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.
This is a seriously polarising scent, pure Jean-Claude Ellena. Expect an icy, bitter, earth-drenched fragrance that some will adore for its unique artistry, while others will find it reminds them of cold vegetables or old laundrettes. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

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 intimate sillage and low-average longevity make it suitable for office wear where it won't offend, though many find it disappears too quickly. Its unique, earthy profile is perfect for casual settings, particularly in warmer weather, but less suited for formal events or highly energetic activity.
