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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Eastern Defender EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Xerjoff - Alexandria Orientale. Built around Basil, Rose, Coriander, it offers the character of the original at a budget price - a wallet-friendly alternative for fans of Xerjoff - Alexandria Orientale.

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.

Eastern Defender

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the aromatic signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
