Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The beginning of Franck Olivier Black Touch charms with fresh citrus notes of bergamot and grapefruit, complemented by spicy cardamom and general spices, creating an energetic and attractive opening.

In the heart of the fragrance, elegant floral chords bloom: geranium imparts a greenish freshness, jasmine and magnolia give tenderness, and orange blossom adds sweetish shades.

The final base is built on deep woody and musky notes: patchouli provides an earthy foundation, vanilla softens the composition, vetiver and Virginia cedar give structure and warmth, and musk finishes everything with a silky longevity.

This pyramid makes Black Touch a complex and fascinating journey from freshness to depth, perfectly balancing between spicy flashes and woody stability.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

I walked around this fragrance for a long time, comparing it to others I like, such as Bang by Jacobs, Terre by Hermès, and Encre Noire by Lalique. Although in reality, they are all completely different. Recently, I decided to read reviews again and noticed that it's even compared to Kinski. But, in my opinion, it doesn't resemble any of them. There's something in common with each, but it's so insignificant that it's not even worth putting them in the same category, rather in the same direction. The opening of the fragrance is citrusy, quite familiar, and quickly disappears. Further on, the sillage becomes less noticeable, woody spices are felt, as well as the smell of gouache and sweetish spices. Overall, an interesting fragrance for a quite reasonable price

The citruses are sharp, and the base is somewhat rough and tart. The scent is strong, bright, with a clear sense of audacity and masculinity. On one hand, I liked it, but on the other, it's too loud, though it doesn't feel oppressive. The complexity of the scent is noticeable, there's no cheapness at all, it smells quite interesting. The bottle looks decent, you could even get it as a gift
3/5

The scent, at first glance, is quite decent, and for such a price, it's hard to expect more. But there's one 'but.' It's too commercial and derivative: it resembles a mix of 'Encre Noir' and 'Terre d'Hermès,' trying to please everyone at once. There's also a similarity to Byblos 'In Black,' which is probably due to the latter's desire to attract TdH fans 😌

blackTouch is, of course, a success, but not without its nuances. It's bright, bold, and provocative, and you could praise its creators endlessly, but there's always that "but." In the case of blackTouch, all that praise stops when comparisons begin. Unfortunately, it too closely resembles already known fragrances. This fact, in my opinion, is not a plus. However, the price of blackTouch is pleasing - it's low, and that will undoubtedly delight fans of Kinski, Terre d'Hermès, and Encre Noire. If you appreciate ambiguous fragrances, you should pay attention to blackTouch, especially if you're familiar with Kinski. They are so similar that only true connoisseurs who have tried Kinski multiple times will be able to distinguish them. The resemblance to Terre d'Hermès and Encre Noire is also noticeable, though not as strong
4/5

The scent isn't bad actually, and for this price, it's super!! Sweetish, with a hint of pepper at the start, but then I barely smell anything… and it stays that way till the very end. Vetiver is also noticeable, a bit vanilla-like and with a chemical undertone 😊
5/5

The fragrance is truly impressive. Citrus notes, especially bergamot, are excellent here, and cardamom and vetiver add interesting accents. Vanilla and musk in the base create a pleasant sweetness, but without overdoing it. It's long-lasting and relaxing, perfect for both men and women. It feels like it costs more than its price, which, by the way, is quite affordable. Definitely worth a try!
