AURA by Jacomo for Men

Aura Cologne by Jacomo, Released in 2000, Aura is a men’s woody spicy cologne that was signed by French perfumer Henri Bergia.

The fragrance, which has moderate longevity and sillage, has aromatic, fresh spicy, and woody main accords. Housed in a green square bottle, which is encased in a larger clear square container, this scent wears well on spring and summer days. Lemon and ginger combine with sage and juniper in the top notes. Green tea, tobacco, and tonka bean combine with cinnamon and nutmeg for the middle notes. Sandalwood and patchouli blend with cedar, patchouli, and musk in the base notes.

Jacomo is a fashion label founded by James Kaplan and Gerard Courtin in 1970, when they opened their first boutique in New York City and launched their first fragrance. Courtin opened a workshop in Paris, France, a few years later and the brand built a factory in Deauville for fragrance and cosmetics production in 1983. Sarbec Cosmetics acquired Jacomo in 1995 and continues creating and launching new fragrances for the brand.
