I really like the smokiness of this. The incense dry-down is great. I always get compliments on and my GF once said I smelled too good to be leaving the house...

Review by bonzo
woody,aromatic and spicy scent.Strong,long lasting and dark fragrance.Powerful,complex opening -the drydown pleasant but still vibrant and energetic.Typical masculine scnet of the 80ties.It´s a unique scent with a high recall value.I personally dislike the persistent smoky and incense smell. Beside all criticism this is a very particular and interesting scent, maybe a bit dated and linear (it opens the same as it ends and you smell all the time this smoky incense note) but in comparison to all the simple, silly and sober light marine -aquatic unisex stuff launched today ( so often I am imaging myself some nerds and muppets standing in a pea-soup designing all this trash making the fool of themselves and ourselves !) Jacomo is still a singular statement ! ( 31 years on the market!).Good work!

green, dark, cloves, lavender, large-scale I do not think aggressive, amber, moss and vanilla soothe the black knight obscure, interesting, confusing? want to feel that everyone feels this aggression but he only Demonstrate the top notes then ride to calm his horse, wearing his dark a quiet dark knight.

I wonder if this has been reformulated. The base seems really "synthetic" to me, compared to the strong oakmoss base of another inexpensive fragrance, 273 for Men. Anyway, I think I'd buy a bottle of this fragrance is it smelled more natural to me. As it stands, because I already have 273 and don't need the strong clove of JdJ, I don't see any need for it. So, unless you know you are getting a bottle from the 1980s, I suggest samplinng 273 first, and if you think you'd rather have a similar fragrance but with strong a spice note (and you don't mind it if it's a little "synthetic"), go ahead and give JdJ a chance. My original review, from August, 2008: I agree with Foetidus fully. The clove is too much for me, and this is simply not the best "cheapo" of this type. I prefer Carven Homme, for example, though if you hate rosewood you should avoid CH. Longevity isn't great for JdJ and it's quite tame after about 45 minutes, so I'm not sure who this will appeal to, because those who like the strong clove won't like the timid drydown, while those who do like the drydown won't want to wait 45 minutes of strong clove before getting to that drydown.

They still make this? Why yes, yes they do! Dark and rough around the edges, kind of like that black leather motorcycle jacket you've had buried in your closet for the past 15 years. Plenty of cloves, oak moss and musk to prove that you're still a man, this is not for the faint of heart. Cinnamon & patchouli give JdJ some depth between the heavy cloves and the animalic musk. Not for every man but surely a guilty pleasure to wear and enjoy for the informed few.

Bloody marvellous! A clove laden and woody bouquet whose dry resonance always reminds me of solid mahogany batons being banged together musically. Not macho, just utterly masculine, this is simply the most masculine scent I can think of and the one that I use whenever I want to feel irresistible. Highly distinctive with good sillage, and can usually be found at a great price. Best suited to cool weather, and unlike the wimpy releases of recent years this classic fragrance has the potential to polarise opinions. Despite some longevity issues (4-5 hours tops), this will always be in my top-5 fragrances, and we also have the equally impressive Rouge from the same house.

This smoke bomb is da bomb!
SMOKE, SMOKE, AND MORE SMOKE. It's like the campfire at a camp for French couture designers. Have to be in the mood for this...only in the cool to cold months. It's not an everyday kind of thing and a little goes a long way. A bottle will last you forever. It's a sexy, furry, cozy kind of thing...like making out with Paul Bunyan or the guy from the Brawny paper towel label. If Tom of Finland came out with a fragrance, this is what it would (should) smell like. But it's kinda classy at the same time. That was the 70's though, wasn't it? Kinda dirty and classy at the same time.
By the way...who is "Jacomo"? Is he a person? Wasn't he DEVO's side-kick?

I like it, however fleeting it is. The clove - dominant top notes makes it quite attractive for me, albeit the analogy to insect repellent as mentioned by other reviewers- blame it on weird tastes if you like. From then on the Jacomo leads to musky notes with the prevalence of the same spicy accords mentioned before.
I ask myself how this one made it after so many years for J's style is at odds regarding the overly sweet blends in style today. As I said, longevity is limited, but the initial sillage is quite strong. A good choice for week-end wearing.
