a close cousin to jean-paul and i like anything that smells like that

Interesting: a more gourmand Xeryus Rouge at a very good price. It is very sexy and a little younger than XR, without being kitschy. I want it too.

Jacomo Rouge is an understated — and perhaps a little underappreciated? — oriental with a few light twists. The first of those, which I find quite enjoyable, is the green mint top note. Subtely done (nobody wants to smell like toothpaste) and nicely coupled with cardamom. The second twist is the sweetness, of which I am not usually a fan. But this is not an overpowering sweetness, and somehow I find it gives the fragrance a light gourmand touch. The overall feeling of the middle and base notes is warm, slightly powdery with a good mix of vanilla, nicely balanced incense, patchouli and sandalwood. Lily of the valley notes bring yet again a bit of lightness to the blend. I always think of Rouge as a fun, "feel good" scent. It has an uplifting, comforting quality, which it achieves without trying. The sillage is reasonably good but longevity is weak, a few hours maximum. Still, for the price I'd say Rouge is a bargain and since getting it a few weeks ago I find that I am returning to it very often.

This one is oriental, alright. But I found the opening is quite lemoney fresh with a hint of lily-of-the-valley sweetness. It has a airy incense-oriental feel at the base notes. I like the soft sandalwood blended with musk and a slash of vanilla. It's a treat, and the very yummy one!(It last round 6-7 hours on me.)

Strong vanilla/citrus opening but drydown is weak IMO.

I find it to be a softer, cologne-strength version of A*Men. I really like it, since A*Men can be overpowering in many occasions, but it must be re-applied almost every couple of hours in order for it to have a lasting presence.

Really great.
