Then came Sport with its red elastic band, London, Brit, Brit Rhythm Intense, Brit Splash, and recently Touch. I started to appreciate Burberry colognes only in the last few years, and Brit Rhythm was the first blind buy I won on eBay auction. but still a decent crisp fragrance less generic than it may look. Miles far from being a groundbreaking scent, not the greatest quality around for sure. However that’s it, the evolution is almost absent, the projection is elegantly close to skin. Touch smells just fresher and more focused on vetiver/cedar and spices, with a musky base and a powdery frame, but there’s indeed a tonka-nutty breeze that makes Nemo come to mind. Slightly reminding me of Nemo by Cacharel, albeit much less heavy on the spices, but somehow they share a sort of common “mood” both are mellow, kind of plastic in a fascinating way, spicy and exotic but with a peculiar sort of smooth and slightly aqueous texture. And a really enjoyable smoky vibe (I guess coming from vetiver), just to keep it “manly” enough. From the very first sniff, Touch screams “2000s” all over: that synthetic musky-watery texture, the spicy woodiness, the softer hint of violet leaves providing a powdery feel conforming to that “androgynous” type of “new millenium’s urban-informal elegance” so many masculine scents of that decade seemed conforming to. Touch for Men is basically the only other Burberry scent I kind of enjoy together with London for Men, and the good old Burberrys from 1992. Portable all year round, but best in autumn. Nevertheless I would never give it away, for me a true treasure, a portrait of the youth in the early 2000s. Nowadays it's more of a fragrance that I wear privately for my memories, as it's more for the younger generation (18-24). A fragrance that requires people to come closer to each other in order to perceive it ) This scarf lasts about 6 hours on the body and is perceptible continuously on a half arm length. The scent is quite straightforward, you don't get a complex scent miracle here, but a cuddly burberry scarf to wear. For me this is because of the mixture of violets, which I find very dominat here, the great, but not stinging pepper and the successful foundation of musk and vetiver. It is very intimate and symbolizes human closeness. In the evening in bed she smells her scarf, notices that my scent is caught in it and remembers the afternoon in love. One is excited, in love and believes that this love will last forever. It is early autumn, the lake slightly filled with leaves, a few strollers look over to one. Looks at you and yourself sitting at the lake on a bench. You see yourself holding your childhood sweetheart in your arms for the first time. Just a date scent of the younger generation that will be remembered years later. At the same time he is very cuddly and embodies a certain homeliness. ![]() He embodies youth, carelessness, light-heartedness and is also somehow sexy. Lots of gel in the hair, maybe even a Burberry scarf around (hihi) - was in at the time - sneaker and a deep pants on. I see when I smell it waiting me in young, restless and impatient for my first date. And that is exactly what the fragrance has preserved in itself. I don't associate him directly with the 2000s, but rather with my time in the early 2000s, and more precisely with my youth. When I sprayed it on I just thought: okay, you know him, you smelled him a lot of times, but that was longer ago! And yes, I think of the year 2000, when I was 11 years old, memories come up. And this one does both! I want to explain myself: ![]() ![]() Those who know my comments know that I love fragrances that evoke memories and tell stories. Well, at that price, I thought to myself, blind buying'll be fine! Also the fragrance pyramid convinced me and so one thing came to the other and touch finally to me. I bought this fragrance because I saw a great YouTube video about it.
