Benetton Colors de Benetton is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1987. Colors de Benetton opens with Hyacinth, Neroli, Sage, and Basil, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Benetton's Colors de Benetton carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast: a love-it-or-hate-it scent that has been ravaged by reformulation. Fans adore its unique, sporty, and complex blend of fruit and herbs, while detractors find it an overpowering mess, often compared to bug spray.

About

Colors de Benetton is a vibrant mosaic of fresh basil and bright neroli leading into a juicy heart of pineapple and peach, underscored by creamy tuberose. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated base of earthy patchouli, oakmoss, and the animalic growl of civet, all smoothed over with warm vanilla. It's a journey from green and fruity to deep and sensual.
