The Drydown

The Drydown is San Diego's first and only niche fragrance boutique, tucked into Grand Avenue in Carlsbad.

We carry over forty-five independent houses, from Imaginary Authors to Ormonde Jayne, each chosen because they make something that deserves to be smelled in person.

Founded by Shaya, The Drydown exists because niche fragrance shouldn't require a plane ticket. Every bottle in the shop tells a story, and we're here to help you find yours.
