Nice touch although not so black
I will just pick up the last opinion to build an equation.
60% Terre D’Hermes + 30% Encre Noir + 10% X
= 100% Black Touch
I still wonder about the X in this equation. My best guess is 10% of Angel Men mainly in the opening.
It opens with an alcohol blast.Then you get a very good spicy sweet citrus opening (sweetened with caramel). There is also touch of cardamom. The opening notes endure through the heart notes.With the hearth notes I mainly detect the orange blossom and some white flowers. Basically you have a 2nd stage with some fainting opening notes but with a strong vibe of caramel /grapefruit / orange blossom that blends with some dirtiness coming from vetiver and cedar of the closing notes. During the dry down the woody scents become a lot more cleaner. The sweetness persists probably due to the vanilla and musk notes. At the peak, the sillage reaches 3~4 feet. After 4~5 hours it becomes a skin scent and vanishes after 6~7 hours. With higher temperatures (or sweaty skin) it projects more, the sillage reaches 6 feet and the skin scent dies after 8 hours.
This fragrance is not as black as the name suggests. Probably is just a “touch” dark. It’s perfect for Spring, Autumn, Winter, day or night. You may even use it during the summer at night. Performance is average for this type of notes. The bottle is nice and solid and the sprayer is very good.Let’s see the maths for Frank Olivier’s Black Touch:
– Scent: 8.0 (very good – my judgement)
– Longevity: 7.5 (7 hours +)
– Sillage: 7.0 (3~4 feet for 2 1/2 hours with 3 sprays on cold weather; average projection for 2 hours); practical skin scent till the 7th hour.
– Uniqueness: 8.0 (not really unique as it resembles mainly Terre d’Hermes but it’s not a clone).
– Wearability: 8.0 (almost allways except hot weather)
– Versatility: 8.0 (everywere and attracts compliments; exceptional for “close” encounters).
– Quality: 8.0 (my judgement)
– Presentation: 8.0 (nice but not outstanding)
– Price: 8.5 (100 ml for 20 Euros + VAT)
Average: 7.89 / 10.00
In my top 10? No! But good enough for daily informal use and “close” encounters.
Will I buy it again? Probably.
Will I recommend it? YES! You will not make much better for 20 Euros, and this fragrance is very pleasant!
