We Are Tribe by Benetton

Smells like synthetic grape, too sweet, and fades in an instant. Very basic.

Fresh and youthful for everyday wear. Simple, no fuss. Opens with orange and grapefruit, light and fast, giving way to clean, slightly soapy, herbal lavender. As it dries, vetiver and amber try to add warmth but don’t stand out. Smells good at first but fades quickly; gone after three hours. Low longevity and sillage. Correct if you’re not looking for surprises, but it leaves no trace. I wouldn’t buy it again. Rating: 5.5/10.

A synthetic ocean trapped in blue glass. Benetton’s We Are Tribe tries to be urban and free energy, but it smells like marine detergent with scattered spices. The opening is sharp, aquatic, almost metallic, like public pool water. Then, an undefined accord of wet grass and cheap ozone that feels flat. Pure nostalgia for the nineties; for everyone else, an empty echo disguised as freshness. It’s not a perfume, it’s a time capsule: loud, colorful, youthful… and as hollow as a ruined graffiti wall.

Totally generic and synthetic. A perfume that’s too youthful, lasting nothing and projecting nothing.

Youthful citrus; I bought it for my seven-year-old son. Smells like marine citrus, nothing special, low longevity and sillage. I paid two mangoes for it, so I’m not complaining.

Aromatic and rich, though it doesn’t stand out for anything. Reminds me of Paco Rabanne’s Invictus. It feels synthetic, but you can’t expect more for the price. Lasts about five hours. Great for gifting since everyone likes it. Youthful and versatile for heat, but not above 30 degrees, as the amber and citrus can become unbearable.

When I sprayed it, I thought it was gorgeous. On the bus, I was floating in a fruity, youthful cloud of scent, almost hallucinating from how rich it smelled. I got to school and got a shock: it had vanished down to the skin in less than an hour, despite a ton of sprays. Same thing every other day. I give it 6 out of 10.

It doesn’t remind me of Invictus, maybe Inv Aqua does, since you can tell that aquatic character, just like in King of Seduction Absolute which makes it addictive. Maybe it’s very linear, but it’s a pleasant scent; it doesn’t last long, but it’s quite addictive to me.

I tried it and liked it. When I bought it and started using it, I didn’t like it as much. It feels heavy. It’s not for me.

Pleasant scent and very similar to Invictus. This option is the most recommended if you don’t have the budget for the original.

The scent to me is defined as a mix between Versace Dylan Blue and Antonio Banderas The Icon. Mix those two and you get this perfume, so if you like that line of perfumes, you might like this Benetton.

Generic. Many say it resembles other fragrances and they’re right; it’s hard to classify because it mimics both low-end and high-end scents. I think a creative came up with a pretty bottle that all the bosses loved, so they decided to launch it quickly before someone copied something similar, filling it with a stored or unfinished fragrance. It smells good and feels nice, and the bottle suggests it’s for cold weather, but the performance is poor: on me, it lasts only minutes, the sillage is timid, and it disappears fast. It’s pretty for gifting or personal use, but not for standing out. Would I buy it again? No.

Well, okay… according to this, Benetton is a hit: for the price of one, you get three (Cobalt, Hugo, and Invictus), so I’m jumping in to buy them. Plus, with the comments coming in, I’m sure we’ll expand the collection and instead of three, I’ll have a dozen. Geniuses!

I FINALLY DISCOVERED IT!!! That *BENETTON WE ARE TRIBE* scent I knew from the 2000s; if my dad smelled like that, it’s because he smelled like *HUGO MAN*. THE WATER BOTTLE!!! It’s identical to the Hugo Boss water bottle. For the cheap price (though it lasts 6 hours versus Hugo’s 24), I laugh, but my dad used it back then and now Benetton sells it as a youth scent. It’s weird that it has apple in it but smells exactly the same. If you want more info, use *Head & Shoulders Detox Root Shampoo*; the similar scent will make it last longer, incredible but true.

The perfume I would have loved to have in school. Decent for gifting to someone young without a collection.
