on me this is just a whisper… of a promise that never get fulfilled. I find it’s too expensive for a whisper too.

A resinous amber based perfume which leans on the sweet and smoky side. This effect is beautifully achieved by layering the central ambery note with vanilla, incense, tobacco, jasmine, balsamic resin (I think tolu), and wood notes. Sweet (but not cloying), edgy, noirish, unisex juice that has a pronounced sillage and projection. This is intended for lovers of amber and resinuous perfumes, think of a brighter Slumberhouse offering. This evolves beautifully with the initial smoky amberish opening giving way in the dry down to a beautiful vanillic incense. Beautiful blending here, here is another winner from the house that brought you Thirty Three. Now available in 50 ml bottles. Enjoy!

Oh my. This is really wonderful. Other than the obvious amber accord, I dont really get the AA comparison. Although I love Amber Absolute, it’s much more rough around the edges and a wee bit polarizing compared to Ryder. IMO, Ryder is AA’s angelic little brother while AA is the naughty older brother that sneaks out after hours for a bit of romping. lol Definitely try worthy. Bopper Approved.

I have utterly no idea whether this is just me, or the sample that I had was bad, but I was almost completely anosmic to this scent. I’ve watched several reviews on YouTube which describe the longevity and sillage as being good to superb. However, when I sprayed it on, I basically got an EXTREMELY faint vanillic, balsamic amber with undertones of incense (highly reminiscent of Ambre Sultan – except, and I can’t emphasize this enough, very faint and very close to the skin). Was this anyone else’s experience too, or do you think my sample was just bad and I should order another one? If you have any suggestions, please feel free to drop me an e-mail and let me know. I’d be curious to read other people’s opinions.

I definately understand the resemblance to amber absolut, except it has a slightly more vanilic vibe to it. That is about the entire fragrance to me. The price per ml is actually less for ex Idolo ryder. That combined with the fact that amber absolut is discontinued (except for their re-release) makes ex idolo ryder a good choice for someone who wants amber absolut cheaper, or simply can’t find it.

It gets more Amber and resin as it drys down but just a first impression after having it on for an hour, this comes on (to my nose and on my skin) so much like Tom Ford’s Tobacco Oud (one of my very favorote scents of all time) that it seems redundant to purhase this too.
Except I probably will. Because dear lord it is magnificent.
Ill update after a few more wears but honestly if it’s between this and TF’s T.O., I’m still reaching for Mr. Ford. I will also say that in the “CEO ultimate scent competition” this blows Roja Dove’s Enigma out of the water with prejudice.

This is IT. This, in my opinion, is THE scent for the refined. This is elegance personified, or rather, olfactified. Yes, I just made that up. Sillage with this one is moderate, but it lasts for hours on skin. Ryder contains every note I love and they coalesce to form something amazing. It’s classified as unisex, but leans more towards the masculine side of the spectrum to me. It brings to mind the smell of violin rosin in a study full of books, expensive leather chairs, and the faint scent of vanilla pipe tobacco in the air. The presence of jasmine is negligible. I hardly smell it. I only smell slightly boozy, resinous perfection. It goes on easy. This is not a heavy one that chokes the nostrils. It’s smooth and mildly sweet. The amber really shines here. It doesn’t evolve much, but it doesn’t need to. It goes on perfect and STAYS perfect. This gets a 10 out of 10 in my book.

Loved this on first application,sweet,smokey with a tiny undertone of olive, but then it turned to straight chewed tobacco on me. I ended up smelling like a spitoon and had to scrub it off

J’aime les parfums qui racontent une histoire, évoque une ambiance comme celui-ci.
Lorsque je le sens, j’ai l’impression de me retrouver dans un club anglais. C’est la magie du parfum.

Simple sweet pipe tobacco with excellent longevity. Monolithic, no evolution. Smells a bit patchouley and vintage, dusty and musty like an old library, my kind of fragrance, but is extremely overpriced for what it is; there are many better than this but less pricey and pretentious and more complex in their evolution. 33 presented on me the same character: a simple dusty and patchouley vintage rose…
6,5/ 10 considering the price
australian – :
This is a resinous, boozy amber that’s slightly woody with a hint of sweet tobacco. Beautifully constructed fragrance, it actually becomes stronger and more complex throughout the dry down. I experienced better development, longevity and projection than with Amber Absolute. As a devoted amber lover and I put this at the top of my list of must-have ambers. 9/10. Highly recommended.

