Touch for Women

Touch for Women arrives as a fruit-forward feminine that prioritises the juicy rather than the precious. Michel Girard has constructed something genuinely playful here—the Californian orange and dewberry open with a refreshing tartness, but it's the blackcurrant that provides the real backbone, lending a slightly tart, almost cassis-like depth that prevents this from becoming merely cheerful. The fragrance wears closer to skin than modern fruity florals, which is rather the point; this is an intimate proposition rather than a declaration.

What distinguishes Touch is how the heart notes sprawl across the composition without ever becoming muddy. The peach and raspberry intensify the fruit narrative, whilst the tuberose and jasmine emerge not as separate florals but as a billowing, creamy softness that blurs with the stone fruit sweetness. Madonna lily—that clean, almost waxy floral—keeps matters from tipping into pure gourmand territory. There's an elegance here, a restraint that suggests someone who wore fragrances for themselves, not for audiences.
