Balsamic medicine forest

What Ann Ringstrand has gathered here is ultimately a green-balsamic fragrance that I would have applied to myself in bottles printed with mountain pine oil in the past for muscle cramps or the like. Applied. Well, quite so simple it is not and especially I like such smells but from the front:
Ann Ringstrand is Swedish, but apparently lives in New York and sells not only fragrances. Maybe they are the appropriate olfactory companions to the other merchandise for sale, I don't know. In any case, three fragrances were launched in 2017, one of which is Gather.

The first impression described above does not manifest itself later entirely, comes mainly because fresh mint meets camphor. This smells now times like eucalyptus, thereby intense and cooling, another - for me more sterile - coolness than the mint inherent. At the beginning, this ethereal firework is the result, which is close to the remedies for aches and pains that originate in the woods. Of course, it does not stop there. Pepper spices the melange and puts Gather wider.

The cypress with its limey nature already works with, acts still in the background, which is good. Their strong fragrance is integrated but not flaunted. Great job! Rather, the pine puts itself in the foreground, the fragrance will be familiar. Balsamic resinous, intense smelling clears the nose. No fun and also understandable since one can use among other things eucalyptus oil for inhalations with colds. My wife prepares there regularly with sniffles of the children what, so I can judge that to some extent.

At the bottom is smoked resin, which is of course a broad term. My guess and guess is burgundy resin, extracted from spruce. Firstly because regionally available and because Gather doesn't stand out for exotic ingredients.
Secondly, because the scent is tart and woody, with a balsamic-etheric effect. This is true of burgundy resin. Not a few resins are sweetish see benzoin resins, which is not the case here at all and I wanted to try deduction.

Turpentine I can not make out, this tart subliminal scent can of course be turpentine, if you like to interpret it that way. For me, this is rather a solid moss base and above just the resins mentioned. Gradually it becomes more pleasing and even if I appreciate Gather very much: for me this is a room scent, not a perfume. I like this scent very much and it makes me feel good, but it's too close to nature's medicines for me to wear it. If forest, then with pleasure romantically transfigured like with Arso or soberly and thereby skillfully like with Hwyl or Arborist. Still great.
