Burberry Touch for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Jean-Pierre Bethouart. Touch for Men opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Cedar, Pepper, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Tonka Bean. Burberry's Touch for Men carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

An understated classic that radiates clean, soft masculinity. Touch for Men is the definitive fresh-powdery office scent: versatile, quietly confident, and always appropriate, but never dull.

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Burberry Touch for Men opens with a cool, watery burst of violet leaf and a whisper of citrus, instantly conjuring images of fresh linen and crisp spring air. As it settles, gentle spices-white pepper and nutmeg-emerge, riding on a backbone of creamy cedar and subtle green herbs. The drydown reveals a delicate, powdery musk interwoven with tonka bean and a hint of vanilla, creating a soft, skin-like aura that feels effortlessly elegant and comforting. Never loud, always refined, its powdery, musky freshness lingers close to the skin, inviting intimacy and calm. Equally at home in a boardroom or on a lazy afternoon, this fragrance is a study in quiet sophistication and everyday versatility.
