Burberry Touch

Touch for Women by Burberry (2000)

Released in 2000 and crafted by perfumer Jean-Pierre Bethouart (the nose behind Burberry Classic and Jacques Bogart One Man Show), Burberry Touch for Women is one of the brand’s most enduring feminine compositions. Built around violet leaf, mandarin, white pepper, nutmeg, peach, tonka bean, cedarwood, vetiver, and musk, this floral-woody-spicy composition became a signature scent for a generation of women. Twenty-five years after release, Touch remains in active production and continues to be one of Burberry’s best-selling fragrances.

Our interpretation captures the same iconic feminine signature as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

How It Smells

The opening is immediately distinctive with violet leaves, mandarin, and a spicy lift from white pepper that creates an unconventional introduction. There is no shy citrus burst here. Touch announces its sophistication from the first spray.

The heart introduces juicy peach, warm nutmeg, and soft floral accents that add aromatic dimension. The dry-down settles on the warm signature base that defines Touch: tonka bean, smooth cedarwood, refined vetuyer, soft amber, and clean musks. A base that lingers on skin for hours with refined, slightly powdery, gently spiced femininity.
