Touch for Women

I finally got it! Very contradictory feelings at first and love at last. So I met this perfume about 5 years ago at Marshall's or Tj Maxx (don't remember exactly where) and there were half bottle of the juice left in the tester and no cap, so i surely couldn't purchase it and couldn't even understand if it was a male or female perfume back then, was just walking around and sniffing the bottle and really loving the unusual smell, however no luck, i didn't find the "for sale" bottle of it and left the store without the charming smell. So 5 years later I still remember the smell and the cozy feeling it gave me. It smelled like a magic house in the woods. Very cozy and very woody. You walking out of the house, the Autumn morning, the mist is all around you and the woods.... Tall, magical pine trees... ( I don't smell the pine trees now, but that's just the feeling it gave me). So eventually I remembered this perfume and started looking up the bottle (i did remember it good) and bingo it happened to be Burberry Touch. I just got my 100ml bottle delivered and couldn't wait to experience that cozy woody feeling again. However it opened up differently on my skin. At first (and im very sorry, the scent is gorgeous thou) i got a really cheap men cologne attacking my nose. That fresh one that they use as a bathroom refresher. Really bad. Why do people use the colognes at the bathrooms anyways? Could never get it) Then i sprayed again, this time on my clothes, and now I can smell the blackberries, black currant leafs and rainy forest and this is sooooo gorgeous and soooo comforting, so calming and cozy. Very beautiful smell indeed. This is my first review and even my dearest Si Lolita didn't inspire me to write one yet, but the Touch did. Really enjoying it this very moment. Update: i let it rest for a couple of hours, then sprayed on the skin and clothes and there you go- pure pleasure!!!! wet blackcurrant leafs, oakmoss and blackberries, little sour but just a tiny bit and that feeling... walking in a pair of rubber boots and a woolen sweater down the misty Autumn forest.... Very magical! Oh, how I'm in love!!! Surprisingly don't want to wear anything and smell anything but Touch. I feel it's going to be a binge. More than that! My friend gave me a giftcard to my local perfume store yesterday and I don't want to buy any other perfumes!!! Never happened to me before. I just don't want anything but this magical feeling the scent gives me. Miracle

You'll never read me saying - 'You're wrong, I'm right.' regarding any fragrance, ever. But...there are times when I'll say something akin to - 'I truly cannot understand what you guys are experiencing, and disagree with your perception entirely.' This is one of those times. I don't relate to any of the unsavory remarks about this perfume whatsoever. But, I was admittedly, more intrigued *because* of them (and not in spite of them). I went out to my car to check perfume sites and get a feel for what this might have in store for me before returning to Ross to purchase it. And FWIW, all of the perfume sites/resources I checked have conflicting notes (this is not an uncommon occurrence, but it's annoying...I have my suspicions as to which is more correct or incorrect, but I'm gonna stay quiet about that). All of this to say, reviews are all over about this, references disagree as to the notes, and it's seemingly a polarizing fiasco. Naturally, I was completely compelled and purchased it, hah! I love this. It's a seemingly incongruent batch of notes, but it works. It's not nearly as cedar-y or sharply woody as I anticipated, nor as fruity. In fact, I get barely any fruits whatsoever in the opening, and it goes STRAIGHT into a plushy, almondy, powdery sandalwood blend. I get NO pepper. No pink pepper. Nothing spicy and/or red. The entire composition feels 100% beige to me. People have claimed this is masculine. And...I vehemently disagree. I'm actually struck by how sensually femme it is. "Touch" is a FANTASTIC title. It's clean, feminine, dry (I'd love to wear this when it's rainy) and reminiscent of cleaned and lotioned skin. However, it's not a modern "your skin, but better" (I'm so sick of that phrase, gag me...), it smells dated (which isn't criticism, it's refreshing). Like lotion or body oils from the Y2K era. Weirdly, I don't find any references to orris, but it's what I would've bet money on it containing. This is the kind of scent I admired as a kid. I was either 8, 9 or 10 when this was launched (again, the sources on this are a mess and disagree). As a child though, I was exposed to this sort of thing, but never wore it. To to have this bottle now is a fabulous and nostalgic gift to myself (this was my bday present to myself). I'm very happy with this, had a great gut feeling about it, and I'm thrilled that I listened.

