Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Playing With The Devil Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a juicy, fruity revelation with a spicy kick, while others are convinced it smells like 'pink medicine' or even body odour. Definitely one to sample first before you commit, as your skin chemistry will make or break it.

Statement

Our Verdict - Touch Eau de Parfum

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.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its strong fruity and spicy accords, often noted for their excellent sillage and longevity by some, make it a bit much for the office. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates where its unique character can truly shine without overpowering. It's too complex and rich for sport.

Touch Eau de Parfum

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'.
