Touch Fred Hayman for women

This is gorgeous, but powerful fragrance that I wear only in winter, and especially during the holidays as it smells absolutely Christmas-y to me. If you hose it on, it's could be an in-your-face experience for your neighbors, so it's not to wear to the theater or to crowded resturants, but it's fabulous to go dancing, walking around looking at Christmas decorations, with an appreciative significant other, or just to feel romantic by yourself. ALWAYS worth trying a test vial, trust me. This is a biggie.

a friend of mine used to wear this all the time. I don't know if she wore to much or if it just didn't suit her, but I disliked it intensely and there are not many perfumes that I don't like. One day, because of the price and great reviews, I bought it blind off line. Even if I didn't like it I could give it to my friend and it didn't cost very much. Well imagine my surprise when I put it on and wore it a little while. It is delightful. A lot of orange blossom and carnation, and orchids, all some of my favorite notes and the dry down is lovely too. A rich and sophisticated floral with a hint of sandalwood. A little does go a long way and it is very affordable. I am so glad I gave this perfume a chance. Some have said it smells a lot like EA Red Door. I used to love Red Door but a relative told me it smelled terrible on me and I haven't wore it since. This may become my new Red Door.

Laundry soap citrus on me. It's got the benefit of being soapy, crisp, bright and happy,but I really don't want to smell like my laundry soap, so I'll pass on this one. Seems to work better on others, so do test it before you buy the whole bottle.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! I THINK THIS COULD BE IT! I AM GOING TO BUY A VERY VERY VERY LARGE BOTTLE. : )

Another bit of info:

Touch includes:
aldehydes, orange blossom, plum, green notes, peach, bergamot and lemon; middle notes are carnation, violet, orchid, damask rose, orris root, jasmine, ylang-ylang and lily-of-the-valley; base notes are sandalwood, amber, musk, civet, vanilla, vetiver and cedar

Red Door Includes:
ylang-ylang and red rose, at its heart; orchid, jasmine, lily-of-the valley, orange blossom, wild violet and freesia. The base is composed of honey, sandalwood and vetiver.

So they actually do contain a lot of the same notes! :)Happy Sniffing!

To my nose this smells IDENTICAL to Elizabeth Arden's Red Door. Very heavy, strong sillage, dry down is nice and warm like Escada Margaretha Ley. My sister wears Red Door all the time and is one of those people that has chemistry it works with. When I bought this blind sniffed my first thought was that they had mistakenly stuck RD juice in my Touch bottle! :)
It is a pleasant smell to me, but heavy...I wouldn't wear this to church or in any confining spaces or you may give someone a headache. Cheers!

Alas,I was prepared to write words that would carress ur ears but,NO>This fume for all its notes is really just a clean soapy scent,beginning to end.Very light,even with the civet.JUst not much scent at all!

This perfume was an underplayed drama in three acts on my skin:

Act I--White Linen (there is a definite similarity here, at least in the top notes);

Act II--Deodorant soap;

Act III--Something that wasn't quite vanilla, and wasn't quite pepper, with a twist of orange...and then exited stage left almost as quickly as it came.

This smells much better after it settles in ur skin.First spray,I couldnt even smell it.It has some lovely notes and would b good for work.I dont think it would take very much either.

I have been making friends with Touch for five months now, as I pick it up and try it every now and then but do not decide to put it away.
On first application it is a bright sunny floral, with the peaches, lemon and aldehydes; there is something sunny in the top notes which never quite disappears, but lingers softly along the drydown. There is just a hint of mouthwatering something (grapefruit-peach?) which renders Touch almost as sunny as Clinique's Happy, but only during the middle notes phase. I get the musk, vetiver and sandalwood, not the vanilla in the drydown.
It has overall a dry quality (vetiver,carnation, rose, cedar, tea even if not listed) which holds it at a high standard keeping it away from girlish associations and gives it that crisp feeling (à la White Linen). I consider it to be a bright, crisp perfume very safe for work if not overapplied and good for summer time.

i read the reviews here and became very interested in Touch; so i sought it out lusting for a fragrance which is both beautiful and inexpensive. i admit i even had a few dreams of what it would be like to wear Touch.

i finally found touch two days ago and i had to pinch myself when i heard the price; it was so inexpensive i couoldn't believe my ears.

when i recovered my composure i said "i'll have" then something spoke into my ears "never buy perfume without testing it first!" so i amended my previous declaration "i'll buy after smelling it". And thank goodness for that because this scent was not what i had anticipated at all.

the only notes i detected were peach, carnation and pepper (which strangely enough is not listed as a note. the perfume is not at all bad and the sillage is good but it's also no stunner. however, the deal breaker for me was it's lasting power (at least on me) is very poor: less than an hour.

i may give this perfume another try though not anytime soon.

thus, the search for the inexpensive perfume beauty of my dreams continues ...

Touch is one of the cheapest and classy perfumes in my collection. Definitely highly underappreciated. It really gives me the feeling of uniqueness, sophistication and pleasure. I usually avoid fragrances containing aldehydes, but here they are blended so beautifully with the florals, that I cannot detect any. There are mostly lemon, yellow roses, carnation, orchid and jasmine that brng me such a mood boost and old-money feeling. Love it.

This perfume makes me think of perfumes
such as Jean Patou 1000 and Estee Lauder Estee. The perfumes are all absolutely different, however what they share in common is- complexity, refinement, uniqueness, bravery, and a touch of grandeur. The perfume is spicy at just the right moments, the floral notes are unending, the fruity notes are not overly accentuated or sweet. All the underpinnings of sensual notes for the base are velvety and deep. Itś a "big" perfume, as one can imagine by reading the components, however, this perfume creates itś own essence for the wearer, a quiet aura, never an embarrasing cloud. I can smell it on my clothes the next day, although, on my skin, it fades away unexpectedly quickly. I don't mind. This scent is so lucious, itś my pleasure to spray and spray again!

I wanted to try this one because I've read some good things about it at a few of the online stores. The first two notes I picked up on were the soapy aldehydes and rose. I was sort of surprised because I thought I would get plum or peach if I had to guess by the notes. I do pick up on the violet and rose a lot, and it smells like a very beautiful feminine rose soap.

Overall.. I like this one.. it's very pleasant and ladylike. I've only had it on for an hour or two, and I may come back to review after I get around to the dry down of it.

Editing to write that after a few days of wearing this perfume I do smell the peach and plum. The reason why I didn't smell it was because it's not a very strong smelling peachy plum scent.. it's nicely blended with the flowers. The dry down doesn't change much. I get the sandalwood and vanilla.. but it's not strong. It kind of wimps out at the end of the perfume. I do get musk from begining to end though. I'm very happy to add this one to my small collection. :)
