Colors de Benetton (Original)

Colors de Benetton (Original) is a nostalgic, youthful scent defined by its bold blend of fruity, green, floral, and woody accords. The original 1987 formulation remains deeply distinctive, featuring a fresh, spicy herbal opening with prominent notes of pineapple, peach, and basil, transitioning into a creamy, sweet floral heart of jasmine and tuberose, with a deep, resonant base of oakmoss and civet. Its performance is legendary—longevity and sillage are exceptional for a vintage EDT, with a powerful, long-lasting presence that lingers well into the day. This fragrance embodies the iconic aesthetic of Benetton in the late 80s and early 90s: vibrant, unisex, bold, and cinematic, evoking vivid memories of shopping at stores, wearing colorful clothing, and the intoxicating essence of youth. It’s not subtle—its presence is undeniable, making it ideal for those seeking a memorable, emotionally resonant experience rather than a quiet scent. The vintage formulation is widely celebrated, with many reviewers insisting that modern reformulations fall significantly short.
