The Release’s History and Character
Benetton We Are Tribe Play is a 2025 eau de toilette for men, created for those who see fragrance as an extension of their character and lifestyle.
The composition is part of the We Are Tribe collection, dedicated to the energy of community, freedom of self-expression and vibrant individuality.
The fragrance was created by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis.
His signature here is evident in the way he combines fresh citrus notes, green nuances and an expressive woody-leather base, giving the fragrance a modern, dynamic and distinctive character.
Positioning and Development
We Are Tribe Play belongs to the fougère and woody fragrance families.
This is an energetic, composed and slightly daring masculine fragrance: it easily keeps pace with everyday life while remaining equally at home in an evening setting.
The composition opens with a fresh, textured impression, then becomes greener and more expansive before developing a warm woody tone with a leather accent in the base.
Its development is built on the contrast between cool expressiveness and a dense, confident finish, allowing the fragrance to noticeably change its character throughout the day.
Sillage and Wearability
According to its positioning, We Are Tribe Play has very strong sillage.
It will appeal to those who enjoy a noticeable presence and want their fragrance to remain memorable to others. However, its intensity and the individual reaction of your skin should be taken into account when applying it.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided for this release.
A practical approach is to start with a small amount and assess how the eau de toilette develops on your skin, especially indoors or in warm weather.
Its Place in Benetton’s Style
The Italian fashion house Benetton began as a family business in 1965 and entered the fragrance industry in 1987.
Like the brand’s clothing, its fragrances are associated with vibrancy, freedom and an international style, while We Are Tribe Play continues this idea through a more energetic and expressive masculine interpretation.
Similar Fragrances
If you enjoy the combination of freshness, green nuances and woody-leather depth, you may want to explore Chanel Allure Homme, Issey Miyake L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme and Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme (2010).
They differ in character and intensity, but may appeal to fans of expressive masculine compositions with a distinctive trail.
