The house of Benetton gifted the world with Playlife Men in 2003. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the wood and citrus families. Playlife Men — proudly part of the Playlife collection. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.
Country of origin — Italy. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Playlife Men evolves as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Benetton comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Aromatic, Spicy and Wood. At family level the composition sits in Citrus and Wood.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the notes arrive together with a airy lemon mood: Citrus accord, Mint, Spices and Woody Accord. In this format 4 notes act as one voice, creating sunny vitality that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The deeper layers are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Wood and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Playlife Men reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best understood in wear.
