In the world of perfumery, some fragrances become milestones, and Jacomo Silences, released in 1978, is one such cult release.
This women's perfume, known in Russia as "Silences," embodies elegance and freshness that captivated connoisseurs even in the disco era.
Born from the creative union of American businessman James Kaplan and French pianist Gérard Courtin, the Jacomo brand has always been known for its unconventional approach, and Silences is a vivid example, combining boldness and refinement.
The fragrance belongs to the Green and Chypre families, which immediately sets the expectation for freshness and depth.
Its note groups include Green, Floral, Woody, and Earthy/Mossy chords, creating a multifaceted composition.
As Daytime Perfume, it is ideal for daily wear, offering lightness and confidence throughout the day.
Unfolding on the skin, Jacomo Silences offers a journey from green coolness to floral tenderness and woody coziness.
Top notes such as Black Currant and Galbanum create an invigorating start that gradually softens in the heart thanks to Hyacinth and Iris.
In the base, Cedar and Sandalwood add warm overtones, making the fragrance long-lasting and enveloping.
Positioned as Female, Jacomo Silences has Low Sillage, making it perfect for the office or a date—it is unobtrusive but memorable.
It is recommended to apply it to pulse points such as wrists and neck to reveal all facets; for clothing, 1-2 sprays can be used to maintain freshness longer.
Although no alternative concentrations have been released, its uniqueness lies in remaining true to its original concept.
If you like Jacomo Silences, it is worth paying attention to similar fragrances, such as Chanel No. 19 with its green elegance, Guy Laroche Fidji for floral notes, and Robert Piguet Fracas Eau de Parfum with a more intense character.
Each offers its own variations on the theme of green and chypre, expanding the perfumery horizon.
The influence of Jacomo Silences on the Jacomo brand cannot be overstated—it strengthened the house's reputation as a creator of bold and modern fragrances that stand the test of time.
Today, this perfume continues to inspire new generations, remaining a symbol of style and sophistication.

In the heart of the composition, floral motifs bloom: Hyacinth and Iris add a powdery softness, while Jasmine and Lily of the valley bring freshness and lightness.
The base concludes the journey with warm and earthy notes: Cedar and Sandalwood provide woody depth, while Moss and Musk add velvety longevity, creating a harmonious and memorable finale.
