Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Touché by LPDO: A Bright and Fruity Summer Staple”
The opening of Touché by LPDO is impossible to ignore. It hits the air with a massive, sugary burst of passionfruit and peach that feels almost instantaneous. For those who want their fragrance to make a statement from the moment they hit the spray, this delivers an energetic, synthetic-fruit clarity that feels very much on-trend for 2023. It is not subtle, but that is clearly the intention behind this composition.
As the scent progresses, the heart reveals a surprising, smooth layer of caramel and pear. This is where the fragrance pivots from a simple fruit salad into something with more gourmand character. A hint of lily of the valley provides a necessary crispness that keeps the caramel from feeling too heavy or cloying in the heat. It is a smart balancing act, even if the transition happens relatively quickly on the skin.
By the time the dry-down arrives, the patchouli and musk take over, grounding the initial tropical excitement. The raspberry note mentioned in the base is subtle, acting more as an enhancer for the lingering sweetness of the heart rather than a distinct fruit on its own. It leaves a clean, slightly musky impression that feels pleasant and unchallenging, perfect for a casual afternoon where you want a reliable scent.
Performance is fairly standard for this category, landing squarely in the moderate camp. On my skin, I get about five to six hours before it fades to a skin scent, which is perfectly fine for daytime wear. The projection is strongest in the first two hours, creating a noticeable radius that draws positive attention without overwhelming a room. It behaves best in warmer, breezy weather when the heat helps the top notes radiate off the skin.
This fragrance is a fantastic fit for anyone who wants an easy, cheerful scent for spring and summer. It lacks the complexity of high-end niche offerings, but it succeeds as a fun, approachable, and affordable daily grab. It is particularly well-suited for younger collectors or those looking to expand their fruit-heavy rotation without spending a fortune.
Ultimately, Touché is a reliable, if not revolutionary, addition to the fruity-sweet category. If you enjoy bright tropical notes and want something that performs decently for the price, it is a solid contender. It fills a specific niche in a collection: the everyday, uplifting fragrance that pairs perfectly with casual outfits and warm sunshine.
FAQs
What is the primary scent profile of Touché?+
Touché is a fruit-forward fragrance dominated by passionfruit and peach. It carries a syrupy, tropical sweetness that feels vibrant and intense from the first spray. The base provides a soft, musky cushion that balances the initial sharp fruity notes as it warms on your skin throughout the day.
How does the fragrance change from opening to dry-down?+
It opens with a loud, almost electric burst of red fruits and passionfruit. As it settles, the heart notes of pear and caramel take over, adding a creamy, gourmand depth. The final dry-down on skin is a clean, musky raspberry that lingers longer than the initial tropical fruit notes.
Is this perfume long-lasting?+
Longevity is generally moderate, typically lasting around 5 to 6 hours on skin. While it starts with high intensity, it pulls closer to the body after the first two hours. If you wear it on fabric or in humid, hot weather, the fruity top notes may persist slightly longer.
Which seasons are best for wearing Touché?+
This fragrance thrives in spring and summer. The bright passionfruit and peach accords feel refreshing in warmer temperatures. During the heat of a summer day, the scent pops beautifully, whereas in winter, the lack of heavy spices might make it feel a bit thin or disjointed compared to denser winter scents.
What kind of occasions suit this fragrance?+
It is a fantastic choice for casual outings, beach days, or brunch with friends. Its cheerful, fruity character is not typically formal or boardroom-ready, making it better for relaxed settings where you want a noticeable but approachable trail. It works especially well for outdoor summer activities.
Does it lean more masculine or feminine?+
While marketed as unisex, the heavy emphasis on caramel, peach, and red fruits gives it a distinctly playful, sweet profile often associated with feminine-leaning scents. However, anyone who enjoys fruity, tropical, or gourmand profiles will find it wearable regardless of gender, especially in casual, humid settings.
How does it compare to other fruity scents like Kirke?+
Users often compare it to Tiziana Terenzi Kirke, though Touché is generally considered less piercing or screechy. It offers a similar vibe of intense, hyper-realistic fruitiness but with a slightly more tempered, gourmand-adjacent structure thanks to the caramel and lactonic base notes.
Is this a good fragrance for blind buying?+
Only blind buy if you absolutely love intense, sugary fruity scents. If you dislike sharp tropical fruit notes or highly sweet accords like caramel and raspberry, this will likely not be for you. Sampling first is recommended to see how the musk behaves on your specific skin chemistry.
Can I layer this with other perfumes?+
Yes, it works well for layering. Try pairing it with a clean, woody, or simple musk fragrance to ground the intense fruitiness of the passionfruit and peach. This can add complexity to the dry-down and help bridge the gap between the loud opening and the lighter base.
What is the sillage like?+
The projection is moderate to strong initially. You will definitely leave a scent trail for the first hour or two. After the mid-notes of pear and lily of the valley settle, it becomes more intimate, hugging the skin while still occasionally wafting up when you move in warm weather.
