Which Should You Buy?
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some calling it a stunning amber and others a burnt mess. Expect a syrupy, smoky amber with divisive performance, so don't blind buy.
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.

Its dense, smoky amber profile and reported strong projection, though divisive, make it less suited for an office environment. However, its rich and boozy nature lends itself well to formal events and date nights, particularly in colder weather.
