Fragrance Notes Deep Dive
Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Touch for Men is no exception. The opening salvo presents violet leaf, artemisia and mandarin orange, hitting the skin with immediate impact and establishing the character of what follows. As the top notes settle — typically within the first 20–30 minutes — the heart of Touch for Men emerges: white pepper, cedar and nutmeg. This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of white musk, tonka bean and vetiver anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Touch for Men leaves long after you have left the room.
The overall accord profile leans toward fresh spicy, ozonic, making Touch for Men a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
