I bought this perfume because of the very positive reviews you give on this website as well as the price. For €20 it was worth trying. And the truth is… I like it quite a bit. It has something I don’t like which I don’t know if it is due to the oud but it is like a smell of burnt rubber or something synthetic. Except for that note which slowly dissipates with time I love the aroma. It is for men although it could be perfectly unisex. It is potent; the rose is noticeable as well as the wood (or its equivalent to rubber). I also notice quite a bit of violet and vanilla although at a lower level. It is not a delicate or subtle aroma but it is pleasant low-priced and with a low dosage it is more than enough. If it were not for that rubber note and because I find it somewhat feminine it would be one of my top 3. I will not use it daily as the perfume is not suited for that… but I believe the bottle will have a future replacement.
I like it. Fruity opening by the raspberry sweetened by the caramel which gives way to a more floral phase with the rose as the main protagonist but always mixing with a slightly smoky incense on a vanilla base. Smoky oriental and floral with a great sweet-dry balance somewhat dark and with very good performance. Courtesy of Josesan. For autumn and winter. For night. Very long-lasting longevity. Heavy trail.
Without many words… the perfume is a bomb. It is very strong and lasts on clothes for a long time. Now on the sixth day the clothes still smell. I applied it inside a jacket at the end of the cold season. Three months have passed I open the wardrobe and its aroma continues… incredible… and very cheap. Perhaps it is perfume essence… I recommend it if you like strong elegant scents and its price is too accessible compared to others. I recommend cold weather; two sprays are enough. It will impregnate your skin. The trail if it is strong and elegant leaves the aroma as you walk. Scent 10 Trail 10 Cheap price. Excellent.
Good perfume. I am very much into the Franck Olivier line; I think they make perfumes of magnificent quality in relation to their price. This one in particular has a lot of hype and I fear that will cause an immediate radical price increase. It has gone from not reaching €20 to seeing it at €70-80 on websites with renewed stock. Sincerely it is worth buying at €30 but no more in my opinion in case it helps. Let me explain after all we are here to help each other: The perfume’s opening is somewhat eighties-style; it reminds me a lot (to my nose) of Quorum with the first spray. Although it sounds ridiculous it takes me back to the times my father used it that little spicy touch. But that goes away in a minute and evolves into what it really is. Immediately the rose takes the lead something caramelised and that very well-achieved memory of oud without actually carrying it. It lives up to its name as it is a subtle touch of this resin in its balsamic mode perfectly resolved in the combination of olíbano incense and vanilla which in apparent accord evokes that oud. Thus we have the well-known rose-oud combo suitable for getting to know perfumes of this type. Like Armaf’s Shade Woods. And that is where I was going because both perfumes are very similar. So before buying this for a price higher than €30 go straight for the Armaf one which stays around €20-25€ and you will get a very very similar result. In the dry down its scent potency projection and longevity are equal. Around 8 hours. Winter and autumn fragrance. With a certain daring and taking care of the sprays it can be used on some fresh spring nights more so this OudTouch than the Armaf one. I hope it helps friends. Greetings to all perfumers!!! NOTE ADDED: The dry down distances itself slightly from the Armaf one which carries the rose until the very end being less perceptible here and finishing with a green juicy incense. EDIT: I have had the privilege of trying Dior’s Oud Ispahan and I assure you that the similarity between both is astonishing!!!
Well I bought it and I like it. It has a very potent opening; I will use it on cold nights.
I do not tolerate it; it is a guaranteed headache. Buy blind and go all in. That said its longevity and projection are very good; you won’t wash the stench off even with a bath.
