Blue Touch

* Refreshing and long lasting * Cool blend of citrus, herbal, aquatic, fresh, and slight wood notes * Identical in aroma and quality to Acqua di Gio EDT * Excellent price point * Good performer * Designer quality for discounter price * High QPR value * Great for warmer weather * Unisex * Good for all ages and all occasions * Good for those who dislike modern sweet fragrances but don't like fougeres * Lots and lots of competition in the citrus fragrance market * Nothing unique to set it apart from other citrus fragrances (a la Sedley or Maahir Legacy) Blue Touch is a nice refreshing citrus forward fragrance that should immediately remind you of Armani's Acqua di Gio EDT. They are quite literally indistinguishable, I have sprayed both on and can attest to this. This is great if you love Acqua di Gio but not the price point. Night Touch is a cooling blend of citrus, herbal, aquatic, fresh and slight wood notes. It's got very good performance, is unisex, and good for all ages and occasions. It's also good for those who dislike modern sweet fragrances such as the Paco Rabanne Invictus or 1 Million lines but don't care for dry green fougeres like Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, either. It's got the exact right balance between the two styles. This has a great price point and is an absolute no brainer for citrus fragrance lovers. You really can't beat its price point and it gives high QPR value for the dollar with high quality. Really, the only knock against it is that it doesn't add anything to set it apart from the ton of other citrus fragrances on the market, such as a stronger green note the way Sedley and its clone Maahir Legacy do. Still, what you get for your dollar here is comparable to designer quality citrus fragrances. Definite recommend.

HA, this gets heavily compared to AdG! They say this is very much like it. Well...since I have never had AdG but I do have this (go ahead, check my profile.) I would not know what AdG really smells like and I suppose..I never will have to because I HAVE BLUE TOUCH!!! I very much like the Franck Olivier Touch line. They are all very good and seem to be of good quality. Oud Touch is very nice and I have Oud Vanilla on the way. Blue Touch is a classic smelling MEN fragrance. Not green or aromatic as it is fresh. It is spicey and there is a melon off the top to me. I get the aquatic it is portrayed to have. A great summer frag but I think it can be all season. Has a nice woodsy thing at the base. The more I use it the more I like it. Office safe, travel safe and a general all rounder. EDIT 12/12/21 I need to update this because I did, indeed, purchase AdG and am doing a side by side comparison of them. AdG right hand vs FOBT left hand. Out of the gate the AdG smelled better, more crisp BUT after the initial blast, 2-3 minutes they pretty much smell EXACTLY the same and 5 minutes beyond FOBT is stronger and more lively. It is also projecting much better than the AdG. Pound for pound so far I am calling Blue Touch the winner. AdG had a very initial citrus blast right when sprayed and then toned down almost instantly to a dull roar and its normal level. BT lacked that initial citrus blast but it had that soapy clean smell right away. BT maintained the intial projection far longer than AdG. Smelling pretty much the same. If it were a blind test I would not be able to tell the difference. The thing that would clue me in of which one was which, would be that BT is stronger and more projecting.

Remarkable fragrance! My favorite fragrance of all time is Acqua di Gio but I feel this is actually more like the original from the nineties than the current formulation. Clone - I tried Perry Ellis and Paris Hilton, along with another clone. All are good takes on ADG but this is easily without a doubt the best clone (and standalone fragrance) that has been made. The others smell similar but not dead on like this one. Fragrance/scent - Smells like a greener and slightly more sweet/fruity Acqua di Gio, but really it is so close that if I didn't know what I was smelling, I'd think it was the real Acqua di Gio. It isn't just a freshie either, I find that it has some sort of complexity to it. I smell different facets at different times, the lemon. The melon. The wood. And the grassy green notes. For those who don't know ADG: Fresh, summery, nice. Not really aquatic like cool water and not sweet like Invictus aquas.. this is more bitter, fresh and spicy. 90's style. Longevity - Better than current Acqua di Gio. Very strong for a freshie. Price/value - Unbeatable. Quality is through the roof. Blind buy - Yes, it is a safe bet. Verdict: Great fragrance, underrated. I am very pleased that this is not a famous fragrance so I can rock it byt myself. I am so curious about trying more from Franck Olivier now, they seem to put out solid quality fragrances.

