The world of fragrance is subjective. What one person deems a masterpiece, another might find utterly repulsive. This inherent subjectivity is perfectly exemplified by the reactions to Burberry Touch, a fragrance that has garnered both fervent fans and outspoken detractors. My recent experience, where the scent elicited a near-violent reaction – a gag reflex so strong it threatened to induce vomiting – highlights the extreme end of this spectrum. This article will explore the reasons behind the polarizing nature of Burberry Touch, drawing on various reviews and comparisons to understand why some adore it while others, like myself, find it overwhelmingly unpleasant. We'll delve into the specific notes, the differences between the men's and women's versions (if any exist), and compare it to other Burberry fragrances, particularly Burberry London. Finally, we'll examine the aftershave products associated with the Touch line and explore potential explanations for my intensely negative experience.
My Initial Encounter and the Suspect: Musk
My first encounter with Burberry Touch was nothing short of traumatic. The initial spray was jarring, a sudden onslaught of scent that triggered an immediate and powerful gag reflex. I barely managed to avoid a full-blown retching episode. My subsequent research on Fragrantica, a comprehensive online fragrance database, pointed towards the musk note as the likely culprit. Many reviews mention a strong, sometimes animalic, musk, and this aligns with my experience. However, the intensity and the almost visceral rejection I felt suggest something more than simply a "strong" musk. The question remains: what makes this musk so offensive to some? Is it the type of musk used, its concentration, or a combination of factors interacting with my personal olfactory sensitivities?
Burberry Touch Review: Women's Perspective
The fragrance landscape is often divided along gender lines, and Burberry Touch is no exception. While marketed towards men, it's not uncommon for women to wear and review it. Analyzing reviews specifically from women offers a different perspective on the scent profile. Some women appreciate the warmth and spiciness, describing it as sensual and comforting. Others find it too heavy, cloying, or even masculine, echoing the sentiments of some men who find it overpowering. The musk note, again, seems to be a key differentiator. Some women find the musk adds depth and complexity, while others find it overpowering or even unpleasant, leading to similar negative reactions to mine. The lack of a distinct "women's" version of Burberry Touch further complicates the matter, leaving women to navigate the fragrance's masculine leanings.
Burberry Touch for Men Reviews: A Spectrum of Opinions
The men's reviews of Burberry Touch are equally diverse. Many praise its warm, woody, and spicy notes, describing it as sophisticated, masculine, and long-lasting. The amber and cardamom notes are frequently highlighted as contributing to its appeal. However, a significant number of men share negative experiences similar to mine, citing the musk as the primary reason. Some describe the musk as overly pungent, dirty, or even nauseating. The intensity of the musk seems to be a significant factor influencing the overall experience, with some finding it perfectly balanced and others finding it overwhelming and unpleasant. The age of the reviewer also seems to correlate with opinions; younger reviewers often find it too mature or heavy, while older reviewers appreciate its depth and complexity.
