Burberry Touch for Women is a fruity floral eau de parfum from Burberry, launched in 2000. 

It opens with a crowd of fruit: cranberries, black currant, peach and blackberry, with cassia, rose oil and red pepper adding a little spice. The heart is jasmine, lily, tuberose, peony and lily of the valley, with raspberry and peach mixed in. Vanilla, almonds, tonka beans and oakmoss sit underneath.

Peach is listed twice, once in the top notes and again in the heart, it works like a thread, so when the berries and pepper fade the peach stays behind and carries the fruit into the flowers without a gap. The base does something different. Oakmoss is a traditional material for dry, earthy depth, and here it sits beside vanilla, almonds and tonka. Soft, but not sugary. Neither the listed pyramid nor Burberry's own description mentions musk, so the skin-close softness comes from the vanilla, almond and tonka. Anyone after a tuberose perfume should know it shares the heart with four other flowers and never takes over.
