After the Office Gymnastics, a Root Beer
Sergio Tacchini has a special image. Tennis, old school... For me, the original Sergio Tacchini fragrance immediately comes to mind, which is a very unique, soapy scent that surprisingly stood out from the mainstream of its time. A good reason to take a closer look at the siblings that are also offered in Italy in unloving 28 ml bottles for single-digit euro amounts, so I shamelessly took the plunge based on the local comments. I am not aware of any reformulations.
The opening presents a brief, quite generic citrus freshness, which initially does not stand out negatively. Lavender and tarragon push into the picture early on, presented here similarly to D&G Pour Homme - gray, somewhat dull, reminiscent of a laundry.
This makes the scent somewhat stoic, not very lively, a bit humorless. Now the whole story is rounded off with tonka and co.
For me, the blended lavender gives an impression like the smell of wintergreen, which is the freshness standard for American mouthwashes and toothpastes (while here, mint is more commonly used). Or it could also be responsible for the unfamiliar taste of root beer for Central European palates, which may not please everyone. (Here, I would also refer to the relevant notes in Apicius' comment on Amouage's Reflection Man.)
Longevity and sillage are okay.
When everything has shifted to a skin-close experience, the fragrance gets an interesting spicy touch. But by then, it's too late, as it's hardly perceptible.
To me, all of this seems quite dowdy, not very lively. If this is meant to be sporty, one rather thinks of a company-mandated break for central body conditioning. And in the end, everyone downs a root beer to undo the calorie burn.
For me, it's a somewhat coarsely crafted lavender scent, which doesn't necessarily come off as cheap, with a slightly sweet rounding. In terms of quality and price-performance ratio, it is certainly above the usual drugstore level.