I have had this for over a year, and can't believe that I have not written a review yet. This is a very interesting scent. On me, it opens it a rather vetiver scent that tickles the nose. The oakmoss and cedar here, hard at work. That tickle in your nose is the pink pepper. I agree with many of the reviewers who say it is soapy-- as the cutting woods fade a little, the scent does take on a soap-like quality. But it is hard to capture in words what this perfume does. The flowers are blended so well that I can not pick any of them out. The soap-like aspect could be the tuberose. There is an underlying sweetness, the tonka and vanilla? Not overly sweet, but a sweet that draws you to it, like the way angelfood cake smells--when you are making it from scratch, or the way chocolate cookies smell when they have been in the oven for 5 minutes. 45 minutes after I spray this on, I can't get enough of it. For the first half an hour, it is too close to my nose, too fresh and strong. After the 30 minute mark, I notice the cedar retreating into the background and the warm floral scent coming forward. The pepper hangs around tickling my nose. In the summer, the cedar is more refreshing on humid days, while the rest of the scent is too heavy for humid weather, but together, it works. I am not sure when I like to wear this the most, it doesn't really change from season to season...If I am in the mood for this warm embrace, I can wear it any time it strikes me. I have many other scents that seem to be heat and humidity specific. If I can not figure out which scent I am in the mood for, this is the perfume I go to. It is warm, without being too warm, spicy with out burying me, and floral without making me fear bees ;) I love that about this scent--I am not locked into a season.

Green Summer Spice with a Woody Vintage Twist... Opens with a peppery burst of red-pepper, fruits & rose oil, that deepens into a fruity-floral heart that leans to white-floral, resting on a floral support base of cedar & oakmoss. The overall effect in the first stages here is a green floral, with some spiciness and some sweetness. As it dries down, the pepperiness fades a little, while the woods & dustiness of oakmoss is more evident, followed by the vanillic sweetening of almond-tonka bringing near-cherry tones that enhances the red-berry aspect. Alongside there's a faint vintage vibe where some will catch reminders of lightly spicy '90s scents like Allure Chanel, Truth Calvin Klein or Intuition Estée Lauder (although this isn't a dupe of anything). Overall: This has good projection for the first 3-4 hours, after which it becomes a skin scent for a few more hours, perfect for a light summer wearing experience. While some spicy scents can evoke the holidays, this one has a decidedly summertime feel, with a unique, beautiful & refreshing scent profile that's a great summer option for those who like spicy scents. It's a longtime love for me, and one of the best offerings from the House of Burberry. Enjoy! Update 07/04/24: Wearing this one today. The last few times I've worn this I've noticed it's really evolved in the bottle to become a lot sweeter & woodier with more pronounced reminders of some of the woody/woody-green based scents of the 90s although again it's not a dupe. Also now has a little bit stronger performance, and it's at the point where it could be worn year round. Still a love.

Touch is rather dry, powdery and woody. The opening is savory, mossy, slightly sour with a hint of red fruit which makes a counterpoint to the woody and peppery notes. I can also smell a generous shower of bitter citrus and a bit of rose for the first half an hour or so. The citrus and red fruit mingle with cedar, vanilla and god knows what else, it's an entire forest. Strangely enough no tonka bean mentioned by Burberry, but they cannot trick me into thinking its just cedar and vanilla. This dry down is very different from the cedar-vanilla of Burberry for Women. It's powdery woods and (not the baking type) vanilla, topped with moss and sour-sweet berries. I would have never guessed there are so many floral notes, they must have gotten lost in the woods, tangled in the berry bushes and covered with damp moss. If it was music, it would be Metronomy's Everithing goes my way (plus the video to the song). Touch was certainly not a love at first sniff, but I missed it to the point of adding it to my wardrobe. It is reserved and calming after the invigorating opening. The sillage is moderate to skin scent at the end of the day, with excellent longevity. Not one to be over-applied. Could be a year-round fragrance, but I see it geared towards autumn/winter, with its cozy dry woody notes. Versatile enough for any occasion. And just to state the obvious, the bottle is so nice to look at, with its wooden stopper and basic lines. The simple Burberry for women remains my favorite, but Touch provides me with a break from its ambery juicy softness.

My friend got this off TT shop, I smelled hers and thought it was nice. Then they started flooding the discount stores. I decided why not. Since I have got a full size Her, smaller sized Burberry Woman, London, & Weekend. I like this house, next I want My Burberry. I have Angham, so no need for Goddess. I like this a lot, but sometimes I am just not in the mood for this type scent. I have a couple other scents that this hints to, I am the same about them. I love the notes of this. The berry combo up top is lead by the black currant, with a splash of freshness from the cranberry peaking in enough to keep it from being syrupy. The pepper actually tickles my nose the first couple minutes, it too keeps it grounded and provides a great opening for the florals. The mid brings the soapy white florals and a sweet peony. The mid is owned by the peach, peach with black currant is a strong combo bc they don’t go away. They mix with the vanilla and cedar, taking it down to meet the white soapy florals. The dry down is nice, very intimate, hence Touch. This is not a slap you in your face fragrance. You will have a lil bubble, but not trailing through rooms. It is a strong dna done softly, if that makes sense. Longevity is good, solid, you will get a work day out of it. You will smell nice, warm, & clean when ya person leans in welcoming you home. 9/10

