Sergio Tacchini

Wow! What a hidden gem this find was. It opens very, very, very nice. Like a strong YSL Jazz, but a little more suave. Then it throws a bit of a curve as it transitions into the drydown, where a greenish accord starts to emerge that smells like how coumarin is described : freshly mown grass/dried hay, and mixed with a vintage 1980's, Rogue Perfumery-esq oakmoss. It does throw vibes of the Rogue Perfumery vintage-like house DNA with oakmoss. I was at times getting a similarity with Bon Monsieur from Rogue Perfumery, which is reflected in the comparison frag Milano Cento Him listed above (I compare Bon Monsieur with Milano Cento Him), but with a little Rogue Perfumery Fougere L'Aube thrown in. The latter has hay and galbanum notes which may somewhat mirror the freshly mown grass, earthy accord of Tacchini. There are aromatic and spicy and maybe floral notes that are not represented in the note list above, and the Aromatic and Spicy accords should be placed higher on the accord stack represented at the top of this page. In fact, I found an alternative source that listed an alternative note structure that makes more sense: Top Notes: Lime, Bergamot, Clove, Rosemary Heart Notes: Lavender, Lemon Leaf, Lily of the Valley Base Notes: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vetiver. It is these Aromatic, Spicy, and Floral accords that really impart that suave je ne sais quoi in this scent, and are prominent. The lavender note helps to justify the comparisons to Fougeres. I can understand the comparison with Tom Ford Beau de Jour, which is a favorite of mine. But it's only a slight, glancing and superficial similarity as they are very different fragrances. This is a fantastic find! Update 7/26: I discovered another 1980's masculine 'sport' Cologne: Adidas Cologne from 1985. Adidas' first fragrance. Now discontinued, I found several bottles and acquired them. Same genre and vibe as Tacchini, but rate the hidden gem Adidas even higher!

This is a Gorgeous and a Lovely Aromatic - Fougere scent, A Hidden Gem ! UPLIFTING, Clean, Crisp, Soapy, Airy and Unique. It is very pleasant in raining days and I'm very impressed with this perfume, Easy to wear and makes me feel nice and fresh. It opens up with a bit sharp fresh spicy, soapy citrusy and green notes in the background then dry down is green and woody. Based on Sergio Tacchini Official Site , Top notes: Lime, Bergamot, Rosemary and Clove. Middle notes: Citron Leaves, Lilly of the Valley and Lavender. Base notes: Sandal, Vetiver and Patchouli. This review is based on the new reformulation and Special thanks to Scent Land on YouTube, l read positive comments then I bought it blind-buy. This is a very unique composition perfume with Italian Style and perfect for the spring, summer and fall. I really enjoy it and I love Sergio Tacchini EDT for Men. Longevity is very good, Highly Recommended. Two Thumbs Up. Bravo Sergio Tacchini ! Rating : 8.5 / 10

An overlooked gem even in its current form (imagine that!?), Sergio Tacchini has among the best quality/price ratio for a so-called cheapie (that term sounds needlessly pejorative). Citrus aldehydes and bergamot over a bed of powdery woods and grasses, and a curiously athletic rubbery feel, aptly summarizes this 80s sporty aromatic. There's a bit of a white floral feel in the heart as well. I haven't smelled older formulations so I cannot compare, but what I have here is a nifty wear. Dry, soapy, fresh, clean, just out of the shower goodness for the summertime; that's what this one is all about. Rumor has it you can even pick it up at TJMaxx in the states depending on where you are geographically.

I was fortunate to buy this when on holiday in Spain around 20 years ago. It is an astoundingly clean, soapy classic fragrance similar (but not the same) as Sung Homme and Jazz prestige but better than both. It lasts all day and projects well without causing annoyance. I collect and own hundreds of fragrances and this (along with) Hillfiger Athletic and Photo by Lagerfeld (now sadly long consigned to history) garners the most compliments from both women and men. I believe this has now stopped being produced and prices are on the up so do yourselves a favour and grab it while you can. If this had been produced by Tom Ford or Dior it would be labelled as a masterpiece.

