Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a boozy, smoky, vanilla dream; for others, it's a headache in a bottle. If you like your fragrances bold and grown-up, this could be your new winter staple. Don't blind buy unless you're feeling brave.
Ryder is a dark, complex amber with a loyal fan base, though some find it a bit too similar to existing amber heavyweights. It's refined and intense, but be warned, a few unlucky souls experienced a 'spittoon' vibe.
