Jacomo Parfum Rare

Jacomo Parfum Rare was released in 1987 , yet hearkens back twenty years , reminding me on first application of  Estee Lauder Private Collection . Thick and green , powdery and spicy with grassy green vetiver very prominent .Though I'm not crazy about vetiver , this is blended so masterfully with rosewood and jasmine it is lovely . As this opening phase relaxes the sandalwood comes forward and dances with the orris , reminding me of Chanel Bois des Isles . Another phase passes and the labdanum heavy chypre base plays it's famous chord accompanied by warm golden amber notes . Very unusual , interesting and chic . A wonderful addition to my collection !
