Byredo
De Los Santos EDP
“Marigold smoke, candlelight, and memory.”
The take
What works
- ●Marigold-copal-incense is genuinely evocative of Día de los Muertos altars
- ●Distinctive and conversation-starting — nothing else smells like this
- ●Oud base anchors the smoky florals beautifully
Trade-offs
- ●Polarizing — incense and copal won't suit everyone
- ●Heavy and autumnal — strictly cool-weather
