Description
The famous chypre – green perfume Silences by Jacomo was originally launched in 1978. Its reissue appeared in 2004 and in 2012 it is offered as newly reinterpreted Jacomo Silences Eau de Parfum Sublime. This new Silences is developed by perfumer Serge Majoullier of Mane.
The fragrance retains its ladylike green, floral and woody character on powdery background. It is fresh, sophisticated and modern. The top notes are green galbanum, blackcurrant bud and aldehydes, with a trace of pear accord. The heart features a flower trio – Damask rose, iris from Morocco and narcissus. The base is woody and musky.
The bottle retains the original round shape and black color, with the font characters on it changed and modernized. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml EDP.

Great scent modern version of silence which I loved, same vibes yet fresher and more discreet and definitely more modern and less chypre… Great identity not generic and different from all sweety gourmand mainstream perfumes out there …

Does anybody can describe the difference in SCENT between Silences EDT and Silences Eau de parfum Sublime? That would be great.
Edit.
Months later. Okay guys, I found something that may be interesting for Silence lovers who asked themselves the same question like I did. Attention!
‘The original Silences was released in 1978. It was a grand green floral with a heart of springtime flowers wrapped in rich rose and jasmine layered over a woody musky base dripping with vetiver and oak moss. Eau de Parfum Sublime (created by Serge Majoullier of Mane) kept the slightly bitter and resinous galbanum and cassia opening and removed the orange blossoms and tart citric notes, while adding a crisp and fruity pear accord. The original (incredulously enough) did not have a lot of aldehydes, but the modern one does…and they are glorious.
The green in this creeps around you like a cloud of soft whispers and expands to a sillage that is noticeable, yet classy, and never gets obnoxious. The body of this scent is unabashedly floral. The cool green of iris and the sharp edges of narcissus are relaxed with lily-of-the-valley and a powdery rose. Gone are the creamy jasmine and the fruity hyacinth, but the remaining notes are blended in such a way that you do not miss them. The delightful trail left by this is still very grassy (thanks to vetiver) and mossy, yet not as strange or distinct as the original was. Vague woody notes linger in the background giving this a gentle strength. This is one of (if not THE) best reformulation I have sniffed! Vintage aura, gorgeous green floral notes and a subtle, yet tenacious, drydown: extremely well done. Sublime is a very apropos title for this particular flanker. Sillage: good. Longevity: very good.’
Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?

Although Fragrantica doesn’t have pyramid of Ellipse J. Fath my nose distinguishes familiar notes. I was looking something to substitute Ellipse, which was discontinued long time ago and this is the ONE! Magic, enchantment, miracle. Try it yourself.

I’m sooooooo found of this one ! Thank you so much plumbloosom for the sample !!!! It’s fantastic !!!!
As far as i remember no one in my family circle has worn this , despite this , this perfume is a strangest reminiscence for me . Don’t know who , where or exactly when , but is so oddly familiar , maybe a pre school teacher has worn the 1978 original ?
Anyways , i want it so badly now !
It is very green , yet so feminine and despite the Aldehyde note it’s not that soapy , not in the usual Aldehydic way .
It’s mature , really not sweet at all . Really on the late 70’s way . Definitely deserves to be more famous . Not hype at all , better try it before buying if you’re in the sweetie/girly !
