Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Touch EDP
Burberry Touch is a divisive one. For some, it's a classy, clean, peppery-woody wonder; for others, it's a 'headache in a bottle' or a ghost of its former self, smelling like pencil shavings or worse. Love-it-or-hate-it, it's definitely not a safe blind buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cuba La Vida EDP
A divisive dupe that promises La Vie Est Belle on a budget. This is all about the sweet fruit and patchouli, but its fleeting performance truly lets it down for many, despite the bargain price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Touch

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, polished, and woody character makes it a strong contender for office wear, with many reviewers specifically calling it out as appropriate. While described as subtle by some, others note strong sillage, suggesting lighter application for closer settings. It's too refined for sport, and its complexity can be a bit much for purely casual wear, though some find it perfect for a 'lazy day'.

Cuba La Vida

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, bold, and fruity nature makes it ideal for casual wear and dates, but its sometimes overwhelming strength and lack of longevity cited by many reviews make it less suitable for formal or office settings. The ease of reapplication due to its 'body spray' nature makes it perfect for on-the-go casual use.
