The classic image of a stylish, self-assured, elegant gentleman, always ready to assist a vulnerable beautiful lady, requires a special addition. The best ornament for a representative of the stronger sex can be a refined perfume from the series of French fragrances created by the legendary European brand Franck Olivier. The scent of Black Touch eau de toilette has already become incredibly popular among true connoisseurs of classic fragrances, who value the simplicity and quality of a worthy perfume.
A unique exquisite composition has been created by masters of their craft with special love. Luxurious initial scent accents highlight the mystery and resilience of the masculine spirit with a juicy burst of grapefruit, seasoned with Oriental and Mediterranean spices. The "heart" of the fragrance composition is elegantly painted in tones of jasmine, geranium, magnolia, and fresh orange blossom. The masculine charm and magnetism are accentuated by the hues of Virginian cedar and Egyptian vetiver, vividly highlighted by the fragrant leaves of patchouli and sweet vanilla.

This product is not long-lasting at all. It disappears within 2 hours. The scent is very peculiar, and my husband and I didn't like it. I was expecting a typical "masculine note," but it's just a mix of tar, carrot, and damp rags. Unfortunately, that's how I perceive it.
The scent is very vibrant and distinct, and it lasts quite well for a toilet water (approximately over 4 hours). I purchased it without testing, based on the description, and I am satisfied with my choice.
I bought this perfume for my boyfriend. The scent is very strong, not for everyone and definitely not for the younger generation. I did not like it.
I usually don't leave reviews, but this time I have some doubts... I ordered two fragrances from FO, Black Touch and Night Touch. No issues with Night Touch - it's great for the price, long-lasting and has a good sillage! However, I have some concerns about Black Touch because I have ordered it a few times before from Makeup. The packaging seems fine, the air-tight cap is present, but the sticker at the bottom of the bottle is not the same as it used to be (I'm attaching a photo). And the scent itself has also lost its strength, it's not long-lasting (1-2 hours) and I can't even smell it on my clothes after 3 hours... The scent was never really similar to Terre or Blackberry before, but now it's completely off! If it had any resemblance to Terre, it's maybe around 10% and slightly woody, and around 10% of blackberry, with some sweetness added... In conclusion: if you could buy this fragrance for everyday use before, now it's not worth even the small amount of money they ask for it! I don't recommend it! Separate thanks to Makeup for the gift!)
The scent is okay, but definitely not a masterpiece. It seems like they diluted the classic Encre Noir three times and added a bit of Black XS. It's pretty basic, but not repulsive. It might be suitable for a less demanding user.
Not worth its price. Disappointing. Doesn't cause any aversion, but it's just mediocre.
Finally got it :) because it doesn't appear for a long time. The impressions are pleasant - indeed, at the start, there is a lot of incense, then it becomes softer and more spicy, there is cardamom, there is geranium, in the end, you can also feel vanilla, musk, and patchouli (how can you do without them), but overall, it is a story about vetiver from beginning to end, but with a leaning towards the darker side, in my opinion - darker than Terre d'Hermes, but it doesn't have the same ink notes as Lalique. For those who like vetiver, smoky, spicy-woody scents, I can recommend it without testing. For lovers of sweet, floral, gourmet, fresh scents - definitely not because it is the opposite. And for those looking for an alternative to Encens Noir - also no, the main highlight there is the smell of ink, which is not pronounced here. Similarly, for those looking for a more budget-friendly Terre d'Hermes - after all, there the vetiver is deeper and sharper (in this regard, you can look at the very budget-friendly and of course simpler than Hermes - Ellysse Genius - in its base, it is 90% similar and by the way, long-lasting).
I have two versions of ink - Sport and A Lextrem, as well as Terre D'herm in EDP. So, please don't be offended, but I have nothing to say about Black Touch from Hermes, except maybe it's slightly similar to Iso E Super. Upon the first test of Black Touch, I noticed a reference to Noir Acro. As an alternative, it definitely has its place. I have no regrets about the purchase.