Although I am testing it and must allow time for my subjective review its opening is rough and forceful synthetically petrol-like or evoking a gasoil distillery; others might recall burnt rubber. It is explosive like a slap that pushes you back but after a while you appreciate how the notes take their place: note that slight sweetness of the raspberry enveloping the rose alongside the resin. Is it a rose a geranium or a magnolia? It goes hand in hand with an intense oud (though not listed it is evoked) that makes you think it would also work on a woman. In summary: it wants to evoke that very resinous oud that impregnates the wood very linear from the middle to the end and as synthetic as possible. As the brand says: a touch of OUD (but without it being in the notes). Good risky (you run the risk of hating or loving it) for fresh-cold days more nocturnal than diurnal and very long-lasting (be careful not to overdo the drops). It projects by enveloping you nothing more; directed to the personal enjoyment of whoever manages to like it. A fragrance for people over 35 uncommon difficult in itself and difficult for someone else to smell on the street nor directed to garner compliments. I repeat to you that I consider it an elegant perfume (despite feeling very synthetic) and a good starting point to enter the world of OUD. In short it is simply difficult. I would not recommend buying blind (although you will have to do so as I believe it is discontinued in shops) and it is possible I will not repurchase it despite its advantageous price which hovers around €25 online. Greetings to all from Spain let’s see if we ever get out of this.
Until recently it was above €30 but it has recently dropped and can be found between €18 and €20. To me it smells like a combo of synthetic rose with lots of safrole and a slight touch of raspberry. It is very linear but it has notable performance in longevity and projection. I perceive nothing of oud; it is unthinkable for a low-cost one to have it yet even synthetic oud is not noticeable. It has not thrilled me nor is it versatile.
The perfume is very strong and its trail is long-lasting. You either hate it or love it; there is no middle ground. It has good value for money (in my case less than €16 for the 100 ml bottle).
With some perfumes you need patience; at first it seems all dark but suddenly it lights up. Oud Touch is difficult yes complicated. If I compare it to the Oud by Aqua di Parma that I loved in 2013 I noticed that one smelled great on the opening and in the heart but little in the base. Now I understand that following that ritual this one shines too. A few drops a night out casual clothes and solid shoes. What is often termed difficult is usually synonymous with being sensual and extremely striking. If you accept these basic premises you will shine with Oud Touch a perfume that turns you into Mr Hyde even if you don’t want to. That is how it will be and nothing more. Three sprays go out to dinner and relax because it will be what God wills. At least it won’t go to waste. PS: From its declared notes (roses caramel vanilla raspberry orange and florals) none of that is felt and it is curious.
I don’t remember Oud Ispahan 100% but at first glance it seems super similar (perhaps more crude and rough), and it lasts (to put it vulgarly) a long time.
Something doesn’t add up; I tested Oud Touch on one wrist and Oud Vanille on the other, which the store offers as feminine. After half an hour, Oud Touch felt sweet and woody; the raspberry, caramel and rose had gone… I smelled the Vanille wrist and there was caramel, raspberry, some incense, a hint of rose/oud but with caramel highlighting more than the incense. Comparing them, Oud Vanille beat Oud Touch by a long way in trail, potency, projection and fixation of at least 15 hours. It smelled perfectly masculine. What amazed me most was that on Fragrantica they have the same notes in the pyramid, yet in reality they smell so different.
If I get fired one day, I’ll hood myself and go to my ex-boss’s office to empty a bottle of Oud Touch as revenge, or perhaps smash it on the carpet. Not suitable for sensitive noses; one thing is testing it on the cap and another on skin. They say it’s love or hate. By the quality it’s impossible to hate it, but also impossible to love it.
Franck Olivier Oud Touch. I’m a fan of the brand because it offers sincere fragrances that give what they cost. Although all I’ve tried exceeded expectations, this is the one that has gone completely mad on me. It’s strong, very strong, dense, knife-and-fork sharp. It starts sweet with a present acidic note. The incense provides that acidic counterpoint, giving an interesting twist to the sweet composition and avoiding it being cloying. Alongside the incense, the rose and a sweet amber accord stand out. It’s the typical rose-oud combo, except there’s no real oud. The fragrance is totally linear; as soon as you apply it, that’s how it stays until the end. It’s not bad, has nuances to avoid boredom. Not for daily use, better sporadic. Beastly longevity, at Mancera Red Tobacco level, you wear it all day. Eight-hour projection and a monstrous trail; be careful in enclosed spaces as it can be annoying. Cold climate, winter and night are most suitable. Not very versatile, but use it when you want, careful with the sprays. Totally unisex; my girlfriend uses it and loves it. Very good reception among women, quite sexy. For more info, check out my YouTube channel: Perfúmate Con JL.