This, at least to me, is a masterpiece, clean, fresh, can be worn with a suit or casually and this is the epitome of an 80's, 90's fragrance. This was, in my opinion the halcyon days of fragrance, unapologetically masculine but also delicate and nothing like the metrosexual, bastardised rubbish that are peddled today. This isn't a challenging wear and can still be picked up relatively cheaply. If you appreciate fragrances from the 80's and 90's ala Armani pour homme, Polo (original or Crest) etc you will enjoy this. If you like the overtly sweet bubblegum rubbish that is sold today you won't enjoy this.

Opens with citruses over a resinous styrax that will show animalic edges, and it's already a love at this stage. The the heart will unveil a beautiful vintage sandalwood note a-la Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur. The show will end with citruses (still), over a mossy note (with leathery edges), and a hint of cedar. Like a soft version of vintage Moustache. What a surprise to see that (quite basic) sportsbrand from the 90's issuing such a beauty. And most surprisingly, it kind of stand out from the many citrus/aromatics of that time (or at least ranks very well). A win in my book.

Picked this up for $20 from the drug mart. Bought it blind once I saw that user alphairone gave it praise. Him and I share the love for the same vintages it seems and he’s right about this one too. Just a classic man scent. Innovative? No. You’ll get hints of many fragrances from this era but so what, I can’t get enough of that era, especially now with all the sweet crap being churned out by everyone.

Excellent old-skool gym-friendly sporty freshie. Lovely zesty opening without too much nose-tickling powder. Creamy drydown with nice, kind of smooth, light, natural, non-burnt latex/rubber note, seemingly from the styrax. Performance not spectacular, but fine for a freshie. Dumb reach for daytime in spring, maybe autumn--and definitely summer too, at least when it's not too hot.

This scent reminds me so much of Beau de Jour without the mint note . It has almost the same longevity/projection (nearly 5-6h), the exception is that Tom Ford’s is slightly more long lasting and way more expensive. I do love ST just wish it projected more , maybe if I searched 🔍 for the vintage I’d get better performance than the one I own. Nice blind buy for $30 USD

Although not listed on here, I get “green” notes found commonly in men’s 80’s perfumery. Make no mistake, this smells like an 80’s fragrance in a good way. I have both modern formulation and vintage and get slightly better performance with the modern. Either way, projection is not that great, and longevity is about 6hrs. Overall, it is a good pickup.

Is it $140 now? Vow!! Now it's considered vintage I guess since they dont produce it anymore. 2 years ago I found this in a small frag shop in Houston and bought it off the guy for $45. I used to use this about 25 years ago. It brought me back to my youth. If you wear this, no-one will smell like you in a 50 mile radius. Good spicy old world citrus.

This is my all time favourite! I've had this fragrance since 1992, and will use it 'til I die. I think this is an unique fragrance. It doesn't smell like anything else. No fruits, except bergamot. This fragrance I can wear in any occasions, and in any season. In a t-shirt or a tuxedo.

This smells beautiful. This is definitely one of the best "sport themed" cologne ever. Juicy and acidic lime paired with rubbery styrax on a bed of soft woods. Oddly enough this smells like brand new sport shoes' soles... Or a pack of tennis balls freshly opened.

Smells fantastic, fresh, citrus and woody, amazing cheap. Performance above average for an edt. Got s giftpack of this one and a deodorant as christmas gift 25-26 years ago now recently bought another bottle. Quite unique to if you wear this Fragrance 5/5

A bone-dry, masculine Italian scent. It reminds me of the original Denim but softer. I had a mini bottle for a few years and finally went full sized with a 100 ml Morris version bottle I snagged for $25. Performance is average. Recommend.

Brings memories of wearing your dad's perfume as a kid going out in holiday, very 80s, linear take on fresh, simple and great. Sometimes that's all you need from a fragrance, and the price on this does not dissapoint.

A true masterpiece from the past 🏆❤️🇮🇹 one of the best sport fragrance of all the time ❤️ Even the current version is just amazing 👌 Forza Italia 🇮🇹

Citrus fougere, strong and long lasting, similar to Rive Gauche, Drakkar Noir, Zino... Amazing, one of the most underrated scents ever 💯

Very unique,masculine,warm and spicy!for winter/fall not for warm days.Lasts for ever!its amazing!For me, A FORGOTTEN TREASURE!!!

This scent is addictive af. Woods and citrus ...ol'skool style. Has class it last a long time, and is perfect for spring/summer.

