Max Mara Silk Touch

Silk Touch by max mara is my absolute first perfume-crush as a `real woman`. You know, after becoming a mother, after getting engaged, after buying a house, after building a career and most important; after the tsunami-storm that a breakup brings. The first time after the breakup that I went shopping something i really didn ́t need, There she was. This is true happiness (and for me my first true independence) I am still very very much in love with her. Sweet & loving, with not as much as a single flaw. There is little or no resemblance to Miss Dior Cherie , but somehow I can almost promise that If you love Cherie, you will take Silk touch directly to your heart as well. (Please right me if im wrong!) 100/100 forever.

I guess everyone knows how enjoyable a simple cotton sweater is on a fresh summer evening. And once again we know - the simple things in life bring the most comfort. To me, this perfume is exactly like that sweater. I think it’s seriously under-appreciated. It’s a twist and turn of simple flowers and a strange, unfamiliar sweetness. It isn't mainstream, but it’s also not heavy. It takes time to love, but when you do, it’ll be for a long time... If it was more expensive or/and the creation of another brand, I guess, this amazing perfume would have more fans. Either way – I wouldn't change a thing in that fragrance and would always want to have it for a fresh summer evening...

You don't see many fragrances with barberry notes and it's sad! It's such a unique scent! Back in USSR there was a hard candy literally called "Barberry" and this fragrance reminds me of it. The musk adds some depth to it making it not your average fruity/floral creation. It's one of my favourite scents for an early spring!

MaxMara Silk Touch is really light and soft like a touch of silk shawl. The aroma is fresh and flowery, little bit sweet with a sweetness of barberry. Simple white and pink bottle shows the whole point of this fragrance. Silk Touch is shy and innocent. It would be a perfect summer scent for those, who find most of the perfumes too heavy, loud and sweet. Silk Touch wouldn’t be cloying even in the hottest day.

This is a delicate, soft, smooth, powdery and a bit fairy like scent. I would put this in the same category with Guerlain's Météorites due to the delicate nature. The two scents are not alike though, it's just their nature that is similar to each other. I love to wear this with my silk blouses, since there is certainly a similarity in this fragrance to the delicate nature of the silk fabric.
