The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by City Rhythm, San Diego is a fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake city. Created by Niles Ramadhin, it opens with blood orange and juniper berries, combining citrus brightness with fresh spiciness. The heart notes of lavender, heliotrope, violet leaf, almond, iris, nutmeg, and Moroccan jasmine create an intricate floral-spicy bouquet that is both warm and inviting. The base notes of sea salt, vanilla, ambergris, and sea notes evoke the salty air and tranquil waters of San Diego's coast. This fragrance embodies the city’s vibrant energy and natural beauty.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The blood orange and juniper berries in the top notes are bright but fleeting, so let it settle for about five minutes before heading out. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room.
