Touch by Fred Hayman

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. :)