Cheap, low quality bottle and cap. Great, quality fragrance inside. Very good longevity and sillage. A classic worth having.

the perfect YSL jazz prestige clone? no, it was released even before YSL jazz. for 19 euro at notino. a steal. 9/10

This is gorgeous. A woody and soapy fab perfume. Unique too. Lasts a long time. One of my favorites.

One of the best sport scent from the 80's 🏆 I love it ❤️ fantastic scent made in Italy 🇮🇹

Magnifisicent, manly perfume in a modern way but vintage style. A true man's scent.

* Unusual combo of sweet and aromatic fougere style colognes * Nice blend of sweet, lavender, oakmoss, woody, powder and citrus lime peel aromas * Gentler than other strong aromatic fougeres such as Paco Rabanne Pour Homme and Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui; good if you find aromatic fougeres too strong * Is from a different era and may bring up positive nostalgic associations * A good transition for older users into more modern sweet and fresh colognes * Average performance * Not as strong as other popular aromatic fougeres * Not good for younger users * Is from a different era and may bring up negative age-biased ssociations Sergio Tacchini is a rare old-school style of aromatic fougere cologne with a couple of nice twists to it. Take a classic such as Paco Rabanne Pour Homme and Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui. Nice lavender, oakmoss and woody aromas. Classic soapy fragrance. Now add some powder and lime peel and a light touch of sweetness and freshness. Now you've got Sergio Tacchini. Quite a nice changeup from your standard aromatic fougere. This is much gentler than most aromatic fougeres which is good if you find them too strong but bad if you like a strong performance. This is toned down and so is an average performer. A much bigger issue is that it was created in 1987 and is definitely of its era. On the one hand, it's a classic like Obsession, Eternity and other 80's fragrances. On the other, it can be considered outdated. This is definitely not for younger users. Even the twist of adding a touch of sweetness isn't enough, as it's nowhere near as sweet and fresh as younger leaning colognes such as the Invictus or 1 Million lines from Paco Rabanne, for example. The light touch of sweetness and freshness actually help make this aromatic fougere good for all seasons and occasions. It just touches the modern era of fragrances and would be a good transition for older users into a modern style while providing the comfort of an older classic style. This isn't good for younger users who are already used to sweet fresh colognes.

Another Italian cheapie! As noted by ferino5, this is a completely new formulation compared to the old fragrance, which I never smelled. It can be easily found online at discounters at ~10€ for a 50ml bottle or even less for the odd 27ml format. The eponimous Sergio Tacchini fragrance is a delicate, now unisex citrusy/aromatic scent with distinct white flower undertones (above all the lily of the valley is very much noticeable from the first spray), and supported in the drydown by a nice and bright cedar accord. The lavender provides that little bit of aromatic kick after the initial sparkling citrus accord recedes. I don't get much sweetness from the patchouli, and just a hint of woodiness. On my skin it lasts more than expected - a solid 6/7 hours, without much projection anyway. Overall it remids me a lot of the original Fresh & Clean wet wipes which I absolutely adored as a child - it's a trip down memory lane for me. For the price there is really little to complaint about. If you happen to find one somewhere, grab the 27ml travel size and keep it in the bag. Inoffensive, good smelling and practical. Just do not expect a designer fragrance!

Do you know when some things start as a game and in the end take us so much? With this perfume it was like this. I always had it under my eyes and nose as a child (along with sergio tacchini Stile) but I only wore it for some pizza with friends or birthday parties. At the time I knew nothing about perfumes. I always played with it, I sprayed it in the air for no reason. My parents never bought it back to me until, a few days ago, I noticed a child in a perfumery attracted by this fragrance. His budget was very limited and thankfully he managed to buy it. After seeing him buy, I sprayed these liquid memories and returned that nerd child to birthday parties. Needless to say, I bought it with tears in my eyes and confirm: The fragrance is as I remembered it. A beautiful Sandal together with the Lime and, as some have pointed out, I can hear lavender and cloves. An office perfume but also for physical activity!

