Tennis at the End of the 80s...
...back then Germany was still a tennis nation. As a Swiss, I couldn't resist making this little jab here ;-) And I say this as a fan of Germany, both in football and in tennis. The unforgettable World Cup final in 1990 and Andy Brehme's goal for victory. That was a long time ago, I was 14. The fragrance is from that time.
In 1992, I started my apprenticeship as a businessman and cheekily asked our deputy director what kind of perfume he was using. It was so fresh, creamy, unpretentious, subtle, noble, sweet, powdery. Incomparable to the other fragrances of that time, which tended to be more flashy. He wrote the name down for me, and just a few days later, I had bought my first EdT. A scent that is actually not meant for a young man, as I think today. But who cares, I wore it with joy back then...every day at the office. I was one of the first in the company to work with IBM AS400 (was it called that?) with Windows 2.0. It was so much less stressful back then than it is today *sigh*
Thanks to this site, I rediscovered it! And it’s so beautiful: all the images from my youth come flooding back. The early 90s. Terrible clothes, way too baggy...still from the 80s. Horrible shirts in pastel colors and indefinable brown-beige-green tones. Today, you couldn't even donate those pieces!
Where does the fragrance fit today? I would say it’s a classic men's scent for the office. It is surely still appreciated today! It is clearly associated with another time, but not everything was worse back then than it is today. Sergio Tachchini belongs to that era. I have never tried another EdT from this house. I actually don’t want to, because I love this one. It’s a shame that you hardly hear anything about this brand today. It would be great if Federer could wear it or Stan Wawrinka. But that’s probably just wishful thinking. A great classic men's fragrance for a wild time a few years before the internet.
A small addendum. Today at the office, I asked young and older ladies about the fragrance. The conclusion is overwhelmingly positive. The scent is fresh, soapy, noble, and subtle. And it fits very well in the office. So folks, the fragrance may be from 1987, but it’s not out of style. And the good thing: almost no one knows it anymore, because it’s only available online.

Just a small note: in Italy, you can occasionally find it in drugstores, but it's always in small quantities. Sometimes, you can even get it in a gift set with aftershave and shower gel. That's when I stock up!
