The classics remain so because we keep returning to them.
Marlon Brando in The Wild One, for example. You look at that iconic photograph of him on the Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle and right away you can smell the black leather jacket, the tobacco lingering in the air.
Originally launched in 1980, Jacomo de Jacomo recalls a time when men like Brando and Bogart let their presence speak loudest.

Intensely masculine and sensual, Jacomo de Jacomo is as dark as a moonless night, redolent of smoke and burning wood. Think bikers around a fire, quaffing from silver flasks. A hint of clove hangs in the air, mixed with the smell of Gauloises cigarettes.
Founded in the late Sixties by an American art collector and a French pianist, the Jacomo boutique in New York was a haven for aficionados of fashion and luxury. Jacomo de Jacomo, the house’s fourth fragrance, became one of the top ten fragrances of the 1980s.

A graceful and elegant dry down has long been a signature of Jacomo fragrances. Jacomo de Jacomo opens like a lavender smudge stick that burns like rubber: slow and steamy. It’s the dead of winter in an oil-stained woodshop where a cinnamon stick atop a cedar wood-burning stove simmers – and simmers.
Jacomo de Jacomo is for that iconoclastic rebel that beats within you still.