Overall easy to wear, fresh and clean. Very pleasant to wear. Longevity is solid for a fresh fragrance. You stand out as this is worn by not too many people - and no clones in sight. I was surprised to find the bottle at fragrance buy.ca and got it ... great scent. Just a reminder - has the 90ies lemony vibe w.o. being too old school ... Performance: 6-8 hours Sillage: Ok at arms length For whom: Gentlemen >40 My background: I only write reviews about scents I have worn already (until the bottle is finished) or are in current use. I'm a Gentlemen - middle aged - predominantly in an executive office environment wearing suits and representing with many official gatherings

A bright lime citrus and woody fragrance that has a bit of a mossy feel to it too. As it dries the powdery feel of the sandalwood comes through stronger. If you can pick this up cheaply which is possible at discounters and you are a fan of fragrances like Rogue Mouse Illumine or just that sort of style of clean yet mossy or herbal green woody of decades past this is a no brainer, grab it.

I've not seen this for years. I remember buying it from a shop in Santa Ponsa, Majorca in 1988. I can't remember much about it except that I was enthused at the time and remember it being quite distinct and unique at launch. It seemed very woodsy and maybe a bit resinous – but in a pleasant dry and sporty way. I wish I could remember more. Sorry...

I have a vintage mini and I can still pick up the lime which I figured for sure would have been burnt off after all these years. After that sandalwood, cedar, a rubbery styrax, mossy green notes and aromatics. Drydown is clean sandalwood. Good, but not great. Scent 7.3/10 Performance 5/10

I agree with most of the reviews below. This scent epitomizes the '80s "sport" theme, with a bright, grassy opening and a smooth sandalwood drydown. I'm fairly sure the listed notes are incomplete, because there's definitely some kind of green note in the beginning that lingers until the woody notes take over. The first sniff takes me back to a tennis match at a posh country club that...well, I wasn't born yet, but you get the idea. Unfortunately, the styrax smells completely out of place to me. Maybe this is due to a reformulation, I don't know, but the fragrance would be a whole lot better without it, IMO.

80's - 90's vintage scent with average performance and good enough quality. Not a game changer but for 10€/100ml is a great deal. You get nostalgic vibes from the past. Not for younger people.

Recent reformulations has dilluted the smell. It's not even close to what it smelled like back in the day. A faint whisper of what used to be.

Here’s a big surprise, because aside from lacking coarseness (€10 for 100 ml), there is a clear resemblance to Cuir de Noir. However, this one is fresher and has a barbershop vibe in the background. Really quite good — if it weren’t for the cheap undertone, it would be considered an interesting, intriguing scent. But is it for me? I think that’s the styrax, with a hint of milky candies, caramels, or something similar. It’s funny that yesterday I wrote that in a more expensive bottle it would be regarded as a proper perfume, and today I’m trying Caron Le 3e and feel something very similar.

Almost great... I wish this was just a simple aromatic Italian citrus - it would've been great - the go-to choice at this price point. However they ruined it with the strong sweet note. To me, it doesn't really work. It smells all fresh and clean but there's this underlying persistent "damp biscuits" smell. The search continues...

I like the smells of lime and sandalwood. However, I don't like Tacchini's smell. It smells like washing detergent or wash powder. To me it's not natural and fresh. This is the second bomb with my blind buy. Unfortunately!

I have to correct the review below as he doesn't know what he's talking about . This is not a barbershop fougere nor is it like Drakkar Noir, or Rive gauche pour Homme or Zino. This is citrus sharp and more in line like things such as Eau Sauvage, Sport de Paco Rabanne, Signoricci

