  Sergio Tacchini is a perfume that on its own knocks down the arguments insisting on a necessary link between quality and price. It belongs to the era when the fern tried to be fresh and vital. A year later came Jazz and Gucci Nobile; the latter bears a notable resemblance. It’s a classic fern leaning towards the luminous: a smell of a good wood grove with a solid base of woods and oak moss, without losing its spicy, clean, soapy tone. The ingredients feel high quality, the balance is well-achieved, and it harks back to that glorious era from which fern lovers wouldn’t want to leave. Although the projection is normal, the longevity is excellent. The path is clear: Drakkar Noir, Jazz, Cool Water, Gucci Nobile, and Rive Gauche pour Homme. There it is, radiant, crystal clear, Mediterranean, proud of itself. Sergio Tacchini holds a magnificent essence at an absurdly cheap price. (Discovered thanks to Jerry Drake.)

  One of the most curious summer fragrances I’ve tried. Sergio Tacchini is fresh, herbaceous, and very rare, like crushing wood with tea and resin. It reminds me of Yves Saint Laurent’s Jazz, which is very expensive on eBay, and also like a Brut but very lime-focused. Another endangered species on eBay with high prices, though I was lucky to buy mine for $33. If you like vintage classics like Tsar or Live Jazz, don’t hesitate to get this. Longevity of 5-6 hours, moderate to strong trail for 1 hour. A very good blind buy.

  Extra review: I just tried Tom Ford’s Beau de Jour; it smells 70% the same, except BdJ has a mint note. Another good option if you don’t want to spend a fortune on a quality fougère, although Tom Ford is more coveted and Sergio Tacchini is more ‘underground.’ The closest match is a Brut from ST but more refined. BdJ has slightly better longevity and higher concentration. It costs $150 for 100ml, while the ST is 30-45, with similar longevity. Let your judgment decide.

  It smells like ‘Fabuloso,’ that floor cleaner here. I’m not saying I dislike it; I like the scent, but it’s creepy to feel like I’m wearing something I can’t stop associating with floor liquid. Addendum: Dior Sauvage Elixir smells quite similar to me in terms of lavender scent. I’m not saying they’re the same, but…

  Synthetic bomb smelling like bathroom cleaner. They say it smells like Beau de Jour, don’t fall for the trick. Cheap comes expensive.

  Vintage version: A month ago I had to explain to a 31-year-old cousin who Limahl, Culture Club, and Kajagoogoo were… This fragrance is the hardest to classify. It smells like naked, masculine innocence—the moment when you’re no longer a child but not quite a man yet: intact but losing innocence, with that guilty feeling of crossing a threshold and that hunger for the taboo and the unknown. It’s a classic cut, very fresh and elegant, ideal for hot summer days outdoors. Refreshing, appropriate longevity, very pleasant, natural, and masculine. In the end, slightly floral (valley lily), subtly powdery without being dated, with that achieved citrus note and a minty touch that makes it perfect for the heat. A summer option with quality; the new version is cheap and uninspired. Current version: The top note has changed drastically; the citrus is toned down and replaced by a bubblegum-like note, slightly citrusy, which vanishes after two hours leaving behind a persistent woody-musk sweetness. The main character is gone; the freshly sprayed soap scent is very soft, just a faint echo of the vintage’s brutal opening. Much sweeter than the original, it’s lost that overwhelming masculinity to ‘modernize.’ In the end, it just surrounds you with sweetness, and you realize it’s not the same, without losing that original bubblegum note. If you find vintage for 30-50 euros, go for it. The new version doesn’t seem up to par. P.S.: If you want Beau de Jour, buy the Tom Ford one; the Sergio Tacchini is something else entirely, quite different.

  I remember this from the 90s; that lime acidity really hooked me. Fresh, elegant, and it made me happy.
