Byredo De Los Santos EDP

Introduction

Byredo De Los Santos Eau de Parfum is a fragrance steeped in ritual and remembrance — a beautiful, contemplative composition that draws from the traditions of Dia de los Muertos and All Saints' Day. Created in 2022, it explores the liminal space between life and death, past and present, through a composition that is simultaneously celebratory and melancholic. It is a fragrance for those who collect not just beautiful scents but meaningful ones.

Fragrance Journey

Top Notes: Clary sage, mirabelle plum Heart Notes: Marigold, immortelle Base Notes: Incense, amber musk, labdanum

The opening is luminous and herbal: clary sage delivers a clean, slightly medicinal clarity cut with the bright sweetness of mirabelle plum, creating an impression of sunlit freshness tinged with something sacred. The heart blooms with marigold — the flower of remembrance — and immortelle, an everlastingly sweet, honey-like note that adds an almost supernatural warmth to the composition. The base is where De Los Santos becomes most complex: incense rises with a resinous, smoky depth, while amber musk and labdanum lay down a warm, earthy foundation that recalls candlelit altars and ceremonial spaces.

Performance

Longevity is strong at eight to twelve hours, with moderate to good sillage that ebbs and flows as the incense and amber base layers reveal themselves. Best suited to the cooler months of autumn and winter, though its incense and floral character lends it an ethereal quality in any season. An evening fragrance with depth and intent. Suits adventurous fragrance wearers aged 25 and above who are drawn to narrative, spiritual, and unconventional compositions.

Best Occasions

Cultural events, gallery openings, and artistic gatherings. Intimate dinners where the conversation is as likely to turn to philosophy as food. Religious occasions, commemorative events, and celebrations with cultural depth and meaning. Evening occasions where a fragrance should provoke reflection as much as admiration.

Climate & Wear Advice

De Los Santos is best appreciated after dark in warm, humid climates, where cooler evening temperatures allow its incense and amber heart to develop without becoming oppressive. During the hot season, apply two sprays maximum — the incense note amplifies significantly in heat and can feel heavy in strong sun. In air-conditioned environments such as event venues, hotels, and restaurants, the marigold and immortelle heart blooms beautifully and projects with gentle confidence. The dry-season period is ideal: the dry, cooler air allows the full arc from clary sage through to labdanum to unfold with excellent projection. During the rainy season, apply after sunset for the most refined experience.