I love it, no matter how much it costs... $7, 25, 60 or 80. I remember five versions, after subsequent reformulations, but there were probably much more. Sergio Tacchini used to be relatively much more expensive, but I have yet to come across something that would be an ordinary Chinese fake. Each of the individual batches I encountered retained its profile (maybe I was lucky)... although each of them defines certain scents a little differently, which is natural. It's no different with me. Officially announced fragrance compositions that I remember - Version One - 1. Lime, Bergamot, Rosemary, Cloves 2. Cedar Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Lavender 3. Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Musk, Leather Version Two - 1. Lime, Bergamot, Rosemary, Cloves, Pepper 2. Cedar Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Lavender 3. Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Patchouli, Musk, Leather Version Three - 1. Lime, Bergamot, Mint 2. Lavender, Thyme, Geranium 3. Oakmoss, Vetiver, Cedar, Patchouli, Musk Version Four - 1. Lime, Bergamot, Mint 2. Lavender, Geranium 3. Cedar, Musk, Styrax And the current, modern one, i.e. Version Five - 1. Lime, Bergamot 2. Cedar Leaves, Lavender 3. Styrax, Sandalwood Despite the notes presented in the current batches, today, after the last reformulation, I feel something slightly different - 1. Lime, Cloves 2. Sandalwood, Lavender 3. Cedar Leaves, Vetiver, Patchouli, Styrax (which combines the scent of rubber and delicate leather), Spices. The entire show takes place as follows - 1. Delicate lime, much less noticeable bergamot and some cloves. And it lasts for a short time, 15-20 minutes. 2. The lavender comes through very quickly, some Cedar Leaves appear and some citrus remains, but very smooth, calm, less noticeable. It lasts about 30 - 45 minutes and in the last 10 - 15 minutes quite strong earthy notes begin to appear 3. Before the very end we have Vetiver, Patchouli, Styrax - as the main notes plus Lavender. Sandalwood and cedar leaves fit into the overall impression of Vetiver, Patchouli and Styrax, sweetening and soothing the rubbery vibe, suddenly I start to smell greenery, something a bit spicy, but I don't associate it with the initial cloves. It's getting slightly green, like on a grass court, although the end will be slightly different... as if we had suddenly moved from Wimbledon to Roland Garros. Vetiver, Patchouli, Styrax... with slightly distant but adding freshness Lavender and greenery - grass, leaves... i.e. Wimbledon again. ;) This is the ending - very earthy, rubbery - slightly leathery with a breath of freshness, lavender is a very important ingredient here... after all, it is mainly an outdoor sport. ;) Leather and spices are really poorly represented here... although they can be included in this fragrance pyramid. It all comes down to the smell of the rubber sole of a shoe, a tennis ball... caked with tennis court flour, paradoxically - freshness and a very distant smell of greenery. The most beautiful thing is the transition from the middle notes to the base notes and the finale itself. The combination of very strong earthy notes, styrax and lavender surrounded by discreet greenery makes an amazing impression. The first phase lasts about 15 - 20 minutes, the second lasts no longer than 45 minutes, the third about an hour... which is perfect for a short match. :) At the end, the scent becomes very close to the skin, completely earthy with a bit of green, the deep scent lasts for at least 10 hours. Vetiver and patchouli end this beautiful spectacle... alone. Longevity - 12 hours, moderate projection - 1 hour, projection to the length of the elbow is another half an hour... and then we are left alone and continue to enjoy this amazing show... for pennies, sniffing our wrists again and again. :))) Long-lasting scent, but any very moderate projection lasts a maximum of an hour and a half, then Sergio is only noticeable from very close, 10 - 20 cm... and a moment later it is only ours, only for us. :) All this with one caveat - it all makes an impression on someone who played tennis at that time, when the dominance of brands such as Tacchini, FILA, Le Coq Sportif, Kappa, or Slazenger, among others, was ending and they were starting to rule on the courts - Adidas, Nike, Puma, Reebok and among other manufacturers also Wilson... Wilson combined both eras. Lacoste was also in retreat but is still fighting today. New Balance, Asics, Under Armour, Hi-Tec (which suddenly rose high and then fell quite quickly)... these are later times. I look at this eau de toilette today from this perspective. Reminiscing on distant times, the composition looked slightly different but retained its general profile, different but I still love it. I will add that it is a bit barbershop-like, but only a little bit. This is specific style. What do I miss? I miss the more noticeable fruity, citrus opening that also used to be well represented in the middle notes. I also miss... a bit of mint and musk, but perhaps it would be too much for today's sports fragrance. ;) We also need to remember that Sergio used to have greater efficiency, he was never a beast... but his parameters were simply better. Unfortunately, it weakens with each subsequent reformulation... but in my opinion it is still a very attractive frag. This may be a little old-fashioned, eau de toilette appeared a dozen or so years after the green Paco... but it was still trendy, it was really still trendy. Longevity is an undeniable advantage here, but any projection is actually only for us, maybe also for our wife, girlfriend, children... for people with whom we come into very close contact. Good longevity, poor sillage... 2 in 1. Ultimately, all sports fragrances, regardless of the era, are short-lived and their projection is very limited. This is no different, Sergio has a specific task to do... and he does it. I use this sometimes at home, spray it in the crook of my elbow and I'm happy... sometimes I need it. I also use it in the forest, or at the shooting range... Tacchini, Green Paco, Green Polo, Drakkar, Jacomo, Brutal, Quorum, Chopin, Ajmal, and many others that suit such situations. Recently I've been really into Ajmal Verde, it has a similar purpose, although each of the fragrances mentioned is different... there are no clones here. The ST EdT profile is so specific (in this day and age) that you really have to like it.... of course, if You want to do it ;) Bottles with a capacity of 27 - 32 ml are very cheap, the 50 ml ones are also cheap. I've heard opinions that the scent has suddenly changed recently, that only Sergio which costs $60-80 (for 100 ml) is real. I tried both versions and it seems to me that these people were perhaps deceived by some dishonest seller and since then they buy only the most expensive things, in the most expensive perfumeries. I checked this scent from various well known sources ... and the cheaper ones smell exactly the same as the more expensive ones. This means we can easily spend $25-30 for 100 ml... instead of $60 or more. Of course, if it is a trusted place and we know the seller well. Order a decant or buy the smallest bottle available and check it out for yourself. The scent fits into what we called "new times" a long time ago :))), not everyone will like it. There are probably several very similar, cheap (in this case we are playing with cheaper offers) proposals on the market, but not all of them are so clearly defined. This earth, this amazing... earth, with a quiet echo of woody notes, green notes, lavender notes. This plus a small addition of the barbershop atmosphere. It's a little sweet, old-fashioned sweet... but i like it. However, we have to spray it very generously for the "miracle" to happen. Let's overspray, more and more. Just now! :) If only for this reason you can try it and check it... and not necessarily and not immediately outside your home. Let's start by reading the notes and getting used to them. Then everyone will choose their own path. Some will call it something interesting, even addictive. Others will describe it as the smell of a grandfather from a nursing home. Nihil novi. "This Sporting Life".... And that's it, my beloved grandpa Sergio. :)

