Thank you friend
My friend imported bottles of perfume from Australia. I had originally ordered Invictus Legend from her because my bottle was running low. Invictus Legend is one of the few good blue scents but I digress. She insisted I test this instead. It was the first time I recognized violet in a fragrance.
We all must take a journey along in fragrance to find the notes we love the most and what combinations of notes we love for any occasion.
Burberry Touch is a tapered bottle resembling an exaggerated v taper of a man in a suit with broad shoulders. The cap is wooden and nice. There really isn't alot to Touch. The name suggests it's purpose. You have a light citrus-floral opening. Some call it soapy, but on my skin and not on a card, it smells nothing like soap or bodywash. On my skin the citrus dissipates quickly. Next there sits the beautiful 'cool sensation' of violet balanced with white pepper that's further accentuated with cedar. Creamy tonka bean rounds out the vetiver and musk in the base. Base notes are important because they affect sillage and longevity the most. The perfumer carefully crafted this perfume in a way that let's the cool violet linger ever so sweetly with a 'touch' of powder (the synergy of violet and tonka bean is key) waft from my skin for three hours in 90 degree heat and 30% humidity. After three hours, the violet sits closer and creamy tonka can be smelled. I have no issues with projection or longevity with Touch. Projection and sillage is a proper arms length, even in the harsh heat and sweat of Cambodia. Now my bottle is empty but I keep the bottle because the violet note clings to the cap and is so soothing for me to smell. I already loved tonka bean but I had no idea how much I love the note of violet.
Now my perfume journey has me seeking other violet fragrances. Thank you my friend for suggesting this fresh beautiful floral fragrance. It's almost unisex. It was 20 years ahead of it's time and to me it is timeless.
