Touch for Men (2000)
by Burberry

The violet note in the top is quite weak and overwhelmed by the citrus, otherwise I would have hated this, but in fact it's pretty good and the whole fragrance is blended tastefully. Touch isn't an epiphany or anything and I don't think I'll purchase, but it's kinda nice to know an inoffensive, well made, nice smelling mainstream male frag is out there anyway.

Light, woody and slightly powdery. A nice breezy scent easy on the nose. Like a lot of Burberry male scents, this has poor longevity. Unfortunately linear - I don't get much development from this. Pleasant, but a little too light and easily dispensable.

Burberry Touch is somewhat of an nerve-racking fragrance. It begins with a crisp, light aroma of violets, mandarin, and pepper. This creates an aura of sophistication and smoothness. Unfortunately, this sophistication can come across as stand-offish; nearby noses will be wondering where the pleasant aroma is coming from and why it doesn't want to join their olfactory party. The truth is, though this fragrance smells pretty good and will elicit favorable comments, ultimately its subtle nature limits its potential. The fragrance never projects enough for both the user and their surrounding company to enjoy. This reserved sophistication is great for several settings, such as environments where you don't want to make too much noise, but it may leave you wanting during those times when you do. The fragrance eventually transitions through some enjoyable woody notes before settling on a musky, tonka bean dry-down accented by vetiver. I will agree, however, that Burberry Touch has great longevity. Overall, this cologne is well worth a purchase, but you have to know what you're getting into. I'm glad I bought it.

It's not bad by any means-just not good. I mean it takes a marketing genius to bottle the fragrance of Kiwi brand saddle soap and get people to think they love it for thirty bucks a pop. Don't believe me? Take a whiff of saddle soap the next time you're in the shoe department.

Brilliantly made and named as it really is a continous touch of soft and fresh sensuality. The sensation of lying in a newly made bed after using your girlfriends shower gel can be intoxicating.
But like so many other men I prefer fragrances that speak of explosive adventure, treasures and elegant wisdom.
So even though I can't get around the fact that I really admire the craftsmanship and idea in Touch, I shall continue to buy old dinosaurs with questionable reformulations instead.

The initial blast brings to mind Fahrenheit. That doesn’t last long though, only few seconds, and soon it starts to remind me more some other scent; Herrera 212. And then very soon this separates from that one too, taking its own private path to move forward….

Touch for Men soon becomes very very linear and smooth blend of WHITE MUSK, soft woods, weak violets with distant yet notable dash of warm pepper. Slightly vanillic and powdery tonka bean is that final touch.

This is well made scent that is completely non provocative or edgy. It is very easy to wear anytime, anywhere. *yawn*

If you like fragrance that is clean, fresh and sensual - if you don’t want to disturb the people around you in slightest and play safe - and most of all, if you like white musk….then this is for you.

To me Touch for Men is nice scent and extremely neutral.