At the beginning of spraying the perfume, I smell lemon, bergamot, green notes, as well as tangerine, then the beautiful yellow watermelon (melon) note appears with glimpses of vetiver as well as wood, and then the musk scene prevails. The fragrance is a citrusy, fruity, green, musky, refreshing, sweet, very gentle and simple scent, absolutely safe, that will impress the audience, and fetch compliments. Ideal for hot weather in summer and spring, for all ages, with casual clothes, and for various occasions and situations (exercise, shopping, work, office, university, hiking). Blue touch also appears to be an clone to the famous and successful acqua di gio from Giorgio Armani, which was released in 1996. Their opening notes are almost identical, but in dryness, Blue Touch is more fruity and green than Acqua Di Gio. Although (Blue Touch) perfume has a low price, I did not find its smell synthetic or suffocating or annoying. Rather, I found that the quality of its notes was completely acceptable, with a good longevity of more than 8 hours on the skin and sillage up to three hours. It comes in an elegant and gorgeous bottle in blue color to indicate freshness, and a good spray . A fragrance of hidden gems

So Aqua di Gio used to be my favorite when it came out. I haven't owned it in like 20 years. I work at a 2 year long residential discipleship ministry and I just received my blue touch. I was amazed at how much I was reminded of that old faithful fragrance from back in the day. While I was done throwing away the wrapper I found out that a resident that arrived the same day had Aqua di Gio while I was making sure he had no contraband in his bags. Excited I did a direct comparison between 2 new batches of both 1 good squirt of both. One on each hand. Then I went around and asked several residents which smelled better. It was half and half and they had to go back and forth to determine which scent trumped the other. I haven't worn it a full day, but I played pickle ball and an hour into it Adg was almost all the way gone due to heavy sweating and blue touch was still strong I could still smell it a little after a shower. I kind of like the dry down better. I paid $12 for this. Strong awesome smelling cheap fragrance. I love it. Slightly less peppery slightly more sweet in the dry down.

Just because a fragrance is fresh smelling it automatically gets compared to Aqua Di Gio by Armani. Paris Hilton Just Me for Men. So close that people think I'm actually wearing ADG. Perry Ellis 360 Red sometimes gets confused as well even by ADG lovers. (But suprisingly not as well pefoming as Just Me for Men.) But this is not the case with Blue Touch. Initial spray might remind you slightly of ADG but then it becomes in its own right a beautiful, amazingly clean, green and aromatic aquatic. This fragrance gives Aqua Di Gio a run for it's money. Smell - 9/10 Logivity - 7/10 Sillage - 6.5/10

I've worn ADG off and on since its release in the mid-90s. I've haven't noticed much change to the formulation over the years, but I've tired of it. It's just too widely known to feel unique, almost cliche. I tried Blue Touch a while back and picked up a bottle on the cheap. For me, it breathes new life into the ADG accord. Its longevity and depth are every bit as potent as its inspiration, if not more so. It's delightful. I doubt I'll ever re-purchase the original ADG now that I've found this. For around $20 USD, it's an unbeatable value. Well done Mr. O 💙💙💙💙💙

Shaking my head at some of these reviews based what is probably solely on the first 5 minute opening. Blue touch is Aqua Di Gio 90%+ of the time and lasts 7 hours (11 on my jacket) instead of the reformulated AdG paltry 5h at nearly 4 times the price. Can people nit-pick the opening, sure! But when they're straight up telling you it's miles off its just blatant lying or gatekeeping. I love it, and would say its pretty much blind buy safe. If you want some extra legs over the OG and dont mind the iffy opening, it's a great choice. 8.5/10.

