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.
Amber Wood is a generic category name across the attar market, most closely referencing Ajmal's own Amber Wood; this version keeps the fruity-spicy opening and amber-patchouli base but simplifies the powdery orris heart.

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 amber-and-wood composition suits cooler months, where its cosy character feels appropriate rather than heavy.
Occasions
Understated enough for the office or a casual day, without quite the polish needed for a formal evening.
