Tribu Benetton for women

Tribu is truly a gem in perfumery…It is hard to find nowadays, but totally worth it.

The opening is so original and creative, it starts out with a strong lipsticky accord that morphs into a dark fruity wine. I get strong benzoins in the opening and black currant, mandarin and ylang ylang following right after.

When Tribu settles on my skin, the jasmine makes its entrance and blends beautifully with the rest of the notes. But the jasmine note is subtle and not dominant, it is the silky black currant that is the star of the show here… I get no rose and violet leaf notes.

Tribu feels dark, earthy, sensual, warm, slightly woody, and even chocolatey at some point, but mostly boozy and like I said a bit waxy or lipsticky…it feels very high end to my nose, this one is daring and fearless…

Sillage and longevity are outstanding!

I don't know what it is about Benetton fragrances, but I always seem to feel like I can taste them when I wear them. When it comes to Tribu, that's a fine thing. When it comes to other scents, such as Colors, not so good. I guess it comes from how strong both of them are.

I appreciate Tribu for its uniqueness above all. The fragrance brings up a little swirl of love/hate, as sometimes I think it smells dated. Maybe it's the bottle's appearance. Tribu and I are still in counseling...working on our relationship.

Bought this one a few times in the 90's....lasts great.
Chocolate patchouli oakmoss raspberries. Reminds me of 100% Love, but I find Tribu richer, deeper, and sexier. FANTASTIC silage!

I was really interested in trying Tribu, because I read somewhere that Frank Sinatra wore it in his later years.

Wouldn't you know it, Tribu is unlike anything I've ever smelled before. The best way to sum it up would be "chocolate berries". Seriously. I get the tart, berry-like smell of blackcurrant paired with a strange powdery chocolate note. That's pretty much the entire scent on my skin. I don't smell any other components. Despite being pretty linear, t's very strong and has excellent longevity. Definitely a unique one, but I'm not sure if I'd buy a bottle.

I remember getting Tribu as a gift when I was about 12. I thought it was sorta sharp and loud and so didn't really like it at first, but later I warmed up to it and learned to appreciate its strangeness. I'm a bit surprised at the reviews here calling this a fall/winter fragrance though, I remember it as smelling "yellow", if the color yellow had a scent, like the yellow on the bottle. Light and fresh, yet loud. So more of a typical spring fragrance to me, and partly since I had it at a young age I think of it as a young, teen, 90s fragrance. I'm getting all nostalgic here.

MUCHO CUERO, AUNQUE EL AROMA QUE DESPRENDE ES AGRADABLE, AL OLERLO DIRECTAMENTE DA ASCO¡¡¡¡¡

My friend bought me a bottle for a belated b day gift n I still love it... For me the heart n drydown r the best parts... Naturally appealing n light yet potent...

HORRIBLE...INSOPORTABLE...

Fusty and dirty at all notes !! yucksss

OMG!! I am going to say sorry in advance because I try to not write negative reviews . . . but this is awful. I have to agree the below review about the rotten fruit. OH MY!!!!!

خانمم عاشق این عطر است و من هم از بوی آن لذت وافر میبرم. مشابه آلیس در سرزمین عجایب وقتی این عطر به مشامم میخورد احساس میکنم در یک محیط پر از گل و گیاه و سبزه قرار دارم در حالیکه در کنارم جوی آب زلال و خنکی در جریان می باشد. از حدود 10 سال پیش که اولین بار با این عطر آشنا شدیم همواره یه شیشه از آن را در منزل داشته ایم. همسرم وقتی این عطرش تمام می شود احساس خلاء میکند بطوریکه باید در اسرع وقت آن را تهیه نمائیم. ماندگاری زیادی دارد و پخش بویش هم عالیست. من از 10 نمره به آن 9.75 میدهم

I had a bottle of this perfume in my early teens. It's just not really my thing...and it never grew on me either. There is a strong over-ripe, fermented fruity smell that drowns out all the other notes for me. I would say it smells like wine and fruit. Smelling like fruity wine is definitely not sexy in my books, so unfortunately I found Tribu kind of repulsive.

And let's face it...the bottle certainly isn't adding any extra appeal. It's pretty tacky looking.

On my opinion this is a UNIQUE scent. I love perfumes and i'm always looking for a new one, so i'v smelled lots of them, but nothing smells like this one.

I LOVEEE it, its so sexy and original. I'll always use it. Is one of my favorite perfumes.

The lasting power is very good on my skin.

I'm a gourmand and this one isnt a gourmand at all, but its definatly a MUST HAVE.

I have used Tribu in my early twens.
I did like it because it is a happy perfume for autumn and winter.
I have not thought about it in years until in 2007 my husband bought me a bottle.
I thought "what the heck is this?!" because I felt a little too old for the frag now but then I used up the 50ml bottle over several weeks without wearing anything else in between and I really liked it.
The fragrance itself:
Lasting power is incredible on my skin.
One of only a few perfumes that I don't need to carry with me as I don't need to reapply every couple of hours.
Tribu is a real flower bomb - geranium, jasmine and ylang-ylang are prominent on my skin for a whole day.
I do not get any of the fruity top notes or the warm and woody base notes.
If I take that into account, Tribu is rather linear on me.
Heavy, complex but linear - which is not bad at all.

interesting one. black currant is definitely present and takes you through the ylang-ylang, and chamomile straight into sandalwood.. that I sort of get this interesting mineral scent... think rain after a long dry spell.. the way wet stone smells or red clay and heat. I don't think this perfume suits me, but it does have a specific earthy beauty to it that if it sounds like you probably will be your deal.

