When we were very young, we would pore over our mother’s college yearbooks, flipping through the pages, staring at the young women in white dresses, corsages on their wrists. So many sorority girls in the spring of their lives, heading off to a dance with their handsome beaux.
If your mother is eternally young at heart, still the young woman dressing for a homecoming weekend, still waving from the float, then it’s likely that she’ll be immediately entranced by It’s Me, Jacomo’s latest fragrance for women.
Youthful and effervescent, It’s Me is packaged in a spray bottle that evokes a smartphone, which means the fragrance fits into even the most discreet minaudière.

A burst of pineapple and orange citrus opens the fragrance like a 1960s dessert served at the Waldorf-Astoria. Bright fruit notes blend into a heart note marked by freesia and lily of the valley, recalling a nosegay that your mother might have worn to the ball.
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, which was launched in 1980, went on to become one of the top ten fragrances of the decade.

One of the signatures of Jacomo fragrances has been a graceful and elegant dry down. It’s Me has basenotes of iris powder and sandalwood, which linger on the wrist as hauntingly evocative as a trace of lipstick on a flute of Champagne.
Give your mother a gift of It’s Me – and return her to that rush of romance that marked her sorority days.
