Molinard Fragrance review
Molinard We Are Tribe Elixir
An analytical deep dive into the latest iteration of Benetton's contemporary masculine line.

In this review
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.