This is the only juvenile/sporty scent I own.. they all just smell so fake. Not sexy to me. (I am all about leather/wood/oud/juniper/pine/petroleum) On this, one spray is all that's needed, it's a beast. I'd actually recommend this more as a clothes spray just so the chems don't hurt your skin over time, and it just smells nice on clothes. It's strong and awesome if this is your kind of thing

I have this one for Christmas and I really like it. This is a very fresh, seductive and clean fragrance. Long lasting aroma, on me stays for almost 8 hours. I had good compliments with it at work or in my casual trips in the city. I have to disagree with the others reviews but to me doesn`t smell like Aqua Di Gio at all. It has its own magical charm and sensuality in a masculine way.

This is fantastic for its low price, this lasts a long time, I applied it once in the summer for work, after a 7 hour work day, a friend asked me if I put ADG on, which she found clones this smell, so consider applying a lot and drinking plenty of water so that it does a good job on your skin. I will buy another bottle without a doubt.

Similar but superior to Acqua de Gio for a much lesser price. Does not smell synthetic or cheap. Longevity reaches 12 hours - 50% more than Acqua de Gio. The scent is 95% similar to the Armani fragrance. The price for me has been 18 Euros + VAT. I know that the Armani bottle is preetier but the Blue Touch juice is better.

Esto simplemente es una maravilla,Acqua di gio? para que si hoy en día huele sintética, Frank Olivier Blue Touch huele realmente a calidad, la verdad me sorprendió mucho, pues mi novia la prefirió por encima incluso de bleu de chanel wow, me quedé asombrado, para conquistar esto es genial...

Una excelente fragancia, dicen que es un clon de Acqua di Gio, la verdad no la conozco, pero esto tiene mucha calidad y por el precio wow... No lo piensen día veces, es una delicia de fragancia, muy natural, nada sintética, dura unas 6-8 en mi piel, en días calurosos.

90% ADG 10% Kenneth Cole REACTION Great freshy especially if you live in hot climates.This stuff is awesome. It's not a beast performer but it isn't weak either. A good 5-6 hours and for the price, it's a no brainer

ooo this fragrance smells like fresh lemons on a summer day in july. A beautiful utmost fragrance while staying at a decent price. i give this a 4/5 I enjoy it quite well. This fragrance shall fill my summer.

Exquisito perfume cítrico ,muy similar a aqua de gio pero con una mejor fijación y duración,fue un descubrimiento para mi ,amo este perfume y a la mayoría de personas les encanta ,recibirás muchos cumplidos.

pretty sure i got a bad batch because mine lasts an hour with no projection. i had high hopes because of everyone saying its beast mode and you only need one spray but it sucks. the smell is good however.

closest ull get to acqua di gio edt, but with great longevity and decent projection. for the price is perfect

The most accurate dupe of ADG OG with good performance as well. 9/10 for the scent and the price.

Didn't believe the performance, it is really better than its similars

Fresh and blue. Better than EDG for sure.

Blue Touch de Franck Olivier es una fragancia fresca y amaderada, con una sensación olfativa un poco más intensa que la original y de quien copia el adn casi al 100% (Aqua Di Gio). Su inicio es casi indiferenciable entre ambas, estando la nota de salida repleta de cítricos como el limón, la bergamota y la mandarina. También se perciben aromas verdes junto a la pimienta rosa que aporta un equilibrio entre lo cítrico y una transición perfecta hacia las notas del cuerpo donde predomina lo amaderado como el vetiver, la madera y el pachuli (olor terroso-amaderado). En las notas finales (el corazón) lo que predomina pasada las 6 horas son los aromas terrosos, cálidos y un poco dulces, aportando una sensación exquisita a lujo. Esta es una opción excelente de remplazo y el clon más exacto de Aqua Di Gio. Muchos consideran que su duración en piel es por mucha diferencia más longeva que la del adn original, además que el precio es menor sin perder calidad.

