Ryder

8.2

Ex Idolo · 2015

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Ex Idolo Ryder is a sweet, smoky unisex fragrance that suits autumn and winter evenings. Amber and resins carry the weight, while Omani frankincense and tobacco push it towards a spicy, smoky character. Jasmine softens that warmth a little, and woody notes hold the balance in the background. The overall impression is sweet, oriental and resinous. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and very few suggest summer. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and votes are split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, so it sits genuinely between the two. Mancera Red Tobacco and Xerjoff Empiryan have a close profile.

Thirty Three

8.2

Ex Idolo · 2013

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Ex Idolo Thirty Three is a floral, spicy unisex scent that suits autumn and winter evenings, with its sweetness set against a resinous, woody base. Candied mandarin meets black pepper at the start, while natural rubber adds an unusual, hard edge. In the heart, Chinese rose and Taif rose are softened by white tea and iris, with metal giving the floral part a cool sharpness. The base of patchouli, heliotropin and oud settles into an earthy, sweet, oriental finish. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so the scent sits right in the middle. Dueto Parfums City Love and Tom Ford Oud Fleur have a close profile.
