Benetton Colors Black Intenso

In this review
In the vast landscape of masculine perfumery, few houses manage to capture the essence of modern sophistication while remaining accessible quite like Benetton. With the release of Colors Black Intenso in 2021, the brand sought to push the boundaries of their 'Colors' collection, enlisting the masterful Jordi Fernández to craft a scent that feels both grounded and deeply mysterious. This EDP is not merely a fragrance; it is an invitation to explore the shadows of the night.
From the moment the atomizer releases its first mist, one is immediately struck by the deliberate construction of the scent. It moves away from the fleeting, citrus-heavy tropes of its predecessors, opting instead for a resinous, warm, and spicy profile that demands attention. It is a fragrance that speaks to the man who values depth and complexity, offering a sensory experience that feels far more premium than its accessible price point suggests.