Oh Ryder! I love your brother 33 and am not let down by you. Musty, dusty, Amber, resinous with a hint of sweetness, no cloying here. So glad I bought this, Amber lovers must try this.
k2 – :
This, layered with 33 is a match made in heaven!

A fragrance friend gave me a sample of Ex Idolo Ryder and on first sniff I was amazed how similar this is to Amber Absolute! Beautiful stuff… Wearing it today and so far its taking me on a journey! Cant stop sniffing my arm!
I smell resinous amber, vanilla and a boozy tobacco type vibe. Perfect! This is a must get if you don’t want the new Amber Absolute version!
Константин Капустин – :
Holy amber smoke! This is a little overwhelming. Seems very sweet, as well, making it very cloying. I would go into further detail, but nothing else happens, other than softening a bit through the dry down. Not my cup, but to each their own. Pass and thumbs down.

At first I was skeptical, this fragrance is expensive and, just applyed, it reminded me of other ambers I already own, good quality and less pricy ones, such as 1996, Amber Fetiche (less the leather) and even L’ Air du Desert for many aspects. But, as time passed by, I discovered many, lovely nuances (ALWAYS WEAR a perfume before judge!!) that make this one different from those I mentioned; something more animalic, something more sour-smoky, and also, the tabacco-note.
Yes, it’ s a sweet amber, sweeter than Ambre Sultan and not that spicy, maybe a little cloyng for someone among us; it’s less dense than Ambra Aurea but also less sweet than Tauer’s.
Sorry for comparing so many perfumes, but I well know that, for amber lovers, collecting so many different and excellent examples of this note is important.
Sillage is not a “trail”, but who is near you will easily detect; longevity is more than 14 hours, two days if you spray on clothes also.
Even if I already own the superb perfumes I recalled before, I will add this beauty as soon as possible to them.

As a sweet, dusty amber burning on a pyre of smoky wood with a generous helping of spicy frankincense, Ryder sits neatly in the unisex zone. Jasmine and tobacco are perceptible but not key players in Ryder, actually I didn’t pick them out till after looking at the note pyramid. Vanilla tends to smooth rough edges and create a creamy amber for me but Ryder remains rather rugged throughout. Sillage is average and longevity good. I love 33 but I like Ryder, my adoration for HG Ambre Sultan remains unshaken.

I wasn’t into the first Ex Idolo release, but I saw the appeal as the scent was a reasonably well crafted drunken rose. This one is a step down in that the construction and the effect are both mediocre. It’s basically Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute merged with Dior’s Fève Délicieuse. Fold a creamy coumeric note in with a debilitated Amber Absolute and add a touch of dried fruit-like tobacco and that’s about it. Sweet, cloying, and forgettable; it’s your standard, predictable “modern masculine” sugar-cakes scent. Pure, unadulterated bro-nip.
Smoker – :
I now own a full bottle of Ryder by Ex Idolo after sampling it last week. Full bottle and full bodied at that. Quality ingredients went into this concoction with a rich smelling pipe tobacco that isn’t too treacly like some high quality fragrances. I do detect the jasmine in this, but it “feels” like the jasmine had a quick dip in some fine liquor and dusted with frankincense. Beautiful colored amber liquid.
I own and love 33 so I may be biased..
9/10

Ryder by Ex Idolo :
Wow, haven’t been this impressed with a blind buy in a very long time. Fans of Profumum Ambra Aurea and Tom Ford Amber Absolute, this is a must sniff….Undoubtedly, there are similar characteristics, especially the unique amber accord.
The best way I know how to describe this is….Dark, dry, dusty, and mildly resinous accompanied by high quality frankincense (not listed here in the notes yet identified by Ex Idolo in their note breakdown.) There is an underlying sweetness to this fragrance that isn’t cloying. Easily recognizable sweet pipe tobacco makes an appearance. I do not detect any jasmine (which is a good thing in my opinion.) This is not a challenging fragrance by any means…and it is incredibly long lasting. One spray applied to my wrist lasted over 6 hours (I stopped checking.) This will get a lot of use in my collection this fall.

Looking forward to Ryder since I have 33 and love it.
