Aesop for the Occult
Smoked sage, varnished wood, eucalyptus mist, dry menthol, green tea. Imagine if Aesop branched into the occult.
My favourite scent of all time to date. Full stop. Instant aromatherapy. No matter the time of year or my mood, I keep coming back to DLS. It's aromatic, green, boreal, vespertine. Airy enough to feel clean, but without treading into soapy spa tincture, and herbal enough to have a bite of earthiness, without feeling mulchy. A sage stick, without the acridity of smoke.
It's a true unisex scent with admirable longevity for a Byredo; I spray it on my travel scarf before long-haul flights and it will last the whole slog through to the return flight. I promise I'm not a shill, but I own two large bottles and several of its candle formulation (Sweet Grass), and live in low-grade anxiety that one day they'll retire it and I'll need to empty my savings to secure a larger stockpile. Since meeting De Los Santos, I compare every scent that's followed to it.

tl;dr: modern witchy teahouse
