Burberry Touch for Women — Luminously Oriental, Intensely Feminine, Quietly Unforgettable
Some fragrances announce themselves loudly and then struggle to justify the attention. Burberry Touch for Women does the opposite — it opens with a quiet confidence that only grows more interesting the longer you wear it. Launched in 1998 as a significant creative moment for the house — the year Roberto Menichetti arrived as artistic director and began transforming Burberry into the modern luxury brand it would become — and created by perfumer Michel Girard, Burberry Touch EDP was described at launch as luminously oriental and intensely feminine, a fragrance that suggests comfort and intimacy. It bridges the chasm between 1990s perfumery — with its soft jasmine, mild fruit, and backbone of arguably masculine notes — and modern femininity, remaining relevant even in 2026. Now available in Pakistan at Khayest in the 100ml vaporisateur, 100% original.
What Burberry Touch Actually Smells Like — The Honest Description
Burberry Touch is a fragrance that rewards patience and resists easy categorisation. It manages to remain feminine without succumbing to the archetypal sweet-fruity-floral that dominates the category — with a backbone of arguably masculine notes (pepper, cassia, oakmoss, tonka) swaddled tightly in vanilla and soft cedar alongside sedated tuberose and mild fruit. It opens with fresh, greenery and citrus notes. The dry-down is powdery and soft with a bit of vanilla amidst the oakmoss and cedar — moody and melancholy in the best sense, great for fall or overcast days, yet comfortable and clean enough for everyday office wear.
Its maturity is its defining quality. Not blue-haired-and-using-a-walker maturity — but a maturity that makes it so much more interesting than some of the other Burberry scents. A little dark, not too sweet, and though it has fruit and flowers, it does not smell like the hundreds of other fruity florals aimed at younger wearers. The composition has been mixed so well that it is hard to identify any particular notes — it is like the notes are an invisible gust of wind rather than a list of individual ingredients. The thing I like about Touch is its maturity — it is subtle and surprising without overpowering.
Fragrance Notes — The Full Burberry Touch Experience
Burberry Touch for Women EDP is a rich, complex fragrance across all three note stages — with a spiced, fruity opening that is unlike any other Burberry fragrance, a multi-layered floral heart, and a warm, woody-chypre base that gives it its distinctive lasting character.
-
Top Notes — Red Pepper, Cassia, Blackberry, Cranberry, Black Currant, Rose Oil, Orange: The opening of Burberry Touch is one of the most distinctive in the Burberry portfolio — the start is unusual, perhaps the pepper and fruity blend, a mixture that is definitely new to many wearers meeting it for the first time. Red pepper and cassia (a variety of cinnamon) add a warm, spiced edge that prevents the dark berry fruits from being merely sweet. Blackberry, cranberry, and black currant create a deep, slightly tart fruit accord alongside the brightness of orange; rose oil adds an immediate floral dimension from the very first spray. It opens with fresh greenery and citrus notes.
-
Heart Notes — Lily, Peony, Peach, Tuberose, Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine, Raspberry: The heart reveals a rich, feminine bouquet that unfolds with considerable complexity. Tuberose and jasmine provide the oriental, heady floralcy that gives the fragrance its luminously oriental character; lily and lily-of-the-valley add a fresh, slightly green floral dimension; peony offers contemporary feminine sweetness; peach adds a soft, warm fruitiness; raspberry provides a slightly brighter, more tart fruit accent that keeps the heart from becoming too heavy. Together they create a floral accord that is simultaneously complex and harmonious — the notes are very light, almost undetectable individually, as if the composition has been mixed so well that they form a single, coherent impression.
-
Base Notes — Cedar, Oakmoss, Vanilla, Green Almond, Tonka Bean: The base is where Burberry Touch earns its most devoted admirers and where its age and quality are most apparent. Oakmoss — the classic chypre ingredient — grounds the fragrance with earthy, slightly mossy depth; cedar adds dry, clean woodiness; vanilla provides the warm, comforting sweetness of the dry-down; green almond contributes a slightly bitter, nutty quality; tonka bean adds its characteristic warm, coumarinic sweetness that extends the fragrance's staying power. The dry-down is powdery and soft with vanilla amidst the oakmoss and cedar — a skin-close warmth that lingers long after the louder top notes have faded.
Burberry Touch Review — Who Loves It and Why
The review record of Burberry Touch for Women across Fragrantica, Basenotes, and Perfume.com reflects a fragrance with a deeply loyal, if smaller, audience — one that appreciates complexity and maturity over immediate crowd-pleasing sweetness. It has maintained steady popularity since its release in 2000. Online reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers noting: finally found a fragrance that is refreshing and sexy, used daily and always drawing compliments. It is a classic fragrance that never goes out of style. Repurchased so many times over the years — always in the collection.
Its fruit notes blend smoothly with its florals, while peppercorn and green notes keep the fragrance from becoming overly sweet. Burberry Touch is a finishing touch to suit any occasion — subtle and surprising without overpowering. It is subtle, classic enough to wear during any season, with fruit notes well-suited to late spring and summer.
When to Wear Burberry Touch for Women
Burberry Touch EDP is best suited for spring and autumn, when its crisp floral opening and warm woody base complement mild temperatures beautifully. Its balance of fresh and warm notes makes it versatile enough for both warmer and cooler months. It is particularly well suited for women who want a fragrance that reads as sophisticated and considered — appropriate for professional environments, evening occasions, and any context where an obviously youthful, sweet fragrance would feel out of place. The subtle peppercorn bite and oakmoss base give it a slightly unisex character that some men in the fragrance community have enthusiastically adopted as well.
