What wearers say
“It would be easy to dismiss this as a TdH clone but it does offer a different enough take on TdH to be worth owning, especially for the price. There is no over ripe orange note nor is there any sweetness to this. I'd say Black Touch is acting drier, more woody and slightly smoky as compared to TdH. Longevity and projection are superb, easily lasting 10 to 12 hours on my skin and projecting for six of those. For the price, worth a buy.”
“Black Touch is a great fragrance and a steal at $20. I don't get much Encre Noire off my skin like some do I just get a TdH/Belmont vibe. Longevity on my skin with 4-5 sprays is about 7-8hrs with moderate sillage, a spray or two on my shirt gave me another couple hours of longevity and better sillage. I'm very happy with my bottle and would recommend checking Black Touch out.”
“Every time I wear this I like it more. I get the comparisons to Terre, but my take is that this really stands on it's own. It's not a beast but it lasts 8 to 10 hours and always politely let's you know that it's there. It has a very smooth, almost creamy quality to it. This is one that just smells good and I'm betting it'll be a great Summer frag. Lastly, it's doesn't smell overly synthetic, very high quality but priced very affordably.”
