Benetton Tribu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993, created by Bernard Ellena. Tribu opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Benzoin. Benetton's Tribu carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; Tribu is a love-it-or-hate-it scent that will either transport you back to the '90s with its 'jammy' uniqueness or repel you with its 'rotten fruit' over-ripeness. It's a bold blast from the past.

Its noted 'monstrous longevity' and 'strong sillage' mean Tribu is too overwhelming for an office setting. However, its unique and 'sexy' character makes it suitable for adventurous dates or casual outings, though perhaps less so for formal events due to its distinctive, unyielding personality.

About

Tribu is a deep dive into dark, jammy fruits, spearheaded by a prominent blackcurrant, almost verging on fermented wine. This potent fruitiness is tempered by a dense, earthy, and mossy base of vetiver, sandalwood, and oakmoss, with a surprisingly strong chamomile undertone. Hints of floral rose and jasmine peek through, wrapped in the balmy warmth of benzoin, creating a complex, almost herbal concoction that lingers with impressive tenacity.
