Ann Ringstrand - Touch – Eau de Parfum

Ann Ringstrand TOUCH Eau de Parfum

A Scent of Intimacy – When Soul Meets Skin

TOUCH is not a fragrance that speaks loudly – it whispers. Yet its presence is unmistakable. It lingers like a memory, tender and deep. This creation from the premiere fragrance collection by Swedish designer Ann Ringstrand captures the subtle yet profound language of human connection. It evokes emotional closeness, the silent electricity of bodies near each other, the quiet intensity of skin meeting skin.

Minimalist Construction, Profound Sensuality

The composition opens with a restrained and refined freshness: juniper berry, black pepper, coriander seeds, and the earthy touch of carrot seeds. The effect is not bright or floral, but introspective – like stepping into a sun-dappled studio, windows ajar, air scented with soft spice and thought.

In the heart of the fragrance, guaiac wood and olibanum (frankincense) unfold like a meditative breath. These notes lend depth and calm – a spiritual, almost sacred stillness that envelops You in a sense of clarity, presence, and inner quiet.

Castoreum-sub – The Warmth of Skin, Reimagined

The base note is where TOUCH reveals its most intimate character. Papyrus and oud form a dry, elegant foundation, enriched by the star of the base: Castoreum-sub. This modern synthetic molecule is a vegan interpretation of traditional castoreum, once derived from beaver glands. Today, such animal-based ingredients have been widely replaced for ethical reasons – yet perfumers still seek their sensual, skin-like effect.

Castoreum-sub in TOUCH recreates that warm, leathery-skin quality in a compassionate, modern way. It smells like the warmth of a neck, the quiet pulse beneath fingertips, the memory of an embrace. Powdery, soft, slightly animalic – but always graceful, never loud.

This is not a perfume for display – it’s a fragrance to live with. To wear like a second skin, invisible yet powerfully felt.

Ann Ringstrand – Scent as an Extension of Thoughtful Design

Swedish designer Ann Ringstrand, co-founder of Hope STHLM, created her eponymous fragrance line to extend her vision of quiet aesthetics, emotional presence, and timeless clarity into the world of perfumery. TOUCH is her most personal scent, born from an introspective moment, crafted as a tribute to genuine connection and shared humanity.

It’s about presence – not performance. It’s about honesty – not excess. And it’s about touch – in every sense of the word.
