Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably unique, De Los Santos is Byredo at its most abstract. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for those who crave herbal dryness, but be warned: some batches might turn dodgy, so buyer beware.
Divisive yet undeniably popular among its target audience. While some dismiss it as a generic Invictus clone with a tacky bottle, many young users find its fresh, sweet, and green character a compliment-getting winner. Don't knock it 'til you've sniffed it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'clean' yet 'medicinal' profile make it generally suitable for close-quarters like the office, appealing to those seeking something unique without being overwhelming. However, its often noted poor longevity means it's less ideal for longer engagements like dates or formal events, and the dry herbal character isn't suited for sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, while its vibrant, youthful energy also works well for sporty activities or dates. However, its playful sweetness might be too much for strictly formal events.
