Ok, this one is second best in the City Rhytm tropicals category. It's actually the only one of their fragrances named after destination that feels like a proper journey. And it's definitely a quite memorable one at that.

It starts at breakfast on the beach. Fresh, salty morning air and hint of citrusy orange juice on the lips. It feels like freedom, new beginnings are here, now. Dazed with joy, you accidentally walk into a wedding, ruining the perfect shot. Bride and bridesmaids attack you, hitting you with their bouquets. Flowers all around, but a tad too much, you try to take a refuge in a local bakery and end up spending there the rest of your day. That's the sort of experience San Diego delivers.

It's long-lasting, with a moderate-to-strong sillage scent, that shifts aspects quite a lot during the day. It's something that would perfectly suit an adventurous person, it's almost like multiple perfumes in one. Definitely worth trying if notes look remotely appealing.

    Great review! I want to smell it. I have their St. John USVI mostly bc I adore the island but I haven’t really vibed with the fragrance yet.

      Thank you! It's fun, and a lot is going on there, but like a lot of City Rhytm fragrances, it wasn't for me. I never even was in the US. I don't know why I bought a handful of US-themed samples, so I had to compare them to something else other than the places they're named after 😀
