My wife and I had a fun time smelling…read more Ministry of Scent was packed, but well-staffed with super nice, unpretentious, and knowledgable people with no hard sell. Each location has a curated hard-to-find collection, but this location is larger than the other branch and it's surrounded by other boutiques. You can get sample vials for $6-10, which you can often get back if you buy the full bottle. We loved Circue de Soleil, which smelled of buttery popcorn, cotton candy, and caramel apples, and Mango Sticky Rice, which smelled of mango, rice, and sticky. We didn't like the Katie Holmes, which smelled of bad acting, smirks and flop sweat. Is there a better experience testing fragrances? Nobody nose!

tl;dr Great selection, agree with other reviewers that customer experience is a hit or miss. On…read moreweekends, they limit samples to 3 per customer as it gets very busy. Pro tip: smell scents you like outside in the fresh air. The inside air smells crazy bc of all the sprays. 1.5ml samples are available at great prices. I've been here a couple times now to smell on my own and get recommendations from the staff. Both times, I was periodically approached by someone asking if I needed any help. I told them the notes I was looking for, and they brought out a mini line up of 6-8 fragrances for me to smell on my own. I appreciate this approach as you feel like you can smell on your own time. On my second visit, a staff member approached me and asked if i needed any assistance. I was ready to purchase some samples and asked her to look for 3. I waited in the corner of the store for several minutes, seeing her look in the sample stock for a bit, but then she came back into the main room without approaching me. I let her do her thing for a few more minutes but it appeared that she was helping other customers by then, so I asked if she had found everything. Only then did she tell me they were out of one of my 3 samples. I eventually replaced the 3rd sample with something else, but I didn't like the customer service during this visit.

Last time I went to a brick and mortar Ulta, I guess it must've been Covid. Without all the…read moretesters, visiting the store was much more tedious than just buying stuff online. What a relief today was. I could actually sample products before purchase. I gotta admit online I was limited to products that I had purchased before. Although Ulta has a generous return policy, which I find reassuring just in case I'm allergic to something, I'm not really comfortable buying completely new products online. Giving the testers a try gives me a chance to figure out if I'm going to have a bad reaction. For me, this makes the physical store significantly more attractive. Customer Service was very cheerful. I was greeted at the door and one of the staff members although busy stopped to ask if I needed help. I just went into browse and had a great time looking for new products. I didn't really buy anything partially because I was in a bit of a hurry to get to my next errand and didn't really have time to try too many testers. Although they had a pretty good looking sale, I managed to get lucky with my favorites at the last sale and I'm still completely stocked up. I was looking for one or two new products but I gotta admit the store is big enough and there are enough different brands that I got a little bit lost. Obviously, I need to come back.

I stopped in to by a Bobby Brown concealer and I bought way more than that…read more Initially, when I walked in, every person that worked there was talking to each other in the front by the cash registers. I was briefly acknowledged with a very very brief welcome. They never stopped taking to interact with me. I was lost as I walked through the store to located the concealer because I never been to this location. There was even a group of girls who were in standing for long periods of time chatting in certain areas. They could have honestly been stealing because literally the women who worked in the store were too immersed in their conversation to walk around to check. There was a cashier who stepped away from talking when I finally came back to the front because I was lost with locating what I needed. There was a beauty expert on the floor and although she was helpful with her suggestions, she missed the mark with nanny if the items that she passed me to purchase. She gave me duplicates of the blush (Although she showed me 2 different ones that she said was perfect for me), she said that a soft black eyebrow pencil was good for me although I'm a brownsjin female with dark brown hair (Which I mentioned to get ally my hair color) and then she suggested 2 different highlights, but gave me 1 that was totally different than what she chose for me. I think she needed to pay more attention to what she was passing me and recommending instead of trying to make a sale. I am still new to makeup buying and I bed those that help me to know what they are doing. Overall, I was able to get quite a haul because of her. However, I need to go and do exchanges on many of the suggested items smh.

What a Dangerous Place for a Scent Lover for myself, but a wonderful concept. I suspect that this…read morewon't be the last Scents by the Bay will see of me. Walked in without an appointment and this place was my version of heaven! So we got to blending almost immediately! I probably sniffed every bottle in the store, It was great. The Staff were the perfect combination of helpful and hands off to let us do our thing. I also love that they let you choose the smell by mixing and combining but actually create the finished product. I ended up walking out wth a great body oil that i use every day! I know I will be back to make another lovely scented item in the near future.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this store!! It's the cutest shop with a wide variety of scents. They…read morehave a focus on non-alcoholic and organic smells, which isn't a priority for me, but it's nice. I absolutely love the gardenia scent and am hoping it holds! The prices here are not too crazy. A lot of these essential oil/soap stores will overcharge, but I thought this place was reasonable. You can get a small bundle of items for $28, a potent diffuser with 15 mL of essential oil for $18, and the soap bars are around $5. They also have a happy hour sale! Very worth it for local, small batch scents, which I usually see going for more. The two women working there today were super welcoming and sweet as well. I will definitely be coming back :)
