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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Stephane Humbart Lucas 777 Mortal Skin - a woody fragrance led by Labdanum, Incense, Blackberry, with amber depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

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
The woody character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its woody, amber signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
