Touch Red Edition (5ml) Description

Touch Red Edition is a concentrated perfume oil from Gandour, marketed in compact size (5 ml) under the “Touch” line with several colour‑editions (Red here) indicating variant. It is described as alcohol‑free, oil‑based, with a “sweet” fragrance profile, suited for both men and women. For example one Nigerian listing: “An Oil, based perfume … 5ml perfectly tailored for the modern man and woman. Guaranteed Long lasting, up to 72 hours on fabric.”

Another retailer notes the Red Edition explicitly: “5ml Touch Concentrated Perfume Oil – Red Edition … Unisex oriental‑woody fragrance. Alcohol‑free, long‑lasting.”

In short: it’s a budget‑friendly, travel‑friendly oil perfume with decent claims of longevity, designed for everyday or occasional wear.

Format

Size: 5 ml (oil perfume) is the standard size in listings.

Type: Concentrated perfume oil (attar style) rather than spray. It is described as “oil‑based perfume” and “alcohol‑free.”

Packaging: Small vial or bottle in red‑themed label/packaging (Red Edition) – convenient for pockets/travel.

Intended use: Direct application on skin pulse points; user instructions indicate roll‑on or dab style usage. E.g., “Apply oils on pulse points … wrists, inside elbows, base of neck …”

Sensory Profile

While exact official note breakdown is not widely published, aggregated information gives us an approximate picture:

Top / Opening: According to one listing: “Oil‑based perfume … sweet fragrance … up to 72 hours on fabric.” Suggests a vibrant, rich opening (perhaps sweet, warm, slightly bold) rather than ultra‑fresh/citrus.

Heart / Middle: The listing for Red Edition describes it as “oriental‑woody fragrance” for men and women.

So likely there are warm oriental spices or woods in the heart.

Base / Dry Down: The longevity claim (“up to 72 hours on fabric”) suggests a strong base of woods, resins, musks. One listing: “Unisex oriental‑woody fragrance.”

Overall Impression: Expect a sweet‑warm oil perfume with orientally wood‑rich undertones, moderate to good staying power (especially on fabric), compact size for convenience.

Wear & Suggestion

When to wear: Because it has a warm‑oriental‑woody profile and is oil‑based (concentrated), it’s well suited for evenings, social outings, dates, and cooler parts of the day. However the compact size means it also works for travel or casual day use if you prefer richer scent.

How to apply: Use sparingly — since oils are concentrated: dab on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears). If you’re comfortable with stronger presence, maybe a little on clothing or the inner lapel. Because of the “72 hours on fabric” marketing, a small dab on fabric may boost longevity.

Style pairing: Fit for smart‑casual to formal evening wear; a nice shirt or jacket or casual blazer would match the richer feel. For daytime in warm/humid climate like Lagos one might apply lightly so as not to be overwhelming.

Climate note: In tropical/humid conditions the oil base can adhere well to skin, but the projection may be softer compared to sprays; heat can intensify certain notes, so begin light and test.

Best seasons/time: Good for autumn/winter evenings, indoor events; also for air‑conditioned environments. For midday outdoor heat you may prefer lighter fragrances, but this could still work if applied modestly.

Helpful Tips

Less is more: With concentrated oil perfumes, over‑application can lead to overwhelming scent or unwanted strong trail. Start with one dab and wait ~30 minutes to see dry‑down. One listing suggests applying 30 minutes before going out to allow notes to settle.

Application on skin vs fabric: Oils cling well to skin; a small dab on clothing can help longevity but be sure fabric tolerates any oil mark.

Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight and high heat (important in warm climates) to preserve scent integrity and avoid can/cap damage.

Layer with neutral base: Use an unscented body lotion or cream so skin is hydrated and the oil glides better; avoid other strong scents that could clash.

Carry in bag: The 5 ml format is perfect for pocket/travel/backup—good for refreshing during day or on-the-go.

Test first: Because skin chemistry matters (especially for oil‑based fragrance), test it in your environment (warm/humid) to see how it evolves.

Authenticity & sourcing: As it’s a value oil perfume widely sold, ensure you buy from a reputable retailer, check packaging, bottle quality, batch code, and that it’s sealed.

When not ideal: If you’re going to a very hot outdoor midday event in direct sun and want something ultra‑light and fresh, you may prefer a lighter spray. This one leans richer.

Gift‑friendly: The small size and affordable price make it a good introductory gift or to try a new scent profile without large investment.
