Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - De Los Santos EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

De Los Santos

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

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.

Metallic Acqua

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its balanced, clean, and warm profile makes it versatile for most settings, leaning slightly more towards casual and date wear due to its appealing amber and woody accords. While not overly formal, it's understated enough for a refined casual event. It's too soft and warm for active sports.
