A confident woody spicy built around crisp citrus, velvety florals, and earthy woods, Franck Olivier Black Touch opens with a lively crackle of spices swirling over grapefruit, cardamom, and bergamot before easing into a polished heart where geranium, orange blossom, jasmine, and magnolia add lift and sheen. It dries down on a suave trail of vetiver, cedar, patchouli, musk, and vanilla that feels modern, clean, and quietly magnetic for daily wear.

Story and Positioning
Part of the Touch line alongside Blue Touch, White Touch, and Night Touch, Black Touch is positioned by the brand as elegant simplicity for free spirits, spotlighting noble materials with an easy to admire freshness over dark woods. If you enjoy bright citrus vetiver signatures in the vein of Terre d’Hermès or the inky woods of Lalique Encre Noire À L’Extrême, this sits in a similarly refined space while staying accessible for office and evening.
Bottle and Design
A sleek monochrome presentation underscores the name. The square black flacon features the house’s emblem set within a recessed front panel for a subtle play of light, topped with a matching cap that seats neatly over a bright collar. The proportions read solid and architectural, and the broad base keeps the bottle steady on a shelf.
