De Los Santos

De Los Santos joined the Byredo catalog in 2022, presented in eau de parfum concentration. Ben Gorham is credited as the perfumer of the composition, offered in two sizes of 50 ml and 100 ml.

Herbaceous opening

In the opening, sage brings a fresh grassy note with earthy accents. This aromatic plant, whose crushed leaves release a green and slightly camphorous odor, gives the entry of the composition a dry, vegetal character.

Fruit, powder and resin

The heart tier brings together mirabelle plum, musk, cistus, iris and clary sage. Mirabelle plum brings a sweet, fresh and warm fruit, while musk lays down a woody warmth with an animalic nuance. Cistus, an amber and woody resin, sits alongside powdery, buttery iris with hints of violet, and clary sage brings its herbaceous, earthy greenness.

Holy wood

Palo santo forms the base: a resinous wood with a soft smokiness, lifted by a citrus facet. This South American tree, whose Spanish name means holy wood, is traditionally burned in shavings for its aromatic odor.

An aromatic family

The aromatic classification of the composition rests on the sage of the top and the clary sage of the heart. Aromatic accords are built around herbaceous plants with fragrant leaves; here, the fruity facets of mirabelle plum, the powdery facets of iris and the resinous facets of cistus and palo santo surround them.