In summary: a strong, deep, characterful eau de parfum with exceptional longevity, perfect for the night, with unbeatable value for money. Exquisite aroma; for the nostalgic, it reminds me of the discontinued Margaret Astor Yacaré from 1981.
What a perfume, what delicious… It’s the best oud/rose combo you can buy at this price. I bought it yesterday and I don’t want to take it off today. Moderate trail, projects about half a metre. Ingredient quality is very good, better than some of the niche ones I own. Ridiculous price, $30. Totally recommended, but as is customary in perfumery, it won’t last long; don’t delay discontinuing or reformulating it, so if you like this combo, buy as many bottles as you can. 10 out of 10. Edit: now that I use it more, I feel it has undeclared ambroxan; comparing it to Dior Sauvage Parfum, the dry-down is quite similar after hours.
I picked it up for €12 and decided to try it, but I admit this perfume is too much for me. Despite the quality, it’s overwhelming, excessive and intense like few others. The ‘pusillanimous’ forum user said it’s ideal to get you fired, and I couldn’t agree more. Perhaps that’s what Aznar meant by ‘weapons of mass destruction’; maybe Saddam kept a collection of this.
Beastly. Starts with a sharp oud and raspberry that puts people off, then smells like road tar. After an hour and a half it settles and the oud/sweet rose combo emerges, which is even kinder in the end. As an experience, it’s interesting for the price, but I can’t see when to wear it or if 90% of people will like it; they’ll be put off at first. I recognise its potency, longevity and long evolution; it breaks the mould of designer scents and passes for niche. I bought it blind and wouldn’t recommend it, but if you catch it for €12-€18, take the risk. If you don’t like it, wear it alone for the experience and because it’s different.
At first it smells like a Chinese bazaar; after half an hour it changes and dries down just like Dior Sauvage. The trail is moderate, skin-scent only, you’re the only one who notices it. Longevity is correct, about 5-6 hours. Very good for the price, although the first half-hour is unbearable.
Smells fantastic. I read it was hard to wear, but it isn’t. Very masculine, serious and elegant, so not super versatile. It stands up to any niche perfume; for the price, it’s a beast.
A polarising fragrance for the common person; I think it’s more for collectors. In my case, having few oud perfumes, it shocked me at first, but now I love it. It’s ideal for night outings in open spaces, dynamic and serious at the same time. Predominant notes: rose + frankincense (similar to oud). It smells odd, like animalic oud, like nappies with ‘poop’… perhaps it has its charm. I recommend trying it first.
Terrible disappointment. Personally, I haven’t liked it at all; blind buy to the bin, I don’t even want it on the shelf. I insist, this is a personal opinion. It’s not an oud perfume, which I already knew, but I expected a recreation of the softened rose-oud-vanilla combo with caramel, and nothing could be further from the truth. Horrible opening, shrill, and very synthetic; it smells of medicinal fruit powders with dense, heavy frankincense, and it doesn’t let up. It’s rough, ordinary, overwhelming, and intrusive. To make matters worse, the rose and vanilla are very artificial, like a super-charged Chinese air freshener, with too much patchouli and extremely heavy musk. It’s a fragrance that brushes against the animalic, but in an offensive way. Very linear: if you don’t like the opening, you won’t like the dry-down. It creates an insufferable mix, something tarred, black, thick, with no way to grasp it. It does last, it lasts the damn long; it’s a nightmare. I put it on at night and couldn’t sleep; I got up, changed sheets, and showered, and it still wouldn’t go away. I didn’t know what to use to neutralise it; in the end, I sprayed Guerlain’s Black Perfecto and finally managed to sleep. From my point of view, it’s not a recommended blind buy, and I can’t think of when to use it without suffocating and offending others; not even to an enemy. Well… thinking about it, it would make a good revenge. In this range, there are fantastic oud perfumes: Lattafa has wonders, Ted Lapidus, Maubossin, Mercadona, and even Zara has released varied and pleasant collections. Truly, for me, it’s not worth it, but if you’re lucky and like it, it’s totally unisex and will last a long time because spreading and lasting are its only qualities.
