California Destinations Inspired by Soft Focus
Our newest line of aromatic scents was inspired by hazy memories of halcyon days spent at some of our favorite California destinations. Here’s a snapshot of some fun locations that will have you dreaming of California and inspire you to explore each location, that is, if you haven’t already. Want to add some California cool to your space?
Located on the Orange Coast and surrounded by lush, green hills dotted with wild flowers during spring. Known for its historical ruins, a distinctive bell wall, and beautifully landscaped grounds, the Mission San Juan Capistrano is no doubt this town’s biggest attraction. Book a guided tour to learn more about its history or visit during one of the many special events held here.
We also love exploring the Los Rios Historic District, the oldest neighborhood in California. There are 40 homes remaining here, including three adobe structures. While the mission was in operation, this was home to many of the builders and ranchers. Most of the homes are now private residences, but a few have been converted into shops and restaurants. You can also book a tour through the San Juan Capistrano Historical Society, offered once a week.
Don’t forget to check out South Coast Farms for a fresh haul of locally grown produce. For a more immersive experience pick your own seasonal fruit, and summertime calls for fresh strawberries!
A sleepy roadside town that resembles a 1950s western movie set, Los Alamos hosts plenty of top-notch restaurants, wine and beer shops, and shopping in a mere 7 block main street. Founded in 1876, Los Alamos was long an important transportation hub, first as a stagecoach stop and later as a station along the Pacific Coast Railway. In fact, it’s home to the last standing Pacific Coast Railroad station. Check into the Skyview Los Alamos and lounge by the pool. Grab breakfast or lunch at Bob’s Well Bread, one of the best bakeries we’ve tried. Enjoy some of the region’s best wines at the handful of restaurants that line Bell St. like Bell’s or The Maker’s Son. Whatever you choose, you truly can’t go wrong.

Savor a well-rounded wine tasting at Solterra Winery and hang out in their airy patio.
