Domenico Caraceni is a legendary name. In the illustrious history of Italian tailoring no one else has ever had the prestige, the glory and the fame of this great Maestro. And no one else will probably ever have in the future. Domenico Caraceni started his activity in Rome in 1913. Success was immediate. New ateliers were opened in Milan and Paris during the 1930s and the Caraceni brand conquered the European and American high fashions market. Caracenis classic suits were made one at a time, by hand, to a pattern specifically drawn for each individual customer. And this world renowned label dressed even several generations of Kings in Italy. Other celebrities that later wore Caracenis beautiful creations were Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grand and, recently, the Prince of Wales, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Prince Rainier of Monaco.
When the company decided to introduce their own perfumery line, expectations were clearly very high. And it was an incredible success, with a full range of top shelf products that really did not disappoint. The item that had the greatest appreciation in Italy was certainly the cologne, a truly unique signature fragrance that is, still today, a best seller among top quality, sought after perfumes. And its also my absolute favourite. This gem comes housed in a very fine, elegant, classic 100 ml glass bottle and is packed in a simple, nice, traditional cardboard box. It costs, here in Rome, around 70, which I consider a good price for such an exclusive, top notch product. The 1913 is, as just stated above, a unique fragrance. And its also unconventional. Its scent is, in fact, of rose and rose scents are generally associated with womens perfumes. Not this time. This rose is different, totally masculine, totally superior, totally sublime. It develops hints of tobacco, geranium and incense. It is an outstanding cologne with a superb staying power. It is the highest expression of true refinement and timeless elegance. For perfect gentlemen, Domenico Caraceni 1913.