Walking out onto a grass tennis court in an early 90s sports club, morning sunlight hitting a canopy of lime trees that line the court, you breathe in, and you're hit with that new sneaker smell, a freshly opened packet of tennis balls, and the scent of the nearby lime trees. Rubbery styrax and zesty lime peel, this is a sports fragrance that smells like a literal "sports fragrance." There is nothing overly mindblowing here in terms of "you have to buy this." But this is fun to wear if you're after something that invokes a late 80s/early 90s Wall Street yuppie on a tennis court vibe. In a world of directionless flankers and boring shower gel blue cash grabs marketed to the lowest common denominator, I really appreciate older fragrances such as this that were created with an actual focused "vision". 7.5/10 Edit: Mine is one of the old style bottles (rather cheap looking and plastic, may I add), and I noticed when I was purchasing that this now also comes in a completely new bottle design. So I'm not sure if the newer releases of this in the new different bottles have been reformulated or not. Just a potential buyer beware.

This is FANTASTIC juice, so unique , has a bitter citrus Armona that's hard to place, but it's addicting. This has a something something going on too, not to harsh and cloying but not soft either, it's become a dumb easy reach in the morning, I love it but sadly my bottle was getting low and I went to check and it's become expensive somewhat on ebay, so i stopped using it until I walked in Shoppers tonight and they had a bunch of bottles in the discount rack for $21.00Can., which is $15 bucks U.S.....LMAO!!!.....I bought 2 bottle and even got another discount when I paid because I spent over some threshold, lol.!!!!.....so there you go folks, head down to Shoppers, 20 bucks!!! No one is going to smell like you either, who has this!, no one! edit; the bottles at shoppers are not the same as my pre-covid bottle, i didn't think I had a vintage as I only paid $45 for it, but it obviously was of higher quality, it's even a darker color, this new one is almost clear, the other ones are slightly yellow., just so everyone knows, cheers.

