New in fragrance: Ryder by Ex Idolo
I first learned about Ex Idolo through an Instagram conversation, which then prompted a discussion on the notes of this fragrance, notes which sounded exactly like what I gravitate towards. And while there’s much I appreciate about mainstream brands, I’m always excited to discover something new — Ryder, is all that … and more.

I can tell you this: I’ve complete fallen for one — can you guess which?
