When chance works (a little too) well
In the early 60s, an unexpected encounter takes place in New York. Gérard Courtin, an artist and craftsman passionate about the world of perfume, meets James Kaplan. The latter confides in him his love for the arts in general: music, painting, fashion... The two men then decide to join forces to create a perfume brand that resembles them: Jacomo. In 1970, from its very first year of creation, the brand experiences great success. The first perfume, Eau Cendré, delights with its scent and the appearance of its container. This fragrance, reserved for men, will be closely followed by the perfume Chicane, intended for women. Since the late 90s, Jacomo has joined the Sarbec Cosmetics group, the first independent French family cosmetics group. Even today, the brand remains faithful to its original values: passion, quality, and authenticity.