Gorgeous fragrance. Long-lasting performance. Highly recommend it!
I don't know who can smell Ink in this fragrance... I specifically bought it because I'm a fan of ink... but the scent "Black Touch" has nothing to do with ink. It's not even close. It's like it wasn't even near it. Yes, there are some similar notes to Hermes, but still, it's not it. In my opinion, this fragrance is unique but average, nothing extraordinary or special about it. I didn't notice any significant development or lingering scent on the first day. Overall, I expected more based on the numerous thematic reviews. I'll keep it in my collection for variety.
Quiet elegance. Smells like a man! We really liked the scent, when I inhale it, I can detect smoke and sweetness, spices, hot pepper, crunch, and vanilla. It is not fresh, but thick and tangy, yet not overwhelming.
Everyone has different taste in perfumes, so I cannot recommend it!
But I really love how my husband smells in this perfume and his clothes! This perfume is suitable for any weather and age, perfect for a dark-eyed 40-year-old brunette! I will try everything from this brand.
Thank you, Makeup, I appreciate you and love you very much.

It's not fresh, it's thick and bitter but in moderation, it doesn't suffocate. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to perfume, so I can't recommend it! But, I really love how my husband smells in this perfume and his clothes! This perfume is timeless and ageless, perfect for a dark-eyed, 40-year-old brunette! I will try everything from this brand. Thank you, Makeup, I appreciate you and love you very much.
This is my first review. I want to share my opinion. I received a fragrance. It's quite interesting. At first, I noticed a similarity to Lalique Encre Noire. However, in my opinion, this one is more suitable for people aged 30+. It gives off a slight smoky or campfire scent. Definitely not for those who prefer fresh or citrusy fragrances. Overall, it didn't really work for me. I bought it based on reviews. The fragrance is interesting, but it's better to test it first. Thank you, Makeup, everything was prompt as always.
My husband likes everything I buy. I am a perfume aficionado. I have to say, I bought this blindly, based on the notes and reviews. I wanted something heavier for the winter, something intense. At first, it was overpowering, but after about 10 seconds, it starts to unfold. For me, it has a purely masculine scent, with beautiful heart notes. The longevity is excellent. It's a very personal preference, but to me, this fragrance feels more niche. I am satisfied, it is a worthy perfume for young people.
Rating: 5 stars
The scent is fantastic, masculine. I bought it blindly, relying on the reviews, and it lived up to all expectations. It was delivered quickly, thank you all.
This fragrance is fantastic. It is an affordable scent that is often compared to Encre Noir and Terre d'Hermes. In my opinion, Black Touch leans more towards d'Hermes, which I really like. As a standalone fragrance, Black Touch has a more individual and soft tone, without the basement undertones present in Encre Noir and d'Hermes.
The scent is subjective. It is definitely suitable for winter and autumn. However, I won't buy it anymore as it's not my preference. I want to thank the courier Vitaliy for his promptness and punctuality. I believe that such people should be supported by companies with various incentives. He is polite, punctual, and has a sense of humor. Thank you, Mykap, I hope you will take this into consideration.
The fragrance exceeded all expectations, and I am delighted! I bought it blindly, and it was three times more enjoyable! I will definitely repurchase it, and I believe not just once.
This is a great perfume. The scent is luxurious and suitable for any occasion. It has its own uniqueness and is not similar to other fragrances. I believe it would be suitable for men over 35 years old. The lasting power is impressive, as it leaves a strong trail and lasts for a long time. The scent fully unfolds after 10-15 minutes. I highly recommend it, as I personally liked it. I purchased it based on reviews and feedback, and I have no regrets about my purchase.
With such a powerful and long-lasting scent, I have no doubt about its authenticity. It truly has a strong woody and spicy aroma. I am very satisfied with my purchase and I am even considering buying a 100ml bottle as a backup while the price is still reasonable online. The key is to spray 1-2 sprays, if you use more, you might overpower those around you with a strong trail.
