Sergio Tacchini Uomo

Attention excellent fragrance with many facets. A real olfactory trip rich in discovery! Phase 1; A very fresh tonic start, almost fruity recalling a bit Chrome United. Phase two; Discovery of the woody notes recalling a bit of Ferrari's excellent Scuderia red. Phase three; The mystery got accentuated with the introduction of aromatic notes including gorgeous lavender. Phase Four; The man in leather returns on stage recalling some notes of Christian Dior's Fahrenheit in a much lighter & softer way. Veru sensual almost erotic. Even better, those awsemone notes will stay till the end. Fragrance: 10/10 projection: 7/10. Longitivity: excellent (more than 36 hours on my t-shirt.) Conclusion: I very much love it. One of the rare fragrances I intend to wear this summer as well al all other seasons on different occasions. I have always been ignoring the Tacchini fragrances but I found out I was wrong. I recently fell in love with Club and its Monte Carlo version. Now this fantastic Uomo: I will keep an eye on this Sergio :-) The lesson I had, not being sporty or liking the clothes is no reason not to love a designer's fragrances. Especially if he is Italian:-)

TO THE GENIUSES WHO DON'T LOOK AT DETAILS: There are two different versions made nine years apart in different bottles. The reviews here should be for the one pictured, not the square bottle with six sides. Having said that, I find the "it's Coolwater without the marine notes" from Odysseash to be pretty apt. It also smells like a clean tennis ball or new shoe with citrus notes in a way lol. It smells very clean and comforting. Good for daily wear, especially at the price. Just two or three sprays gives moderate silliage for 3-4 hours on me. I can't pick out the notes because this is so well blended. It has the 90s player feel that I get from R de Revillion, Insatiable by Cardin, or Gucci Nobile. They all smell different, but have that "90s player" smell, imo. That very cool, well blended, youthful--but not teenage crap-- smell. Smell 8/10

Like most of the reviewers here, I also write my review about the old square bottle. I used to have one about 20-25 years ago and recently came across a bottle in a small frag shop in Houston. They had only one dusty bottle that they couldn't sell for years and gave me a very good discount. And it's still the same perfect smell I had back in the 90s. You can see the notes in the product description so I will not get in to that. If you come across an old bottle, not the Uomo version, dont miss it. In Amazon they sell it for around 80$, I paid 44$. I also own a Creed Aventus, and I can easily say this can rival Aventus as a summer frag (if not better). Well you can at least be sure that you're probably the only one wearing this within a 50 mile radius.

A perfect example of how "cheap" can smell divine. By cheap I mean price, as this is the least costly of what I own. I think I paid $ 20 retail in the store for a 32 ml? 32 ml....cool.. It's so very fresh, clean, and smells oh so good. Woody, soapy, citrus delight. Had this been Frederic Malle, Diptyque, Byredo, or any other niche brand, it would probably be considered a superb masterpiece worth the $ 500 price tag. Although not many people have voted on this, you can see the love this one gets, even on Basenotes. You should definitely try it out. Amazing. Very highly recommended. I have the hexagonal (6 sided) bottle with the grey cap, and not the one pictured here.

First I though this was once again some cheap and synthetic sportswear fragrance, but damn I was wrong! Price is very cheap - 100ml only for 20€. Smells very fresh and so good - maybe little bit nostalgic. Very good choise for office where IMO everybody else smells like JPG LeMale, Boss bottled or something else with vanilla. Great summertime scent with OK performance: with 2 sprays longevity is about 8 hours but sillage is very soft. 9/10
