Niche line Byredo will introduce De Los Santos, a new unisex fragrance.
De Los Santos is intended a tribute to traditional collective ceremonies, such as Día de los Muertos and All Saints' Day. Notes for the aromatic / herbaceous musk include sage, iris, Mirabelle plum, cistus, ambroxan and musk.
Byredo De Los Santos will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
Update: the full description via Byredo, where De Los Santos is $196 for 50 ml or $276 for 100 ml. Additional notes include palo santo.
A scent created in celebration of life, De Los Santos incants memories and acknowledges the fleeting. An aromatic cloud of musk is pierced by the clarity of sage. The splendor of amber and incense is grounded by iris root and mirabelle.
Earthen notes of cistus flourish in dry heat. In homage to the traditions of Día de los Muertos and All Saints’ Day, De Los Santos captures the transcendent power of coming together in collective ceremonies, translating scent into a new ritual of remembrance.
Sounds interesting! Dia de los Muertos is a popular thing here in SoCal.
It sure is!
Could be. Byredo usually disappoints me.
Wouldn’t associate this ceremony with a musk/ambroxan base to be honest. Ambroxan seems to be the new woody/amber.
I don’t think there is any more ambroxan than there used to be, I think brands just feel more comfortable listing it as a note. That seems to be true of many synthetic molecules…used to be rare to see any synthetic molecule listed by name.
The listed notes together conjure a different image in my mind but lets see. I would sniff this out of curiosity.