Acqua Di Gio. Absolutely NO difference here! Smells great! If you've ever smelled ADG before...there's nothing else to add to the smell of this because it's literally that fragrance in a blue bottle. I get great longevity with this! About 6-7 hours depending on amount of sprays and sillage is great too. A good 3 or 4 feet projection for the first 3-4 hours. A GREAT BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!! I got the big 3.4 ounce bottle for like $14 or $15 on Ebay, still sealed in the plastic. Great buy everybody! If you like the smell of ADG and don't care about the materialistic part of having a more expensive brand to display in your house...then save the extra money and buy this one! Shower fresh! Great gym fragrance! Great everyday fragrance! Great summer fragrance. Really, extremely versatile all around. Can't beat it! 9/10

I really enjoyed the original Aqua Di Gio, my last bottle of the original is batch UC283 from 2006 and the "remaining" 3 drops inside it are putrid oxidized golden brown - that happens when you have way more oxygen than fragrance inside the bottle. It was perfectly good when I was wearing, took me around 15 years to get to those 3 drops that then stalled into its current final mummification stage. Now, about the Blue Touch... The current version of Aqua Di Gio is not as potent as it was, so I was in the market for a replacement and found this for a good price to try. It's not 1:1, but works just fine for me, scratches that itch and performance is much better than the current formula of ADG

This opens with refreshing and strong citruses notes, very strong but good strong. The drydown is quite fast and the essence starts to change in about 20 minutes to a BEAUTIFUL and deep blue scent that stays lineal and just keeps going! A well job combining the musk with the florals. I dont feel the other base notes that much, mostly the heart notes is what you get from this performer. My opinion is that if you want a good economic blue scent buy this, it's cheap but feels and smells like quality. SCENT: 8/10. Very good. PERFORMANCE: 7/10. Good. About 5 hrs on skin and 7-8 hrs on clothes. SILLAGE: 6/10. Average. PRICE: 9/10. Excellent. PD: This is a good upgrade or alternative for Voyager.

I enjoy smelling like a million bucks while being frugal with the $$$. Not always, mind you - I did recently purchase a 4.2 oz of the discontinued Davidoff Good Life (go look at THOSE prices) - but if I can save some money through purchases such as this pleasant little surprise, rather than paying what ADG goes for, I am all about it. This does smell wonderful, and it will last quite awhile in the right weather. Given that ADG is usually a hit with the ladies (including mine), Blue Touch is also a hit by default. 4/5

Really basic deodorant smell, works in almost any occasion if you just want to smell nice, me personally i keep it in my school locker because the initial spray and the dry down have almost no difference and if i ever want to freshen up after P.E i just use a spray or two. overall great for the price at least, basically the cologne equivalent of deodorant with moderate performance 8/10.

Banger for $18. This is a stronger, ever so slightly sweeter version of Acqua Di Gio with really good longevity and projection. Not quite as deep and aquatic as the new EDP. For anyone concerned with performance issues with the new formulations of ADG....this is an awesome alternative at 1/5 the price. Franck Olivier continues to give us banger inspired by fragrances for a cheap price.

This sauce provides the familiar blue scent profile but with its own sweeter twist where others often go more salty or more smoky. The result is quite nice. Performance is excellent. I went too heavy with it when I first got it, expecting the weak performance I often lament in otherwise nice blues, and it choked out my colleagues. Lesson learned. Two, three sprays tops.

Acqua di Gio on a budget... My wife loves it. Out of the shower and around the house perfect chill juice. $20-30 a bottle you can't go wrong with this. Franck has made some bangers over the years... Sun Java and Passion I have great memories with as a young man.

It smells cheaper than ADG, it can't beat ADG. My friend's ADG (edt) still projects for 5 hours at office without respraying, he sprays 4-5 sprays. Let see how this cheapo performs. If you can afford Adg essenza, don't buy this. This makes me little bit dizzy.

Smells like a lighter version of Acqua Di Gio. Longevity was about 4 hours for me, so it is on the shorter side definitely. For the price it's worth picking up even with poor longevity.

Almost identical smell to AdG, but the performance on my skin lets it down a bit. Considering the price it's a great buy regardless. 7/10

Lasts all day on me. Never been an issue. A melon bomb, though. And that's sometimes something I get tired of throughout the day.

