Eau Cendree by Jacomo c1974

Eau Cendree by Jacomo: launched in 1974.  





Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fresh chypre fragrance for men. A blend of pepper, piment and cypress.

It begins with a fresh, herbaceous, spicy top punctuated with piment, followed by a dry, floral, spicy heart spiked with pepper, resting on a woody, mossy base of cypress.
  • Top notes: immortelle, mint, juniper, citron oil, bergamot, nutmeg, lemon oil, coriander, petitgrain, lavender, tarragon
  • Middle notes: marjoram, piment, green pepper, clary sage, carnation, cinnamon, geranium, cyclamen, orris, fern
  • Base notes: cypress, musk, amber, patchouli, vetiver, oakmoss, sandalwood, labdanum, tonka bean

Mademoiselle, 1979:
"Jacomo's Eau Cendree strikes me as similar to the trio above but spicier. It is a man's scent, worn by a number of French and American women as their sports fragrance."

Bottle:

In 1974, Eau Cendree retailed for $8 for 2 oz of Eau de Toilette Splash, $13 for 6 oz of Eau de Toilette Splash,  $12 for 4 oz of Eau de Toilette Spray, with a spray refill of $10.

Welcome!

This is not your average perfume blog. In each post, I present perfumes or companies as encyclopedic entries with as much facts and photos as I can add for easy reading and researching without all the extraneous fluff or puffery.

Please understand that this website is not affiliated with any of the perfume companies written about here, it is only a source of reference. I consider it a repository of vital information for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. Updates to posts are conducted whenever I find new information to add or to correct any errors.

One of the goals of this website is to show the present owners of the various perfumes and cologne brands that are featured here how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table, did you like the bottle design), who knows, perhaps someone from the company brand might see it.

Also, if you have any information not seen here, please comment and share with all of us.