I’ve been wearing it for a few months. To me, it smells of overly strong rose candle; my girlfriend says it smells like the devil. I wouldn’t recommend it even to my enemy. 2/10.
A blend of quality and elegant accords that creates a certain confusion, and that disorder probably has to do with the characteristic oud simulation. Sweet and fruity opening due to the raspberry that invades the first few instants with a barely perceptible light caramel. Instantly, the magic begins: a perfect combo of soft, sweet, and talc-like rose with characterful, acidic, and spicy frankincense, resulting in an oud with a faecal, dirty, and slightly smoky aura. Thus emerges the entire phase from opening to nearly the end, revealing slight floral touches of patchouli and oud, which diminish in the base where it finishes dry, vanilla-scented, and ambered. Good longevity; projects very well for the first two hours before settling on skin. I see it for daily use and not as complicated as they say. Perhaps peculiar, but with immense character.
A difficult fragrance to wear, but with a unique scent. It opens caramelised with juicy raspberry, balancing towards the heart after an hour and a half: rose takes centre stage with extremely incisive, almost medicinal frankincense. That note emulates oud and gives it strong character. As it dries down, frankincense remains in lower intensity with a touch of amber and vanilla. Being economical, I don’t recommend buying it blind; you should know it’s hard to assimilate if you’re not used to those notes. In summary, highly notable, excellent price-to-quality ratio, notable performance, and a singular aroma. The only drawback is low versatility; in my opinion, it’s only for cold climates.
I was about to buy it blind. One day, after trying Dior’s Oud Ispahan and encouraged by reviews saying it’s very similar, I was one click away from doing so. Luckily, I pulled myself together and ordered a sample. I was right. I’ve given it many chances. I don’t like it. Even at two hours, it starts to displease me. For me, it’s a muddled mix of sweet and woody notes that don’t define themselves. Heavy and synthetic. It annoys my nose. Nothing like Oud Ispahan. There are inspirations that come closer. It’s clear that at 20 euros, you can’t expect miracles, but if you’re obsessed with Oud Ispahan, save up and share it. Don’t self-deceive with Oud Touch.
Very difficult to define. At home, my wife and daughters have banned it. Personally, I love it: it has beastly potency, lasts 14 hours on skin, and is extremely invasive; you leave no one indifferent. It’s original; the opening is strong, but if you give it half an hour and several chances, it can be a great option if you like to invade space with your fragrance. Exclusive use for cold weather, and the price is excellent. Not suitable for blind buys unless you don’t mind paying cheap and risking leaving it unused because you can’t stand it. But be warned, I absolutely love it 😅
Luckily I managed to get hold of it; it’s not easy to find in Argentina. It’s absolutely worth it. It’s not easy to assimilate: it’s challenging, intense, and warm. Although the development is flat, it’s very pleasant for oud lovers as the accord simulates it well. It’s not a super-challenging or dominant oud; it blends beautifully with a sweet rose and light vanilla. I have no issues wearing it in mild temperatures if dosed correctly; I use it most of the year except in summer. Performance is good, lasting over eight hours. If you’re looking for something more accessible than Oud Ispahan, try Natura’s Esencial Oud; it resembles Oud Touch very closely. Highly recommended.
It carries the name but doesn’t appear on the note list. Do I make myself clear?
