A fresh start to the first test.
Very spicy, palatable, sweet and powdery in the depths. However, this initial freshness is merely reminiscent of its predecessor We Are Tribe and quickly subsides.
The impression of a deep, dark perfume is created with dry fruit notes, which can appear somewhat exuberant for a short time. However, this settles again quite quickly.
I imagine myself lying on wet asphalt, clad in fruity leather. It is woody-cool, with a ripe plum nearby. It shimmers dark red under the eyelids. Well accentuated by the color of the bottle.
Lurking on the olfactory pyramid, the tart, herbaceous lavender that embraces the iris in a friendly manner reveals itself to me.
An elegant impression.
If you are worried about the licorice: it is relatively discreet here and much less prominent than in Île Mythique, for example, where it plays a dominant role.
However, its tasty spiciness is present.
Cinnamon remains sweetly dry and very subtle. Harmonizes with the sweetness of the liquorice.
Resins, mint and vetiver create fresh, cool and ethereal top notes that shine through from time to time.
Artemisia, guaiac wood and carrot seeds are unfortunately difficult to pinpoint, as I am not familiar with their individual scents.
We Are Tribe Intense feels familiar, especially after the drydown. We are at a designer level here. You shouldn't expect a niche, but you do get a fragrance impression that, due to its unusualness in the designer sector, is definitely moving towards niche. At least as an idea as such.
You should not expect a hyper-qualitative and totally balanced perfume, but at the same time you will not be disappointed if you like resins, incense and spice. The smoke here is by no means clerical.
I can imagine that the We Are Tribe may seem a little mediocre to some. However, with the current pricing, this doesn't hurt anyone. You pay considerably more for a Boss Bottled Elixir, which despite the fact that I consider it to be mediocrely well made, or that I personally still find something lacking, I still like it very much and will eventually move in with me at a discount price. And this is where I see a certain parallel between We Are Tribe Intense and Boss Bottled Elexir. Only in an Eau de Cologne or an Eau Fresh concentration of the same.
I have the impression that WE Are Tribe Intense is by no means imposing. A fairly discreet candidate, which makes it versatile for smaller spaces or close human contact. Which should also be indicative of the effect of the sillage.
We Are Tribe Intense can be thought of as a perfume that is particularly suitable for evenings, whose vibes also allow for greater versatility, but with a focus on winter.
You should not have an aversion to synthetics. It doesn't look particularly strong or cheap here. Rather really well done, even if it can get a little bumpier in this respect towards the end.
As with its predecessor, the bottle is of good quality and detailed. Only the injection scar on the flacon lid and the fact that it is a little too light is a little annoying. And as previously mentioned in the review of the predecessor, such a playful bottle shape is not attractive to everyone.
However, I personally like such curiosities. So far, I haven't had any negative feedback about the bottle, on the contrary. I like the bottle.
WE Are Tribe Intense is a deep, dark, pleasantly resinous-spicy, discreetly sweet and powdery fragrance for everyday wear in winter, with notes of leather and dry fruits.
Its field of application is not necessarily restricted to a specific type of clothing or a limited occasion.
The longevity and sillage is relatively low, but this may be different for a different skin type.
I like it and it's certainly great as a gift. Unfortunately, the Intense version is very rare at the moment. I was lucky that Benetton suddenly had it in stock, thanks to a newsletter subscription that can now be canceled.
It's a cozy hoodie and I'm delighted to be able to call the We Are Tribe Intense my own.
The predecessor: We Are Tribe
