Touch for Women

The crisp clarity of a London park in early autumn, where the scent of ripe berries mingles with earthy woods and hints of spicy pepper.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1998, Touch for Women by Burberry is a Floral Green fragrance that embodies the brand's signature elegance and restraint. Perfumer Michel Girard crafted this scent with a balance of freshness and warmth, opening with red pepper and cassia to create an aromatic contrast against fruity notes like blackberry and cranberry. The heart unfolds with rose oil and orange, leading into a soft yet spicy base of cedar, oakmoss, and vanilla that ensures the fragrance remains both engaging and soothing throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for a balanced presence — the red pepper and cassia notes are vibrant but dissipate quickly, so the rich base notes of cedar and vanilla will carry you through the day. Ideal for daytime wear when you want something fresh yet subtly warm.
