Brilliant balancing act
This smells like a green tea i used to drink. Bitter herbs, fresh flowers with a fruity sweetness when i first sniffed it. After, i get an ambery resinous smell that, with the fruit, just makes this warmer, like a dried apricot, but the musk i only get towards the end, a very clean one, well mixed and blended with the orris root. In fact that is what i get from this: well blended and also dynamic. All the ingredients seem to work together in an effortless way but they also change and morph.

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.

Mental Snapshot: You're a herbology professor in haute couture. You frequent places like old Catholic churches, which have been converted into a steam saunas, or teahouses in a modern art galleries. You can guess strangers' star signs to 89% accuracy.

tl;dr: modern witchy teahouse

Sweet and synthetic ambroxan
Another simplistic fragrance from byredo.

Starts with sweet floral notes, there is a delicious fruity accord. Quickly settles to a rosy-ambroxan smell. From top to middle notes, the sweetness is very well preserved. As the smell matures, you get plenty of clean ambroxan with soft musks. I could never detect any palo santo which was a note i was waiting to get. After that opening, i expected a much richer fragrance.

Well, i think the top notes are pretty good. De los Santos gives a great fruity note at the start. After that you get a rosy ambroxan and musky ambroxan. If you don’t mind synthetic base notes of clean quality, you may like this. Nothing really special here.

Magical Development
At first sniff, my nose recoiled a bit, too "minty," "herbaceous," almost "healthy." But then, an almost magical development. The scent melts away, becoming soft and sensual, like a second skin. It is full of contradictions, pure and clear yet warm and sensual, cheeky and velvety at the same time. It reflects the crisp coziness of winter just as much as the warm breeze on a bare summer arm. Intangible yet always present. I don’t want to be without it anymore.

Aromatic and Unconventional
I have to defend "De Los Santos" now. Yes, the fragrance is not straightforward and will not appeal to everyone. It starts strong with aromatic sage followed by cistus and orris root. For me, there is also incense in it, even though it is not listed. I only catch a brief whiff of mirabelle at the beginning. The heart of this fragrance is aromatic and somehow exotic in the sense of being unusual and fascinating. The Ambroxan makes the scent slightly sweet in the drydown.

The longevity is superb for a Byredo. After 8 hours, it is still quite noticeable, and even the sage from the top note is still recognizable (apparently not a pure top note). The sillage is strong for 2-3 hours and then slowly becomes a bit more intimate.

What I appreciate about DLS is that it really smells extraordinary. It piques curiosity. One wonders who might smell like this. At the same time, it is very calming and aromatic, so for my nose, it stands out but is not unpleasant. If I’m already spending a lot of money on niche fragrances, I want to wear something that not every designer has already offered in a similar way for a quarter of the price.

So my conclusion: De Los Santos is a very successful, special creation without the typical Byredo H/S weaknesses. It certainly doesn’t suit everyone, but that’s exactly what makes it so good. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. ;-)

Spicy clary sage with dry hay vibes. It´s similar to Sunshine Man from Amouage done by Epinette. In dry down becomes a really nice surprise.

I get a kind of savoury or balsamic note in the foreground with a depth of smoke. Very calming and pleasant smell.

Lively woody-fruity open, smells of fig & sandalwood (style of Noir 29). Goes woodier, ends aromatic-smoky (gaiac & black tea, again - N29).
