Riders

I’ve been wearing this for a week and it’s the kind of scent that makes people stop mid-sentence to ask what it is—the composition feels curated and never overpowering. It lasts through a full workday on my skin, which is rare for a niche pick.

This one’s a head-turner, not in a loud way, but in that “what are you wearing?” kind of way. The dry-down is what got me, it’s got that curated, niche depth you just don’t find in department store stuff. I keep reaching for it even though I’ve got a full shelf of other samples.

I was a bit hesitant given the price, but the scent really is distinctive and unlike anything I've smelled in a mainstream store. It lasts a solid workday on me, though I do wish the projection were just a touch stronger.
