Description

Ryder by Ex Idolo is a sophisticated fragrance inspired by the exclusive members' clubs of London's St. James and Mayfair. It opens with a distinctive blend of sweet pipe tobacco and aromatic esters, setting a refined and slightly boozy tone. As it develops, a rich, resinous amber core emerges, beautifully complemented by a velvety jasmine note that adds a touch of elegance. The scent settles into an addictive base of ultra-rare Omani frankincense, providing a dry, glowing smoke, anchored by dark woods that lend structure and impressive longevity. This is a confident and luxurious scent that feels both timeless and modern. Perfumer: Matthew Zhuk
