Club for Her Sergio Tacchini 2019

Even though I keep telling myself to stay away from blind buys, sometimes I just crave something new and unknown, and I order without testing beforehand. Since this fragrance is an absolute bargain, I didn't have to think long about it.

I read in the forum that it is a dupe for Armani Code Cashmere. I don't know that one, but it was described as creamy, and that attribute attracts me like light attracts moths. Additionally, I quite like the original Armani Code pour Femme Eau de Parfum, so I thought, at this price, you can't go wrong.
And what can I say: The blind buy was a complete success!

The fragrance starts with a lot of fruity orange blossom and jasmine; the similarity to Armani Code pour Femme Eau de Parfum is unmistakable. The top note already puts me in a good mood, but it's not really extraordinary (well, how could it be).
After about an hour, the iris makes its way, and I briefly feared that I might have made a mistake. Iris has the property of being very powdery in my nose, and I'm not particularly fond of powdery scents.
For me, there is a big difference between powdery and creamy. Powdery has something dry about it, and I associate it with body or makeup powder. Creamy, on the other hand, has something fatty about it, like whipped cream or body lotion.
I don't know exactly how to achieve this tactile scent impression; I just know that I can perceive it distinctly. (By the way, scents described as creamy must measure up to Signature Eau de Parfum, which is wonderfully creamy and serves as my reference point).

Thank goodness (for me) this powdery note doesn't last long, and almond milk takes over. Creaminess, here I come! I can also faintly sniff a hint of leather, but it's very soft, light, not at all intrusive, and really just a whisper. This prevents the fragrance from drifting into insignificance. The scent notes are very balanced; nothing stands out or disturbs, and for the next 6 hours, I am enveloped in a warm, cozy, sweet (but not overly sugary) fragrance that is simply comforting.
Even my boyfriend lets out a satisfied grunt for Club for her (which in Northern German translates to a storm of enthusiasm), and he is usually very critical.

Club for her has catapulted itself straight to the top of my "Easy Grabs," a fragrance that always fits, is never too intrusive, and is just incredibly uncomplicated. In warm weather, I probably wouldn't wear it, as I'm more in the mood for tea, citrus, or other fruits, but winter is still long, so I will likely reach for it often until April. Another plus: The sillage and longevity are really quite satisfactory for a fragrance in this price range. In short, I am super happy with my blind buy and look forward to a cozy winter with Club for her.
