Byredo Parfums - De Los Santos

With De los Santos, Byredo creates a fragrance that pays homage to Día de los Muertos, the power of memory and the experience of communal strength. Death is considered another natural step in the continuum of life in South American culture, so on the day of the colourful Día de los Muertos celebration, tradition holds that the souls of the deceased can visit their living relatives. Flower decorations and culinary delicacies are offered as gifts to the dead family members. To welcome them back as full members of the family, the living hold dances, celebrations and parades in their honour, dressed in colourful clothes and elaborate make-up. De los Santos picks up on this deeply rooted vibrant and colourful custom as a celebration of life and dedicates an artfully crafted olfactory interpretation to it with De los Santos.

The fragrance:
Día de los Muertos unites faith, tradition and community. In the composition of Byredos De los Santos, these foundations of the colourful celebration find their counterpart in an aromatic melange of seductive nuances. Velvety green sage, golden yellow mirabelle and pink cistus form a colourful yet festive impression. The elegant sounds of powdery iris root gently wrap around this fascinating kaleidoscope, while a graceful base of ethereal incense notes alongside the seductive sounds of ambroxan and musk fully underscore De los Santos fragrance character. Dressed in the classic bottle of the house of Byredo, de los Santos impressively tells its own profound story.
