House of BŌ AGUA DE SANTOS is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. AGUA DE SANTOS opens with Lime, Lavender, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Kumquat, Neroli, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Angelica, Cedar, and Vetiver. House of BŌ's AGUA DE SANTOS carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one is divisive: a radiant, nostalgic citrus-aromatic for some, an overpriced synthetic mess for others. Its unique character shines, but you'll either love it or find it incredibly generic.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's suitable for most casual settings and could work for a relaxed office environment. Its fresh, clean profile makes it a good daytime choice, especially in warmer weather, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

About

Agua de Santos opens with a sharp, invigorating splash of lime, softened by aromatic lavender and a surprising aldehydic sparkle. As it settles, the bright, almost fizzy kumquat and clean neroli take centre stage, underpinned by a herbaceous hint of thyme. The dry down is a comforting, clean blend of earthy vetiver and warm cedar, with a subtle angelic touch that lingers on the skin.