What a great find! This was actually a blind buy for me, and I'd say it's a safe blind buy for anybody who likes "clean", musky scents, skin-like scents (for example, Armani Lei). This is such a comforting, cozy scent for me. It smells a bit like BO, but in the best way; the body odeur of someone who's very very clean. It doesn't have a musk note per se, but the effect that is created is very musky, in the true sense of the word. Because of that, I imagine it can work for anyone, women and men of all ages. Day & night. It's peppery fresh, but very grounded in woods. In the first hour it's like a sandwich that you can smell all at once: zing of a pepper mixed with slight acidity of berries - soft slightly flowery, powdery, Nivea-like lotion smell - woods and moss. After that it smells like powdery clean woods and vanilla, in the coziest way. It's sophisticated, unexpected, and gives the perfect dose of freshness for a cold winter. I love it. It has the same type of comforting mellow mossy-woody note that is in Burberry's older perfumes (Woman, Brit and even London). I wish Burberry kept making fragrances like that, instead of the horrible vanilla monster that is Goddess. In three words, I would describe this fragrance as: Clean; Comforting; Peppery

Now, Burberry Touch was my second Burberry fragrance to enter my collection back in December 2018, purchased without sampling for a reasonable price, that was after I had consulted Fragrantica and Burberry's website for the notes list. The bottle cap gave me a rough idea of what to expect from the scent; woody, I was not wrong! Burberry Touch is a wonderful woody floral scent, its warm, crisp and has this "walk in the woods" earthiness to it, theres also a spiced orange nuance which actually would make this totally acceptable to wear during the Christmas period. The opening reminds me a little bit of Dune by Dior, I think its the woody mossy notes mixed with the white florals and the red pepper, this is also a very well blended scent in that I cannot, aside from the woody/mossy notes, single out any specific notes. The overall feeling is a warm, comforting scent which feels like being sat by a roaring fire after having a shower with citrus shower gel, wearing clean pyjamas and being wrapped in a soft, cosy blanket that was kept in a cedar blanket box. The longevity is very good with 10 hours of wear and a moderate/strong silage, the price is reasonable too. Its a perfect winter comfort scent, "Touch" is a very apt name for this one

I absolutely love Burberry Touch and I enjoy all of my Burberry fragrances! They are classic. Touch is one of my all time favorites! All weather, most occasion fragrance for me. I usually don't reach for it if I have a more formal event but then that's a rare occasion for me. I always get positive comments when I wear it! To my nose it's unique, tart, somewhat fruity and spicy with the pepper yet cozy and warm with the almond and tonka being slightly sweet and prominent at the dry down. Beautiful! I want to add that if you buy Burberry fragrances my experience has been that the bottles made in France are of better quality than the ones made in Germany. I don't know if they reformulated or changed up the notes but they are not the same. My current bottles of Weekend for women, London for women and Burberry Touch for men are made in Germany and to my nose are not exactly the same as the ones that I had before made in France. Their performance on my skin is weak. Yet I have a bottle of Burberry Brit Rhythm (LOVE!) made in France that has excellent performance. Simply my personal observations here. Thankfully I bought a couple of Touch for women backups made in France so I can enjoy it for quite some time!

O WOW am I loving this one! I loved it on first sniff. It is a unique blend of berry and floral which to me each note is not discernible, however, it is so well blended that the best I can describe this fragrance is a tangy floral with sweet, musky woody undertones. Very persistent fragrance on clothing and a bit less so on my skin but it still lasts on me a good 6 plus hours. A warm cozy scent perfect for literally any informal occasion as well as any business situation. Totally inoffensive yet perfectly unique and lovely. I can't stop sniffing this one! 10/2020 I love this fragrance SO MUCH that I just bought my third bottle! It's one of my absolute favorites! I adore the cedar note, I love the peppery top note combined with the cassia and berries! Stunning fragrance and it lasts on me! I can smell it hours after application, others can smell it as well, it is my most complimented fragrance. Totally love it!!

