Sergio Tacchini (1987)
by Sergio Tacchini

A decent sharp, green, sportive fragrance full of dignity which combines, in a full of experience way, citrusy, green, woodsy and soapy elements. The diverse notes are combined in a perfect balance. The beginning is hard with a blast of citrus and lime, than the smell slides towards a woody and soft green base thanks to sandalwood, musks, styrax and a touch of amber. Refreshing   and clean this is silently good for work and free time around in the nature. The longevity is surprising. Orrible bottle.

simply wonderful. Difficult to find the right words, but this one is perfectly fresh without being neither green or oceanic, the juxtaposition between sandalwood and styrax on one side and cedar and lime is a masterpiece.
After 15 years having considered it good, I keep on the same opinon. Which is not the case for most of the perfumes around. It is definively a CLASSIC. EXCELLENT QUALITY AND MATERIALS TOO.

Great scent! I've tried it for first time in 1990 and it seemed very heavy. But in 1999 I've bought my first bottle and I discovered a clean, fresh, soapy and dry scent. It's atemporal and very pleasant in raining days. ST isn't very popular here in Argentina and this condition adds another advantage.
I really don't know if it's still in production. Last year I went to Italy and it wasn't in shops, you can get it by internet sales.

Take one part Gucci Nobile, one part Ho Hang on steroids, and one part vintage Bel Ami, put them all together, and you have an idea of what Sergio Tacchini smells like. This is excellent! I find this scent to be extremely spicy, woody and bold, but never heavy or sweet. I really believe there are a lot more notes in this than the pyramid reveals, and I believe them to be oakmoss and patchouli. ST has a very green mossy smell underneath all the spice, which reminds me of Gucci Nobile, and the sandalwood and what I believe is patchoui make the whole scent smell spicy green. This is bold stuff, but it has mild sillage, and this gives the fragrance a bit of class.

This is the perfect fragrance to wear if you want to exude old-world Mediterranean masculinity. Outstanding work!

MY RATING: 9.5/10

I can't quite put my finger on it. It's citrusy... but also green... but also soapy... but also woodsy? It's all of the above. Mostly it's a green soapy fragrance. It's strong and long lasting.

Very sharp. A fine choice if you’re about to, or already played a 5hr tennis match. Otherwise can be a bit much for the senses. Classy? No. Good quality? Yes, it does what it’s supposed to do. Not enough for me, but to some can be a very nice option. Longevity is very, very good.
