Frank Olivier Black Touch for Men Eau De Toilette Spray, 3.3 Ounce

In love with this one

This is a VERY pleasant surprise. I own an embarrassingly large wardrobe of fragrances and I buy almost evenly distributed from the cheaper synthetic designer fragrances up to the Montale, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Creed and Amouage. I sprayed this and right from the fist smell I couldn't believe it wasn't one of the more high-end designer fragrances, or dedicated fragrances houses.The package came in a somewhat loosely wrapped box, and the box didn't impress. However, the bottle is incredibly cool with the square center tilted at a few degrees outward from the main body of the bottle. A very cool touch.The fragrance: the closest I can describe it is Passage D'Enfer by L'Artisan Parfumeur. And close, it is. And I absolutely ADORE Passage D'Enfer. If this Black Touch is synthetic, perhaps it won't last as long on the skin, and so it does not appear to after about 1 hour of wearing it, but the comparison is to a very demure, elegant, coriander, lily, musk, extremely natural fragrance that costs $150 per bottle - and here it is, shockingly, for a bit over $20. I've had a spray of Passage D'Enfer on the other wrist to make sure I didn't dream it, and I have not - they are extremely, extremely close, with Passage D'Enfer having the barest edge on refinement and a clear edge on sillage. Longevity of the dry down is, shockingly, proving comparable.But this bottle has not only paralleled one of my top-25 fragrances in my entire (300+) wardrobe, but it has done so at around $22 delivered. I do not believe this is the self-same high-quality, natural components of that fine fragrance, but boy, is it close. Almost as great as if someone said, I can sell you a bottle of Montale Black Aoud for $20.It is a fascinating fragrance for someone who's had many. It has this wonderfully vegetal, coriander, light floral, dry basenote. It's not for young people clubbing and it's not for old people going to bingo, it's for people with variety and class, something unique. To wit, my wife isn't crazy about it, she thinks every wood scent smells like incense, and can't tell the difference between this and, say, Tauer's Incense Rose, or Messe de Minuit by Etro. So anything chypre in nature, any oudh or wood, or incense, she thinks is incense and won't take it seriously. It's just to say, fragrances in this range of uniqueness are polarizing and may not be completely accessible to those who don't appreciate a variety of fragrances.In other reviews I've criticized the fragrances that smell like 10 others you can buy for $10 to $100 per bottle - if you're in an elevator, will half of the other people have exactly the same fragrance? This one is terrific, it's a great niche in the chypre/floral area, and that it faithfully represents such a monumental blend as Passage D'Enfer, to me, is just absolutely stunning.So it's not a fragrance for everyman. It's a fragrance for those who know and appreciate fragrances. For this price, you are being given a treat. Much for little. Enjoy this!Happy days!

I bought this based on all of the reviews on here. I think it smells great as everyone else said. After 3 hours or so, I can't really smell it any longer. Other than that I love it.

It's ok

Someone recommended me that perfume. I tried it and I’m shocked. Absolutely amazing.

I am a collector, and this is one of the more unique bottles in my collection. It is a little challenging to wear if you’re new to the fragrance game, but the experience is totally worth it.Progression-wise, there is a sharp citrus and spice blast in the opening, a little dusting of sweet jasmine in the mid, and the dry down is woods, vanilla, and musk. There’s something slightly earthy/dirty (but in a totally great way) about it, and it slightly clashes with the citrus (which I think is grapefruit and/or bergamot), but then the jasmine and vanilla smooth it out, and it’s lovely.4-6 hours longevity, 2-3’ radius for the first hour or two, then a lovely, close, just-slightly-further-than skin scent.At this price, it’s absolutely a 5/5… and you’d have to double the price for me to lower that by even one point.Must-have cheapie. Do it.

Light scented give a natural feminine odor and freshness money well spent
