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.
A divisive scent attempting to marry a classic fougere with the ubiquitous 'blue' fragrance DNA. Some find it generic, others praise its added character, but the consensus is that the dry down leans heavily into familiar territory.

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
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it versatile for daily wear, including the office or casual outings. However, its perceived 'blue' DNA might make it feel less special for formal events, and its subtle spicy warmth isn't ideal for vigorous sport.
