Ah My signature Scent for 3 years now, I fell in love with it the 1st time I smelled && tested it probably b/c I'm a fan of soapy, floral, powdery smelling fragrances && Burberry Touch Men has all of those characteristics.
Its a very light enjoyable fragrance, one of those fragrances (IMO) that you will never not be in the mood for it, perfect for everyday, special occasions, whenever, Plus its perfect for year round.
It's a pretty safe cologne I'd say (IMO) again perfect for any age who enjoys these types of scents, It has great longevity & projection && it sure to draw compliments, its my fav. go to cologne, thanks Burberry! :)
Revisiting this fragrance as it stayed from long time in my want list: another good example of the fact that over the years the sense of smell, if you train it properly, will grow with your experience. As a result I don't want it anymore cause now it's reminding me of other things I have or disliked.
Starts bitter-aromatic with very clear accords of violet leaf, artemisia and some petitgrain combined with black pepper and that's where my enthusiasm finished...after that it becomes bitter-sweet-musky and annoying with a lot of tonkabean, nutmeg & cedar reminding me - as others reviewers stated - of Armand Basi Homme (better-I have it), YSL Body Kouros (much better-I want it) and what I didn't stand in JPG Le Male.
This recent descovered redundancy made me wonder what I've liked from Burberry Touch in the first place and the answer is simple: I remebered as pleasant only the first 10 minutes (not enough). I'm glad I tested it again and didn't buy it from impulse since I discovered better fragrances (Armand Basi Homme, YSL Body Kouros). My rank 7/10.
This perfume is great. It's perfect for a nice evening getting all dressed up in a date. Love it it's one of my fav. It's sweet and warm!!
I received Touch in a gift box as christmas present a couple years ago.
From the first time I smelled it, I felt fascinated by its warm and gently sweet character.
Then I packed it back in its box and forgot it for a year or so until I was introduced to the magic world of the scents by the awesome site of Fragrantica. It was just this last summer that I got motivated to try Touch again and I found it so sickly sweet and powdery. Then I thought that it was hot like 30C so that's probably the reason why it was so overwhelmingly sweet and boy how do I hate overly sweet perfumes!
So I packed it back in its box for a second time and waited for a cooler season like the one we have these days here in Greece. Today I wore it at work and I found it warm and sweet but not overpowering as now we have only about 13C. In fact, I didn't expect it to be so balanced and rounded in character. More surprisingly, the longevity of the scent on me is phenomenal, it still projects even 12 hours after application!
I can understand why some people here have commented negatively on the perfume, so I believe that if you give it a chance during cold and humid weather conditions, you would probably appreciate better the warm embrace of this scent.
It starts sweet but then the sweetness sets in a balanced combination to a woody and mild spicy blend that stays for hours and hours providing a wonderful cosy feeling. In that combination, the tonka powdery effect gets probably a bit too much but it never gets heavy or overpowering.
A really gently warm and woody scent for those cosy christmas nights with your beloved ones.
My overall rating: 7/10
this cologne is too sweet !i gave away
Probably some people dont really like this one, but Honestly i love the smell.. It's woody and long lasting..but you should know how to splash it on your body especially the spot that really effective and retain the fragrance.. One of my favourite collections..
A bit sweet, smells like Le Male, but without that heavy vibe. Touch smells good and I've had compliments both days I've worn it. I get a bit of lavender and violet in the scent, and overall I can say I'm very happy with the purchase. It's sweet without smelling girly. Sillage and longevity are pretty solid as well. It stays on my skin. I would say a safe blind buy as long as you're not afraid of a somewhat sweet, mildly powdery cologne. That's not a knock on it, Burberry Touch is a quality frag.
One of the best woody fragrance ever.
Excellent.
I strongly recommend.
SO SWEET AND WOODY!SORT A LIKE ME!LMAO
BURBERRY make one of the most beautiful note of mosk.
The parfume itself it didn't impressed me at all.
It is not as feminine as so many people said, but not for a real hairy male...and it is not so unique...powder, soap...not so.
LONDON is waaaaaayy better.
Burberry Touch; as it is obvious from its name that it is calm and soft something meant for close contacts but i think it didn't work. I am not pleased with the fragrance because it is not original and unique in its concept, similar to so many sweet toned fragrances like le male. I have recently used Aigner black and Touch is very similar to this in its mid notes especially, but aigner black is more mature on contrary Touch is Fresh and airy in the begining; the mid notes are quite good to smell and has got some vibrancy later on after about 10-15 min the Touch become so much sweet and powdery like some baby talcum powder and stays there for rest of its trail. Nonetheless, it may inspire few but not many. To me it is for casual wear, has nothing to do with Romance and Intimacy at all.
I give it 6 out of 10.
Guys...If you like this scent by all means wear it -- the ladies will swoon! I give it 4 STARS!!
