De Los Santos

De Los Santos by Byredo

Crafted by perfumer Jerome Epinette, Byredo De Los Santos was inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos). Built around mirabelle, sage, orris, incense, patchouli, and musk, this composition captures the spiritual atmosphere of ritual and remembrance: smoky incense rising in churches, candles burning in cemeteries, the sacred and the personal intertwined.

Our interpretation captures the same iconic spiritual signature as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Ben Gorham named De Los Santos after the Mexican Day of the Dead, the festival where families honor and remember those who have passed. The fragrance captures the sacred atmosphere of the celebration: incense burning in churches, dried herbs at altars, the warm wood of pews and confessionals. Refined yet contemplative.

How It Smells

The opening is immediately distinctive with juicy mirabelle and aromatic sage creating an unusual introduction. There is an instant sense of spiritual contemplation, like stepping into an old Spanish church.

The heart introduces refined orris and smoky incense, building the sacred-aromatic character that distinguishes De Los Santos from typical incense fragrances. The dry-down settles on warm patchouli and refined musks. A base that lingers on skin for hours with sophisticated, slightly smoky, deeply meditative depth.