A blend that brushes against perfection: synthetic yet masterfully executed. Long-lasting, linear, and charming. It features a very wearable oud (though undeclared) paired with raspberry and caramel, making it approachable despite being slightly harsh and sharp. Don’t be intimidated; it tames easily. Best suited for winter with a coat.
It’s a discovery, a bomb, a hidden gem in the budget category. Bought blind and sold as a clone of Dior’s Oud Ispahan (those over €300). My surprise was huge: at first, it reminded me of Chanel’s Coco EDP, but it evolves into sweet, smoky wood, like sugar burning on fire, with a delicate rose. There is no real oud among its notes, hence the name. Eternal longevity, projects all day. Be careful with application. Try it, you’ll regret it. Incredible quality for the price.
Oud Touch isn’t bad, but I’m not sure I’d wear it much. The incense with roses smells like grandma, although the woods give it a masculine touch. It’s elegant for certain occasions, aimed at an older audience. I don’t dislike it, but I don’t love it either.
This is what I expect from an Oud. In a sea of similar scents, Oud Touch stands out. Although it feels slightly synthetic, it compensates with a harmonious balance of notes. Its dry-down is devastating!
Sweet fruity, floral, then dries down to a resinous, earthy patchouli. Smells like oud even though it’s not declared, giving that impression throughout its life. Powerful, rough yet elegant, different and long-lasting. Only for perfume enthusiasts and lovers of an Arab vibe. Ideal for cold climates; it’s a beast mode. Smells expensive but offers an economic price. Those in the designer segment should try it before buying; they’ll be surprised by its potency.
Surprising, affordable, and long-lasting, yet not overly sweet. I like Franck Olivier for being honest and well-formulated. This Oud Touch is one of their best fragrances. It has parallels with Dior’s Oud Ispahan and a hint of Diptyque’s Oud Palao, but without trying to copy or deceive. It’s kinder, with a Westernised fake oud, ideal for those not seeking niche but wanting something different. Usable in cool climates, with an elegant touch and excellent value for money.
A cheap fragrance with a fake oud from this French house, Franck Olivier, made by Western snobs out of necessity. I don’t know what it is that I dislike. I used it twice and will throw it away. It seems poorly made. This isn’t hating; I own several Ouds by Olivier and have no issues with budget scents, but this makes me nauseous and repulsed. To each their own. Don’t buy blindly or because of influencers if you don’t want to waste your money.
Bought blind on Amazon (2020 batch). Upon opening, it smells like petrol/burnt plastic, but after 30 minutes it settles into something powdery and sweet with incense. It doesn’t contain real oud, but connoisseurs will notice; to others, it just smells like incense. After maceration, the plastic note disappears, leaving a sweet incense scent. Projects for 2-3 hours and lasts nearly 12 hours on skin (in cool weather). Suitable for those over 25 in semi-formal occasions. People have told me I smell like baptismal sweets or church, without malice. It causes olfactory fatigue quickly. Final note: 8/10.
I’m a fan of the rose-oud combo. Oud Touch is brilliant: caramelised, dark, and gothic rose, adorned with wood, a touch of dirty oud and incense, plus acidic raspberry and musky vanilla. It’s elegant, powerful, and leaves a massive trail. It lasts over 24 hours even after a shower. Use sparingly; it fills rooms. Lasts on clothes for months. Totally unisex. Try it before buying.
Smells of roses straight from the packaging. It’s the budget option to Ombre Nomade by LV or Oud Ispahan by Dior. It opens with incense, then orange, followed by a floral combo of violet, jasmine, and roses. Sometimes it smells like leather, reminiscent of Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather. After 15 minutes, raspberry and caramel emerge. By two hours, vanilla and amber join the roses, lasting around 7-8 hours. It’s a gem.
Smells like corrosive chemicals; it’s invasive and disgusting. Wearing it is an insult. If you’re a misanthrope, keep it in a sealed room; I had to sell it. I don’t understand what’s wrong with those who enjoy it.
