Description
Benetton Verde, Benetton Rosso, Benetton Giallo and Benetton Blu are five new fragrances by the house of Benetton presented in collection Colori 2010. Two fragrances are editions for women and other two aim at men.
The house of Benetton bases their creation, collection and games on colours. Designers of the house create in honour of variety offered by our world. Colour is a universal means of communication and each colour has separate meaning in different cultures.
Uniting colours and fragrance is not an unusual step by Benetton. Cheerful combination of creativity, universality and youth offers new compositions and new contents. Red, yellow, green and blue are closely connected with certain feelings, locations, plants, flowers, as a combination of picture and emotion. Red suggests red berries, strength, passion, rose flower; yellow reminds of us summer, stars, energy and gold; green is the colour of hope, football, nature, mint leaves; green associates of jeans, ocean, freedom and peace.
Each flacon is marked with a special colour created as an unfinished graffiti. Painting with colour suggests a spontaneous gesture which unifies all cultures and generations. Design Studio Fabrica created flacon for the Benetton Colori collection.
Benetton Verde Man – green is the colour of nature which has a calming effect on our senses. Composition of this edition is created of grapefruit, cardamom and melon in top notes, a heart beats with nutmeg, violet leaves and aromatic geranium, while a base features a trail of cedar, Guaiac and benzoin.
All four fragrances are available as 30ml EDT. An accompanying collection encompasses deodorants carrying the same aromas. Available from the beginning of 2010!

It smelled really fresh and have strong character, more suitable for use in daylight or outdoor activities. You can imagine this smell is like ozone scent mixed with woody scent & smell like a chemical liquid that overpowering in the nose. The good thing is the change of a pungent smell to the smell of fresh fruits. This is one of perfume that has a distinctive smell but has a strange new impression.
azazel – :
I only love the opening notes, later it just vanishes from skin.
Its neither bad nor good.
Sometimes it smells great and sometimes its just a let down.
Nothing special about this perfume.

I liked this scent on my card at perfumania but smells like crayons on my skin. Don’t know why I bought it, I ended up giving it to value village
Pasha_ – :
Very clean, fresh and simple fragrance. Perfect for every day use, I wear it going to work or hanging with my friends.
At the top it’s very fresh, sharp, lot of citrus and green notes. Drydown is very pleasant, masculine, yet fresh and it reminds me of Puma Green a little, but I think Benetton’s Verde has way better longevity.
It lasts for about 5-6 hours with pretty good sillage, then it’s still on me, but very close to skin. I can still smell it well on my scarf, though I’ve used it two days ago, so the quality is prett good as for the price.
The bottle is 100 ml, which is good.
A perfect, fresh and light fragrance for any occasion.
Donhomer – :
This is quite a pleasant fragrance. Like most of the Benetton fragrances I have tried or read about, it is not earth shatteringly brilliant, but fulfills its purpose. I get crisp grapefruit, cedar and a general greenish note. I would almost say there is a vetiver kind of vibe to this, though it is not a listed ingredient. It is reasonably long-lasting and can be bought cheaply. It would be great for summer.
andrei301 – :
It’s a rather simple fragrance. What you smell at the beginning is pretty much what you are left with for the duration of the scent life(which varies from 3 hours all the way to 8.)
It’s quite a refreshing scent that smells much more natural than what you would expect from such a cheap scent(I’ve seen it on sale for 15 dollars for the past 6 months on Perfumania)
Grapefruit, Melon, and violet Leaf blend together for a very tropical scent perfect for the Summer!
aspirantt – :
I didn’t think I’d like this one, since I tend to dislike violet leaf, cedar, melon, and guaiac wood, especially in recent fragrances. Grapefruit can get irritating if it’s too strong as well. However, this one is very good, with excellent balance. It’s reasonably natural smelling too. The notes come together in a mass accord but it doesn’t smell like an annoying “blob,” perhaps because it’s not sharp in any way. It’s not too sweet either, and a great office or school fragrance for the non-aficionado. Also good for a day outdoors during warm weather. Longevity is excellent and projection (“sillage”) is good. It may have no “wow factor,” but it definitely has a “not bad at all” factor.
Adermotrede – :
Absolutely love it. After reading different reviews online, I found it (as well as Benetton Blu) on Amazon.com for 13.25 per bottle (3.4 oz each) plus free shipping. I would definitely consider this unisex more so than men.
Shikalov – :
Benetton VERDE is the fourth in the colors series that I’ve tried, and I find it just as wearable as GIALLO, BLU, and ROSSO. To my nose, VERDE bears a remarkable similarity to CERRUTI IMAGE for her. Maybe that’s because CERRUTI IMAGE for her is really a masculine cologne in disguise–well, at least in summertime, when the aromatics volatilize to create Big Cologne sillage!
This composition is rich in nutmeg, violet leaf, and the Benetton cedar note which plays an important role in three of the four color edts. I like VERDE a lot and find it more unisex than masculine. This is a refreshing aromatic composition with a touch of woody spiciness.
