About Jacomo

Jacomo is a lesser-known but respected fragrance brand, founded in 1970 by American James Kaplan and Frenchman Gerard Courtin in New York City. The brand name "Jacomo" is a portmanteau of its founders' names. Initially opened as a store for leather goods and accessories, Jacomo quickly gained recognition for its unique approach to fragrance creation, launching its first perfume, Eau Cendrée, shortly after its establishment. This was followed by the iconic Silences in 1978, a floral green fragrance for women, and Jacomo de Jacomo for men in 1980, which became classics in the industry.

Jacomo is known for its artistic approach to perfumery, often incorporating modern art into its packaging and bottle designs. This creativity extends to their scents, which are crafted to evoke emotions and memories, blending classic fragrance notes with innovative elements. Despite its niche market, Jacomo has a loyal following, appreciated for its dedication to quality, artistic expression, and olfactory innovation.

While not as widely recognized as major luxury brands, Jacomo has maintained a solid reputation in the fragrance industry for its distinctive scents and artistic presentation. Based in France, Jacomo continues to produce fragrances that appeal to those seeking unique, sophisticated, and artistically inspired scents, contributing to its cult status among fragrance connoisseurs.
