With its always perfect weather and laid-back local lifestyle, the store that inspired this candle is a board-sports heaven, loaded with well loved surfboards, fresh wax and the island-influenced vibe that permeates surf culture. The Surf Shop of San Diego is less a faithful olfactive recreation of the shop and more of an abstract homage, with sweet, rich monoi and heady tuberose evoking the yin and yang of excitement and relaxation at the heart of the true surfer lifestyle.