Pretty good. This is actually very modern for its time. I get what people mean by old school.... I would say this is a modern fragrance of its time and by today's standard one might say it's "outdated"... so the word wouldn't really be old school... and try to not take that in a negative way. I mean that this was way ahead of its time and then a lot of others made fragrances like this in the following years so because of that this might seem a bit dated... But really this smells better than most fragrances that are around now. This is not that similar to Dolce Gabbana however having smelt all of Max Gavarry's masculines I would say the modernness in this one really inspired the first dolce and Gabbana he made. I might like it even more soon. Right now I'm wearing Z14 and only wearing Sergio tacchini on my left wrist to compare. Max Gavarry is my favourite perfumer so like always it's been a pleasure.

I like my Morris way more than desire. I actually got the desire thinking it’s a better version but it turned out the tester they had was different to the one they were selling so I got a desire that I don’t like which I thought was a batch I preferred to my Morris. The Morris is comparable to aventus... voila. You need some time with it to get it. Just like music any good composition should take you a while to get shouldn’t it? Well it hasn’t been the case for me unfortunately apart from this and pasha. Most perfumes I’ve smelt I’ve either hated them or just loved them at first but this and pasha actually took me a while to like more. So if you’re trying too many things and have bought this to try don’t expect to get it. You gotta wear it in the summer to get it too. It’s pretty good. And that’s the Morris version. I swear the tester was even better. But don’t even bother with the desire version.

I first tried the aftershave version back in 1991 when it was widely available at every department store. I became a great admirer. Gorgeous scent. Over the years it became hard to find and ironically is still hard to find! I had forgotten about it until having a recent flashback which lead to spending some time procuring online, and then finally finding the EDT version (supplied by a UK company). When I received the bottle I removed the cap and had a smell...Wow!!! So subtle yet masculine...citrus, green and wood with a wash of fresh soap triggering memories from 22 years ago. There are floral undertones too. I think it was designed for the tennis player but I wear it at work and socially. Such a unique and pleasant fragrance. I like the bottle also, interesting in shape and design, half glass, half plastic. All in all - unique.

I'm a woman...... would you believe me when I tell you this has been my favourite scent for soooooo many years! I can't count all the times guys complemented me on how good I smelled....just to make them silent when I told them it was a man's perfume !!!!! Wearing this I feel I breathe easier, floating like a bird on this chilly breeze by Sergio. Chilly, fresh and airy, but still with this exciting urge to smell and smell and smell.... I never cared if perfumes (smells) are meant for this or that gender. My nose has it's own right to vote! Long live Sergio Tacchini. DON'T EVER LEAVE ME !!!

Wow. Except the first five minutes of green citrus start, this perfume is round and it becomes a light warm and light oriental fragrance. Delicious gourmand. Very nice, so male in shirt and virgin wool sweater. This is the perfect example of wrong bottle. Squared lines and grey colour suggest a fresh dry sporty fragrance and this is not. Sergio Tacchini still in production and it is even cheap (less than 10euro for 27ml on ebay. less than 25 euro for 100ml. What Dimitrios is talking about? Vintage?). Reminds me Heritage de Guerlain and Land by Lacoste. Very simple but tickling.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Very unique as it has a je ne sais quoi that i find intoxicating, it doesn't smell like any of my 300 scents, definitely not Gucci Nobile(think Drakkar Noir here) I love the bitter almost sour citrus with the rubbery styrx with that sandalwood base, CLASSIC! And I'm talking about the $20 drugstore, cheapy Reissue🤯 I've already went through three bottles❤️🤝 Good performance too, not any worse than any expensive designer and maybe better. than some of the poorer performing ones. Next time I see this on this shelf, I'm buying every single bottle.

This scent is like eau sauvage 1966 only with more balls and spice. Rubber balls. I was out one night and felt like I was being followed. Everywhere I went, even in the bathroom. I was washing my hands at the sink and asked wtf I was doing following me. It's your cologne, snap out of it, act normal. That gets me every time. Act normal, with this scent? I'm abnormally fresh. This scent follows you around all night, get over it.

One of my TOP favourites! I own a vintage 10 mills decant, and a 28 mills of current version and both are gorgeous! I can't feel any difference. Absolutely unique, italian, sporty, elegant, spicey, freshness! From casual to formal, all-round, all-year stuff. Best from the House. We got a nice compliment from a Lady ! LOVE! PARFUMERS: Max Gavarry, Jan Van Elst