Touch by burberry
this is in my top 10 ! i love this stuff its probably best for a fall night or a spring night probably because of how spicy it is, this projects pretty good, itts not the best for projection but its okay,
at the top of the notes you get lots of spices with some musk and a spicyish cedar and a almost like a white pepper smell to it, the notes that are spicy in this for me are the violet leaf the white pepper and the musk mixed together but the cedar and musk make it almost powdery and spicy at the same time, its very different i like it very much i think i blind bought this about a month ago i was very happy with this cologne, burberry never has dissapointed me yet,
i have not experimented enough with this to know how long it lasts but its over 8 hours for sure but im going to put N/A for now, i really love this cologne its perfect for a night out with a girl in my opinion, LADYKILLERRRR!.
ratings-
Longevity-N/A
Projection 8.6/10
Overall smell- 9.2/10
once again, love this stuff.
Hope this helped!
Has lot of similarity with le male in softer and lighter way.
It's better for work and indoors places.
Get lot of compliment.
Longevity and projection seems good.
If u dont care for quality,uniqueness and u just want a "nice" scent,go for it.
Dedicated to under 20; an absolute teenage item.
It smells exactly like soaps and shampoos in a hot bathroom. I can only smell softened cedar and maybe violet leaf, because it smells so leafy. So weak and without personality, just reminds clean children when they get out of bathroom with their yellow ducks! A soft skin that hasn't experienced being touched by hot wild sun yet and you can observe their tiny veins around their shiny innocent eyelids! Just like its designs, Burberry launched the most boring perfume I've ever seen instead of London.
longevity 7/10
sillage 5/10
scent 1/10
very powdery, weak, lasts maybe 4 hours, nothing special here, extrememly unisex almost to the point where it basically smells like a girls perfume, disappointing coming from the burberry line
Smells like African Pride hair grease. Nothing i want to spray on me. sorry...
This a good fragrance, but, too young, in my oppinion it's suitable for teenagers to 18 or 20 years old. The smell of baby powdery it's really present in the fragrance.
Rainy spring day
You are sitting inside, looking at the rain falling down in your green garden outside. You got a little window open, you get a whiff of the smell outside.
At the same time, you can smell some powder in the air inside.
- That's what it smells like
Fresh and comfortable
I love this fragrance! Have been using it since 17 and still whenever I put it on it brings back some of the best memories I've ever had, I literally get flashbacks when I smell it. I like how it starts off very delicate and powdery and instead of fading away it gets stronger and more spicy with very noticeable notes of white pepper. This might be a silly thing to say but to me it feels like it's my personality trapped in a bottle. I've been using it for eight years now and I still get complimented on it all the time.
Another silly baby powder bomb disguised as men's cologne- yuck!
This fragrance is like a fingerprint or signature, & leaves a lasting impression. Love it. Unfortunately every time I put it on it reminds me of the person on whom I had first smelled it....hence the fingerprint impression. So I had to stop wearing it, lol. It's a great scent for men! Very alluring & inviting.
I can see why people love it, and I can see why people hate it.
Me, i'm a bit in the middle.
It's really woody, rainy, with violet and some pepper tones complementing it well. Makes me think of fishermen and the sea. But not in the "uh this smells like fish" kind of way :) ofcourse.
My girlfriend love this parfume on me. Personally i'm not the one for very woody scents. I do however occasionally like it in small amounts.
It's mature, strong, unique, and have a loooong longevity. So be careful to not take too much, in which case it will give you a headache.
For people who like woody scents I def recommend this. I will not be buying it again however. Overall: 5/10
I LOVE this juice! This is an extremely romantic smell. It is very nice on my skin, but it stays close, and is certainly masculine even though it is a "prettier" smell. Take a whiff and you can just sense the quality of this stuff. It is perfect for you and your loved one to enjoy together. In my opinion this smell is on the same playing field as Le Male but for very different reasons. I don't think many guys my age (earlier 20s) are wearing this but I don't know why. Awesome, well done Burberry.
A woody/oriental I would say is this one. It's very nice indeed. Evolves into a smell that reminds me of Le Male or Armand Basi Homme. Longevity is good. Yes, this is a really nice cologne for men.
I think one of the best perfumes since 2000!!! So classic, so woody, so spicy!!!!!!! A classic perfume for classic men... Very satisfied with!!!
This fragrance made me feel sick, too sweet!
Very classy scent. One of my best. Almost signature fragrance. Great longevity. Soapy? No... Masculinity without hairy chest. For conneseurs.
Very moderate and ordinary like many others in the market, after 1 or 2 hours max turns in to a baby lotion,some thing powdery and baby soap type thingi.
Longevity is Fair. Good for people who like light scents.
Sillage is just ok.
