The first thing you smell is sage and mirabelle. The heart brings orris root and cistus incanus. On the skin it settles into incense and musk. Overall it smells musky and amber.

A closer look at Byredo De Los Santos EDP
Byredo is the house behind De Los Santos EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Victoria's Secret Bombshell Seduction is a lighter match.
De Los Santos price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €115. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Serge Lutens L'Orpheline but less than Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Amberwood.
Other Byredo perfumes
The house has 45 perfumes here, led by Parfums Black Saffron, Parfums Mojave Ghost and Parfums Rose Hand Wash.
Is De Los Santos your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is musky (100%), followed by amber and aromatic. You will probably like it if you enjoy musky and amber smells and notes like orris root and incense. Less obvious notes include ambroxan. Perfume fans rate it 3.87 out of 5.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Amberwood and Serge Lutens L'Orpheline last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like incense and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance.
