Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Bergamot opens it with a clean citrus lift that fades quickly, handing off to a soft floral heart where bluebell and violet do most of the work — powdery but not heavy, with iris adding a cool, slightly rooty depth. Peach sits underneath without going fruity or sweet; it just rounds the florals. The cedar and vanilla dry-down is warm and understated, leaving a quiet musk trail with modest projection and close sillage. Inoffensive in the best sense, it wears like a second skin by mid-afternoon — ideal for office wear in spring or early fall, particularly for someone who finds most florals too loud.
Opens with a sharp, almost candied burst of strawberry and sour cherry — more lip-gloss than fresh fruit — before violet softens the edge and jasmine nudges it toward something warmer. The heart never fully goes floral; the gourmand pull is too strong, dragging everything toward vanilla and amber with a quiet patchouli hum underneath. Oud is present but restrained, adding shadow rather than smoke. Dry-down is cozy and skin-close, with musk and vanilla dominating. Projection is moderate; sillage lingers without announcing itself — Best worn in cold weather by someone who wants sweet without going full dessert.
How they overlap
Touch for Women and Her share 3 notes (violet, musk, vanilla). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (5 unique to Touch for Women, 6 unique to Her) are where the divergence happens.
