Touch

7.4

Ann Ringstrand · 2017

Fresh · Green · Synthetic

Ann Ringstrand Touch is a unisex scent that links a fresh, green start to a spicy, woody and smoky base. The top holds carrot seed, juniper berry, black pepper and coriander seed, giving a dry, spicy freshness on the first spray. In the heart, gaiac wood and frankincense add a resinous, smoky tone. The base of oud, castoreum and papyrus settles it into a powdery, creamy, woody finish. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards autumn and spring, and suggest it for leisure, daily wear and the office. Masculine and feminine votes are evenly split, so it reads as genuinely unisex. Une Nuit Nomade Bohemian Soul and Buly Sumi Hinoki share a close profile.

Gather

7.6

Ann Ringstrand · 2017

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Ann Ringstrand Gather is a unisex scent that carries the coolness of thyme, pepper and mint into the resinous, forest-like air of pine and cypress. It opens fresh and spicy with thyme, pepper, mint and camphor. In the heart, incense resin, pine and cypress lead, and the scent turns green, smoky and resinous. The base of vetiver, moss, turpentine and cedramber settles into a dry, woody finish. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters see it as a daytime, leisure or office scent, with evening and night out further behind. It sits comfortably on anyone's skin and never turns heavy.
