The Story
“Herbal pine and a light citrus over a woody base.”
The nose is earthy and sweet: herbal pine and a light citrus over a woody base. The effect is gentle and clear — a relaxed, focused calm with minimal intoxication, functional and soothing.
It's smooth and mild, a favourite for daytime therapeutic use. For a CBD-forward blend with a clear head, Ringo's Gift is a standout.
