Alexandria Fragrances is an indie house known for creating niche-leaning compositions that balance accessibility with complexity. Redondo Beach #05, released in 2018, is part of their numbered collection that draws inspiration from California locations and coastal aesthetics.

The fragrance opens with a distinctive marine-aromatic blend built on seaweed and driftwood, with cardamom and oud adding unexpected spice and woody depth. The heart shifts toward brighter territory with lemon and mandarin, tempered by herbal notes of lavender and artemisia that keep things grounded. The base settles into a warm, slightly resinous finish with vetiver, oak, and incense providing structure, while vanilla and mastic add subtle sweetness. Overall, this reads as a thoughtful aquatic that leans woody and aromatic rather than fresh or ozonic.

Redondo Beach #05 suits those who appreciate oceanic fragrances with substantive dry-down and herbal complexity. It works year-round but feels particularly fitting for spring and summer when its marine character can breathe. This is a fragrance for someone seeking something beyond typical designer aquatics. It shares DNA with The Homesteader, The Sensualist, and The Tactician.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Seaweed
Seaweed
Oceanic, slightly salty, and faintly iodine-like, seaweed adds a genuine marine quality that differs from the abstract ozonic 'freshness' of most aquatic notes. It smells of rockpools and tidal pools: organic, alive, and slightly primal. Used to add authenticity to aquatic compositions that want real sea air rather than a metaphor.
Driftwood
Driftwood
Dry, slightly salty, and weathered, driftwood captures the scent of bleached, sun-warmed wood washed up on a beach. It's less polished than cedarwood and more raw than sandalwood, with a marine, outdoor quality. A favourite in aquatic and casual summery compositions.
Cardamom
Cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
Agarwood (Oud)

Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Juniper
Juniper
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Artemisia
Artemisia
The wormwood family, artemisia adds a dry, herbal, slightly bitter greenness that evokes wild Mediterranean hillsides and ancient apothecaries. It's the botanical that gives absinthe its distinctive aura. In perfumery it grounds compositions in something honest and slightly difficult, which makes them feel more real.
Myrtle
Myrtle
A Mediterranean evergreen shrub whose leaves and berries produce a fresh, herbal, slightly camphorous, and faintly floral essential oil. Myrtle has been sacred in Mediterranean cultures since antiquity, associated with Venus and used in traditional herbal medicine. In perfumery it adds a Mediterranean herbal freshness with a slightly resinous depth.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
Olibanum
Olibanum
Oak
Oak
Deep, dry, and slightly tannic, oak adds the scent of aged wood and wine barrels to compositions, a complex earthy warmth. Oakwood in perfumery has a slightly bitter, smoky quality that lends weight and gravity. Different from oakmoss (which is a lichen), oak itself suggests cellars, antique furniture, and aged spirits.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Incense
Incense
The dry, smoky, slightly woody scent of burning resin, incense in perfumery usually means frankincense or similar resins, adding a contemplative, almost spiritual quality. It creates distance and mystery, making fragrances feel larger than they are. A hallmark of niche, serious perfumery.
