Sergio Tacchini Sergio Tacchini 1987 Eau de Toilette

Tacchini predates, by just a few months, the era of aquatic cookie-cutter freshies that we're still plagued with to this day. It's a spicy-woody masculine freshie with a dollop of styrax. Sharp and quite linear. It was always odd for a sports freshie, and by modern standards it's more of a casual/office scent to be worn in hot weather. Nowadays you'd never find a medicinal rubbery styrax note in a sports fragrance, but this was the 80s when designer perfume companies dared to be different.

The vintage version projects very well for an hour and a half, after which it sits close to the skin. Lasts 6 hours total on me.

Masculinity Level: Ben Affleck in Boiler Room.