I like this fragrance a lot!
It's very unique, warm and comforting with sadly less than average staying power.

What makes it so special to me is its resin-like quality (from the benzoin) - I love that soft spicy-sweetness that's always there in the background.

The top notes are pretty much lost on me except for a subtle hint of fruitiness that lingers below the heart notes for a while.
I get geranium with a little chamomile and benzoin before they blend in perfectly with the other flowers.
Vetiver sets in rather early to mingle with the middle notes before the scent settles into a warm soft slightly mossy dry-down.

The geranium might be a little strong over a short period and Tribu lasts less than 4 hours on me. Apart from that it's a great scent.

Guest Snoopy, it's been ages since I last heard of Tribú Aqua Fresca. Same bottle, but in colors white and blue, and yes, way lighter than regular Tribú, indeed.

Dear members! Anybody know about "Tribu Acqua Fresca"? What type it is? Maby you know something about notes? It is lighter than the "Tribu"?
Thanks!

Starts with a strong note of pastel crayons, together with red & black tea with the raisins cooked in the tea.
In the middle I get he deepest sandalwood with a few figs, and dried fruits & tobacco, with sour rowanberry spiced up in liquor, so I guess rowanberry-liquor? This scent is **VERY AUTUMN**, the very scent of the year ending. Burning red, brown & yellow leaves, in the same color as the actual bottle! This is a very interesting "nichy"-smelling kind of perfume indeed!

This was my fragrance of choice during college days for me. This was my introduction to woody/powder/boozy scents. I love oakmoss it has always turned sweet on my skin, a good woody sweet. I never got flowers in this. Great memories for an enjoyable fragrance.

I sprayed some of this on in a department store many years ago- and then went home. I was obsessed all evening and could not wait to get back to the store the next day to buy it. It is the most unique mixture of scents I have ever found. There is something earthy and primal about it. I wear it when I am feeling ultra-seductive.

I wore this ages ago and I haven't smelled it since then. I always thought it smelled like the big wooden barrel where my grandfather used to ferment fruits for his self-brewed liquor.

i just got this fragrance an hour ago. i bought this via internet without knowing how it smells and only relying my choice based on comments in fragrantica.com.

at first, it smells like a clothing shop that i ever visited several years ago, a strong woody scent, which was making me sick right away. a minute after that, the smells get better, and the italian mandarin scent starts to come out. but minutes after that, the woody scent come out again but in softer way.

hopefully i can like this scent soon, a very dramatic changes from Britney "curious" fragrance.

i never wore perfume because my skin becomes very dry when i spray perfume. i even get an allergic reaction but this was the first that didn't do that to me. my husband had suggested me trying this but it was so hard to find because we didn't know it was discontinued. finally, we found it at a fragrance shop at the mall near us and it being the last one so we bargained and got it for cheap.

overall, i LOVE this perfume!

A great deal, a very very nice perfume for such a good price! Just excellent.

I agree with smellysmellycat. I'm the person who doesn't like Floral scented perfumes, but I love Tribu! At first it smelled like beer and wine with flowers. But as it lasts long in my skin, it becomes seductive and sophisticated and so so beautiful. It lasts for hours. I love it! I had it when I as in High school and I still have 1 now, actually I am buying again.

I used to wear it ten years ago, i bought it again.
It smells very soft-woody, clean and makes you feel beautiful somehow. I find this fragrance quite attractive.

A friend of mine used to wear it when we were teenagers and I still remember it was unusual and fabulous! If the company decides to bring it back I will be the first to buy it. It remindas me of my adolescence.

you can buy this one on ebay.com :)

Another perfume which was sadly discontinued... Found it a couple of years ago in a Benetton store though but did not buy it straightaway. By the time I thought about and came back to buy it, they had stopped selling it. I am still very angry with myself for not buying it straightaway as I had been looking for it for so long.

I used to wear this in my late 20's and got so many compliments on the nice scent. I tried it again many years later and it didn't seem to smell as nice as it used to. It's true that the body change over the years and a perfume that used to fit us doesn't do the job anymore a decade after.

i gave this to my mom a couple years ago and she loves it...for me smells like putting your nose inside a box of lucky charms cereal...jejeje... and thats not bad at all! i love it its nice and unexpensive!

My best friend used to wear it years ago, it reminds me our senior year at high school...
Not my type of fragrance and I can't classify it as "floral", oriental-woody with tiny bits of floral accords maybe if we have to say floral somehow :)

Yes, this is an overwhelming scent. I wore this years ago-it was my signature scent! Looking back on it, I'm a little surprised that I made this perfume my 'holy grail' for so long as it is probably one of the strangest perfumes I have ever tried. All I can say is that Tribu probably kicked off my love for loud scents.

It's an unusual little perfume: It has an opening blast of something kind of dark and fruity and which must be the currant thrown in with something that smells like tea. Then, this kind of bitter geranium/rose smell steps up. When it's all said and done, it settles into a mossy almost woody scent. This one is too different and loud to be called a 'floral' in my opinion. Someone who is expecting something soft and garden-like pretty better look elsewhere!

The first time i wach this bottle i think was special but although i love oriental scence, this is very very strogn, in i have the bottle new, because i dont like it anymore. For me it is "overwhelming"