Smells very similar to the OG Acqua Di Gio. Performance is really good, and for the price it’s a no brainer. A solid 8/10

for the low price its a great ADG and it last longer. atomizer is meh , so dont spray as quick.

95% acqua di gio for a fraction of the price

Smells good but dissapears very quickly.

I'm a big fan of Acqua de Gio, and an even bigger fan of this. It reminds me very much of ADG when first sprayed on, but it dries down to be a softer and muskier scent. It also doesn't have the sharpness of ADG. I first bought this on a trip to Guam, so it immediately takes me to Pacific beaches, but it's a fragrance that can be worn at any time of day and for all occasions.

Smells like lemons and lasts a bit, good to wear anywhere. I'll get like a few hours at max. Overall my rating (including scent, projection, longevity and price) it would be a 7.3/10. It really is just a solid fragrance. But hey, it's better than Nautica Voyage.

It's alright of a frag. Doesn't last or project, but it does seem similar to ADG. Nothing special here, but it's cheap and a safe wear for any typical occasion.

We are now using this as a room scent. Works great in that capacity because it has a powdery musk dry-down that is soft when dispersed in a room.

If you're from a city with > 85% Humidity , This is gonna last not more than 20 minutes . It's performance made me really sad .

I bought this because it got good review on Fragrantica and also had good longevity ratings and reviews. I just wanted a freshie to wear around the house. Big mistake. It is weaker than one of those body sprays you buy at Walmart and just smells like the citrus water chics drink. It is being returned. The bottle was nice but the cap is cheap.

Nice scent.. get vibes of Acqua di gio and Clinique Happy. The bottle if there is an award, will get one for the cheapest looking design ever.

Less complex Acqua di gio EDT. Water note too prominent. Acceptable for gym. Overhyped. 4/10

maybe i got a bad bottle, but smell like cheap lemon something, i was very exited to get this one, beacuse of all the reviews in youtube, but is bad really bad

Fresh Aromatic Woody Scent SOTD: (Scent of the Day): Franck Olivier blueTouch: As of 01/28/19 It was my SOTD on 01/28/19: To my nose is a fresh, citrus and woody scent very pleasing, Fragrantica compare this scent to Acqua di Gio, I don't own Acqua di Gio, so I don't have to compare it to. To me I like the scent it's a pleasing scent to my nose I detect, the musk, bergamot, lemon and the melon, with the hint of vetiver and woody notes on the background. A great value for the price, longevity is a beast, and is a must have. Don't sleep on this fragrance. Rating Scent: 7.5/10 Design/Presentation: 8/10 Value: 10/10 Longevity/Performance: 9/10: Lasted on my skin/skin scent around 12+ hrs Overall: 7.5/10 My SOTD (Scent of the Day): Franck Olivier blueTouch EDT: As of 03/01/19 Revisiting this fragrance again as my 2nd wearing and as well my SOTD (Scent of the Day) as of 03/01/19, is a good freshy citrus vibe and there's alot of citruses I detect to my nose bergamot, lemon and mandarin with the melon, musk, amber, patchouli and vetiver in the background. I'm getting to like the scent the more I wear it. Is must fresh summer scent for the summer and is a hidden gem. Longevity/Performance is 9 out of 10: 10-12 sprays: Lasted on my skin as a skin scent around 12+ hrs.

Frank Oliver Blue Touch is warm and zesty. The melon and citrus balance out very nicely, albeit veering closely to industrial-synthetic citrus. I wish the melon stayed longer and stronger to round off the lime and bergamot and tangerine. It would certainly make the perfume more mature and less youngish. Mint is present, lurking behind the citrus potpourri, understated and subtle but crucial to the composition. The drydown is warm and sweet musk and pink pepper. Blue Touch has moderate sillage and respectable longevity. It is a mature and safe choice for men in their 20s up to 40s. However, as many have noted, it is a relatively common scent, and difficult to distinguish amidst a crowd of other citrus-dominated perfumes in terms of uniqueness. I would not get one for myself- my L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is enough to satisfy my citrus needs. Scent: 7/10 Sillage: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10
