The Drydown

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

We carry forty-five independent houses, from d’Annam to House of Bō, 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.

For an unhurried version of exactly that, book Private Shopping for 60–90 minutes, one-on-one with Shaya, working through the houses together.
