Molinard Fragrance review

Molinard We Are Tribe Elixir

An analytical deep dive into the latest iteration of Benetton's contemporary masculine line.

By Vivir · · Updated
The evolution of the 'We Are Tribe' collection by Benetton arrives at a compelling juncture in 2026. As the market pivots toward deeper, more resonant amber-centric profiles, this latest release seeks to solidify the brand's position within the accessible luxury segment. It is a fragrance that speaks to the zeitgeist of the mid-2020s, balancing sharp, aromatic top notes with a dense, terrestrial base. In analyzing this 2026 iteration, one must look beyond the price point. The composition demonstrates a clear intent to utilize contemporary synthetics to mimic the traditional warmth of resins and leathers. It is a study in texture, moving from the ethereal brightness of citrus blossoms to the grounding weight of labdanum and amberwoods.