I have moderate success with the house of Burberry but I tend to avoid it because of its enormous mass appeal as a designer. I do really like London and Weekend and I acquired Touch in a blind swap from a wonderful Fragrantican! I find Touch to be my perfect skin scent! It's feminine but not "pink". It is simple but not boring. To my nose I find it equally floral, fruity and woody, very balanced, interesting but not quite "simple". It doesn't evolve much to me and is universally pleasing. I tend to gravitate to "different" cautiously daring scents but sometimes I long for a "simple" fragrance that doesn't say anything but "you smell really good". Touch is all that but really isn't that simple. It's safe, familiar and comforting, your loved ones will love snuggling up to you and inhaling this aroma, but it not common and boring. I think I actually "love" this one. :-D

My son gave me this perfume for my birthday. It is the first gift he buys for me, with his own hard earned money... therefore, ladies, imagine how I love Burberry Touch. Regarding the smell: yes, it is innocent, pure and feminine, nothing complicated or sophisticated but I am impressed by this harmless and soft juice that lasts in me from four to six hours. I'm wearing Touch right now. My friend Alicia just left the office, and before she left, she told me exactly this: I loved your perfume this morning, but now I like it a lot more. Touch becomes softer as the day goes by. It is charming and elegant at the same time, like a whisper of fresh air. I like it very much. And about the emotional load of this juice: if I have to spray a fragrance in my heart, Touch is the one, because it is a treasure that I will keep forever ...

Different, and unexpected. This fragrance reminds me of a crisp Spring morning during a light drizzle. The berry and pitted fruit accords are pleasantly prominent, with the light mossy basenotes of oakmoss and wet cedar trailing behind. The fruits blend harmoniously with soft tuberose and warm vanilla. The spice of the pepper are apparent all throughout the overall fragrance and is the thing that makes you go "What is that?" this spicy fragrance is sexy special in the evening without being too spicy for daytime office attire if you are daring. I love it. It's one of my favorite Burberry fragrances anytime of the year.

I was hesitant on trying this but I'm glad I wasn't scared off. First thing you've gotta know about this scent is that it's not sickly sweet. It's barely sweet. It starts off quite peppery. It melts into this woody, vanilla masterpiece. It's certainly not very floral on me nor fruity. The vanilla is like a mature vanilla. I don't know why but I get a whiff of leather? It's not smoky but powdery. I don't know how else to describe it. The best way to describe it is cozy. The scent also fades from your viewpoint but everyone else can still smell it. Careful not to overspray this one. I've gotten a lot of compliments.

I love this! It's a nice fresh change from my usual gourmands. It reminds me a bit of Clinique Aromatics in Black, as well as Burberry for her EDP. ( In a very toned down way). It opens with fresh, greenery and citrus notes. The drydown for me is actually a bit powdery and soft with a bit of vanilla amidst the oakmoss and cedar. It fit in perfectly with the walk I enjoyed at sunset with my dogs tonight. Crunching through the falling leaves which have just begun to turn their shades of autumn. Burberry touch is a bit on the moody, melancholy side...great for fall or overcast days. So glad I found this gem.

Soft, comforting, woody & creamy dumb-reach fragrance for any season. I keep wearing this because I'm just not in the mood for anything else. A lot of people seem to find this headache-inducing but to me it's the complete opposite. This is what I reach for when I just want something lowkey that I won't regret spraying no matter what. It's not too 'perfumey' and would be great for work. And unlike a lot of other inoffensive, soft fragrances this is not boring to me at all. This is sooo cheap just go ahead and blind buy it.

You get the sharper, woody and fresh scents at first, then it simmers out with the florals. A more unisex scent for women. I remember my mom gifted it to me in middle school and my classmates said I smell "weird", so I put it back on her bureau and never touched it for years. Flash forward to college and I'm trying to steal one of her perfumes, and I pick up this bottle again to try it again. I realized that I loved it and snatched a 3.3 oz bottle from Walmart. The bottle is simple and the wood finish cap is a nice touch.

I bought this at the airport because it was cheap. It went straight up there as my favourite fragrance. I love it becuase it does not scream fragrance but it rather smells like I used Nivea lotion so it never come across as trying too hard. To be honest that is the thing I dislike about most fragrances, that I feel like Id be smelling like the latest fragrance hit and desperately trying to be something that Im not. I like my fragrance to be substle enough so it morpfs into me so it is so subtle but pleasant. This is it.

Touch reminds me a lot of Cashmere Mist. It's one of those soft, cuddly, skin enveloping scents that wraps you up in soft coziness. Cedar and musk make this warm and inviting, and this is one of those scents that can be worn year round as it is so clean and inoffensive. Feminine, clean, soft, and comforting would be good ways for me to describe Touch. This lasts about 6 hours on me and I never really worry about over spraying with this as isn't at all headache inducing.

On first spray I absolutely hated this and thought I had made a mistake in blind buying it. But I decided to give it a fair shot and tried it on, and I'm so glad I did. The pepper is super strong initially, almost gives me bug spray, but if you can brave the first five minutes, it dries down into a slightly spicy sweet smell. It doesn't lean shampoo on me in the slightest, and it's different from everything else I have in a wonderful way. I'd reccomend giving it a try!