5/10
i'm in my early 20's and i received this perfume as a birthday gift. i am surprised by how pleasant it smells. it reminds me of new t-shirt and everything new. a very young soft scent. i'm gonna stay with this for long.
This is one of my favorite man fragrance, This kind of mint-woody-warm-musk touch drive me crazy!
I like the way green notes and spices are combined so perfectly. Burberry touch isn't a very aggressive scent, is a beautiful and soft woody parfum, a bit oriental in my opinion. Lasting power is great!
Went to the outlet mall to test this scent. I am a woman ( not manly by any means) but love mens cologne and hate, hate women's perfumes. They give me such a headache and are horrible. BTW - who ever invented Poison perfume should be put away for life. :-) When I tested it out on the card they gave the scent lasted a long time. And yes, it has a powdery, floral fragrance to it but I think it is nice for a man or woman. So I ordered it online. I also wear Kenneth Cole Reaction, T-Shirt and New York which are great fragrances. (not too manly smelling either).
Ladies - Don't be afraid to try out men's fragrances. I am sure you will like them more than the women's scents.
Please guys.Do not choose this one as a signature scent...
It is really baby-powdery,not in a good way and it strangely gives off a feel of sloppiness and bad taste...
it makes me want to literally throw up the first time i even dabbed it on myself. way too strong is such a wrong way. I couldnt get it off me until i showered. i dont know what a man needs to tell the world by wearing this one.
not my pair of shoes... it's powdery, soapy and sweet. i like those particular notes separately but not in killing combo. it's too much for me but i can imagine that le male & 212 sexy fans like it.
I've just received it and it really remembers me of Le Mâle and Moschino Uomo? Not bad at all. A little bit powdery.
Now I've heard it said this is quite a feminine smell and I agree. I bought a miniature bottle for myself which sadly leaked away thru a faulty cap and I haven't replaced it yet. For me it is almost... almost... like some of my long-lost faves. Something of the Climat by Lancome or the Elegance by Avon ( I adored this as a child and had some in a brown glass turtle bottle, we're talking over 30 years ago, sweet!). Anyway whatever it is ,I found this an old-fashioned, unique, unusual, warm but not sickly feminine scent.
great musk base, well blended and not overly citrusy and long lasting!
this is a total club scent, its wood notes really balance the musk and florals to give a very alluring side to this fragrance
I just adore this one.. it smells mostly fruity and a little flowery but really hypnotically.
Hint, that soapy, powdery aroma is known in the European barber shop. Don't worry, it's masculine yet modern. It's like a stroll through the British Museum of Art, the Royal Family Library or manicured Gardens before fox hunting. The cattle rustler might not wear this, but the RANCH OWNER would! We both like it on him. We've discovered we like a variety of scents depending on the mood and occassion. This one is class, elegance and relaxation. Enjoy.
does smell kinda powdery yet masculine , last very long , elegant and warm recommend for night wear
I was buying Euphoria today and the lady at the counter suggested me to sample it. I thought she messed up and gave me tha female version.Not my type at all. As soon as she put it on tha paper i put it down and said no thank you.
I tested touch last week and guess what?...it still lasts on the paper! so i just ordered it online...i'm too picky when it comes to men's frangrance and i want THE BEST for my man (the one that i've loved so far for him was hugo boss bottled...)he's so excited that i will buy him another perfume for a change! :-)
so a few words to describe touch; sexy, unique, masculin! i guess that's the scent of a mature latin lover...absolutely sensual!
This was very disappointing and I had to give it to my brother in law who liked it. It smells for me as a female perfume, powdery,floral...yakk...resembles of Le Male,from JPG,another terribly disusting scent.
Very long lasting! I love it on my man he smells fresh, clean, and its not overpowering. It isn't quite feminine but it is not a woodsy dark leathery smell some men like, personally I hate the musky leather smell. Touch is intimate and pleasing to a women's nose on a daily basis, at night he will switch it out to something heavier and more traditional masculine.
woody and strong, a bit feminine. All Burberry colognes are long-lasting.
this burberry is not good at all.
it smells like baby wipes and after a few hours the smell has all evaporated.
disapointed.
smells very nice........i love it.....masculine yet no so strong
Love it, my favorite Burberry.
good smell but feminine, baby powder, soapy...for me
This is not a good one for me, it smells like baby powder and It´s too strong, the one good thing is that it´s very long lasting. Definitely not for young men
A real surprise..it is hypnotic.
It opens with fresh,aromatic notes, a bit hesperides. Then instead of faiding away, it comes a woody part, a bit spicy...you can really feel the cedar wood that match perfecly with the pepper. The bottom is very warm, a bit oriental and very sensual...
I really like it because is one of the most longlasting perfume I've ever put on me...it lasts from early mornint till when I go to the gym after work at evening. It is very sensual and likes a lot to women too!!
