Anthracite by Jacomo is a complex oriental floral fragrance launched in 1990. It balances green notes like hyacinth and basil against a dense base of vanilla, benzoin, and amber. This scent feels mysterious and dark, suited for cooler weather when you want a fragrance that feels like an enchanted forest.
