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.

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Boadicea The Victorious Complex. Built around Basil, Olibanum, Resin, it offers the character of the original at a budget price - a wallet-friendly alternative for fans of Boadicea The Victorious Complex.

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.

Difficult

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the aromatic, smoky profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the aromatic accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
