Your Touch

#968 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I get a lot of messages from guys with limited means asking me my opinion of inexpensive clones, so I try out as many as I reasonably can, and some are great and I'm happy to have them on the shelf, and some not so much and they go to the men's shelter or the college kids. This is one of four Maison Alhambra dupes that arrived today, and it's most similar to Swiss Arabian "Primal Code", kind of like if you mixed Stronger with You Freeze and Armaf Odyssey White. If you like any of the "Stronger with You" line you'll appreciate this. Like those Armani scents, same ballpark as Bentley "Silverlake", Armaf "Niche Sapphire", Avon 'Mesmerize Black", Givenchy "Gentleman Only Intense" but fruitier. Moderate performer. Fine for the office, casual wear, date night. Very fresh. Not likely to offend anyone. For me it's a keeper and at $20 a safe blind buy that will probably go in the gym bag.

Great stuff, they just came out with your touch intense and i got it on the way too. I'd highly recommend this. Sillage and longevity are both above average. I get cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla and a bit of chestnut and maybe a little lavender. 9/10.

It is very good quality, very good price and resembles 92% the original. Highly recommend. Compliment getter, for sure. Since I got this for my brother-in-law, he doesn't wear anything else, and I'm getting his third bottle for his birthday.

I've already reviewed this one but I just got your touch intense. Hoping fragrantica will add it soon. If you liked the og you'll like the intense. Same top notes but the mid and base are different. I think the intense is a bit better.

The notes are completely wrong here for some reason. This is a clone of Stronger With You. And it’s a really close one. Projection is a bit worse, you need to overspray this. On clothes, it lasts for 7-8 hours easily.

@admins can you put the whole your touch lineup on fragrantica? You're missing intense, amber, oud, and tobacco. Thank you.

This should be a 4.3 or 4.4. It's good enough and strong enough to be rated higher.

smells incredibly good after a few months of maceration

Come on fragrantica, add your touch intense.

ADD YOUR TOUCH INTENSE PLEASE FRAGRANTICA

* Good clone of Emporio Armani Stronger With You * Good blend of sweet, spice, vanilla, amber, musk, and wood aromas * Classic gourmand DNA; a must for gourmand lovers * Brighter and fresher than the original * Actually projects better off of skin than Stronger With You * Good alternative to the modern "Sweet and Fresh" style * Good QPR value * Great for cooler weather and intimate occasions * Vanilla is not as strong or rich as the original * Not as warm as the original * Not unisex * Leans towards older users Your Touch is a pretty good clone of Stronger With You. I live near a Sephora and was able to try out the original and compare them. Your Touch is actually better in some ways. It's a noticeably stronger projector and radiates much better off of the skin. It places an equal emphasis on the spices and the vanilla and is much brighter and fresher. This is a classic gourmand style fragrance and is a must for gourmand lovers. On the flip side, it's not as warm as the original which heavily emphasizes the vanilla. Side by side, that vanilla is noticeably stronger and much richer in Stronger With You. But Stronger With You also has terrible projection so that richer warmth doesn't really mean much if people can't smell it off of you. Your Touch is reasonably close to Stronger With You and honestly performs way better for an excellent price. It leans towards older males and is not unisex. This is great for cooler weather and intimate occasions. Recommended.

Ordered a bunch of 1ml decants to test and got this as a bonus. IDK if that was on purpose or just a mistake. So far, I've disliked any fragrance that has cinnamon as a note so i didn't expect i would like this scent, and was a little worried about others saying it smells like fecal matter or a rotten tooth. Well, I don't get that in the slightest, it actually smells pretty nice, it fact it's the first scent with cinnamon that i legitimately like. That said i wouldn't say the cinnamon scent stands out, it just kind of blends well with everything else, which is maybe why i like it more. Still not a major fav for me personally, but i wouldn't mind waring it from time to time if i had it. The others maybe just got a really bad batch or maybe some sort of counterfeit? Or maybe since this is a 1ml sample, it may have already had months of maceration before i bought it and hence smells better?

When i first got it, it didn't like it that much, but after 3 months of maceration it has become strong and it's scent has been improved, i like the drydown of it but i don't appreciate the smell of chest nuts in this because they smell a little bit weird. This can be worn in the winter and fall time and i think spring too because it isn't overpowering or overcloying and this has a touch of sweetness and it has great longevity and projection, lasts for about 9 hours(on my skin) and projects 3 feet. This can be your daily scent and its definitely blind buy safe but make sure to let it macerate. Lonngevity: 8/10 Projection:7/10 Value for money: 9/10 Overall:7/10

Like the other review says, the notes don't make sense because this is a dupe of Stronger with You and I agree it's a close one. I have a sample of Stronger with You and this, when wearing both, one on each wrist its really hard to smell a difference. I'm sure a more trained nose could point out the 10% difference, but I'd say it's 90% similar to the OG. So the notes should be something like this (copying Stronger with You notes) TOP: Chestnut & Sugar MID: Sage & Lavender BASE: Vanilla & Smoke

Your Touch by Maison Alhambra – A Steal Compared to Stronger With You Your Touch brings the same sweet, woody vibe as Stronger With You Intensely, but with a bit more spice and better performance. Sometimes it lasts just an hour, but when it settles, it pushes past 12 hours. At just $15, it’s a bargain—especially when Stronger With You charges $100 for almost the same scent. Why pay more when this spicy alternative does it better?

The smell of chestnuts is like the smell of an old person's breath. and adding chestnuts to this perfume destroys its beautiful smell. I think it needs to soak for a couple of months and we'll see if the artificial chestnut smell goes away. After a period of soaking for months, the scent became much more beautiful and the durability is good.

Very good value. Very likable and warm scent. To me, this is an inoffensive, dumb reach kind of fragrance. In my opinion it’s not a “night” fragrance as most people seem to rate it as, here. It’s one that would work perfect for work, school or running errands.

I was looking for a cozy winter fragrance and saw that stronger with you by Armani was often recommended. Not having the financial means to buy overpriced designer frags , I gave this one a chance. Having good experience with Maison Alhambra I expected a nice clone of a designer frag. Im very confused when it comes to this fragrance. Sometimes it smells absolutely amazing but some times it smells lika monure. Im not joking. I can't understand why though. I wish they've would have kept it simple and just skip the part that smells like the elephants at the circus having a bad stomach. I've learned that you have to leave all middle eastern fragrances to macerate for a while but I can't imagine how this fragrance is going to get better with time smelling like monure. Why oh why do I always fail with the blind buys.... Update 2025*** It has gotten alot better and that manure smell has mostly disappeared but not entirely. For me personally this is still an ok smell . Not bad but still not good enough for me to buy this again. It was cheap when I bought it and for that price it was worth it I guess. 20 Euros.

So to spare a long read, OUD plus SWY. It's not a heavy oud scent but that is where some of the shite like smell comes from. It's not heavy, in the air not that noticeable. But nose to skin, there honestly is a funk sitting in the scent. Just enough to notice. A little shite smell is too much for me. But I will let it macerate for a while and see if it improves before giving or selling. Side note, Fragrance World Proud of You Absolutely is very nice! Similar price, but it is a little darker like SWY Absolutely. Guess I just need to stick to the designer on this one lol.

i get a sharp minty note in the opening , it is close to swy scent profile but there is something off about it ,very synthetic 6/10
