I bought a few candles & some hand lotions (both for me & as gifts!). The high end store has clean lines & testers available.

It's nice to have a skincare, body care & home fragrance store on Chestnut as we lost Pottery Barn, where I previously purchased home fragrances.

I'm absolutely thankful for the staff and their dedication to the beautiful products in store. I can't wait to be back for more.

Ministry of Scent has an incredible selection of niche perfumes. I was overwhelmed with the…read moreoptions. It was really busy when I visited (probably because it was Valentine's Day), so I could tell the workers were feeling a bit overwhelmed. Nevertheless, I had a great time sniffing all the perfumes they had. Because it was so busy, the smell inside the store was pretty overpowering. I had to step outside quite often to sniff the perfumes I was testing. It also ended up giving me a headache. I'm sure they're not used to having so many people in the store at once, but it would be nice if they had a better air filtration system. I was hoping to purchase a few samples so I could test out some of the perfumes I was considering, but was sad to hear that they weren't doing that on the day I visited.

It will fulfill your fragrance cravings for scents that are bourgeois and full of depth. I couldn't help myself given my compulsion to want to smell new scents.. My love of fragrance started way back in high school when I was constantly at either Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret buying up all the body sprays. What made this visit to Diptyque particularly nice was their sales associate Frances. I had the pleasure of meeting Frances as I casually wandered in. Like usual, I'm picking up random lids of their famous candles and inhaling their scents. Frances approaches me and we had the nicest conversation over our mutual love of fragrance. He is one of those people that has a real passion for perfume and takes his time to explain not only the notes each fragrance has but how they can make you feel. When I explained how a specific fragrance (in this case a new one called "Lilyphea") and how it smelled like a warm hug, Frances understood completely. Unlike some other high end stores that can come off as snooty or arrogant, this store is anything but. The sales associates here in my experience have been down to earth, easy to talk to and care to build the most important thing with their clientele-- relationships. This is the kind of thing that will bring me back to a store even if it's not to buy for myself but for a gift. Thank you Frances for making an already perfect day in SF even better. I'm taking my time with my 2 samples and enjoying them during my work day.

I would love to return!

I have to shout out Liz, who has been nothing short of exceptional. She never makes it feel like a sale. Instead, it feels like you're going home with treasure, objects meant to be used, lived with, and loved. She is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and charismatic. She's absolutely got it. Ever since I discovered Topdrawer on Union Street a couple of years ago, it has become one of my favorite day off destinations. Whether I'm returning for a new find or stopping in to pick up a refill, I can always count on a genuine connection with Liz, and that is what keeps me coming back.

The store itself is beautiful, but what really stood out was how lovely the employees were. They were warm, welcoming, and genuinely made me feel celebrated during my visit. I picked up a few candles (pictured) and was surprised with a complimentary birthday candle and matches. They also had an artist in-store painting personalized luggage tags with purchases, which was such a thoughtful touch. I had one done of my cat, and it made the visit even more special. The combination of gorgeous products and outstanding customer service made this one of the most enjoyable shopping experiences I have had in a long time. If you are in San Francisco and love candles, I cannot recommend the Union Square Diptyque enough.

Candles come in a range of sizes, as do the incense (cone and stick). They have a standard set of scents that are always available, as well as seasonal and limited edition ones. There's usually a candle or incense stick burning right outside the main door so you can get a sniff and lured in by the promise of more. Prices are a bit up there, but I think it matches the quality. These aren't cheap candles and incense sticks that are overpowering and strong, and they don't burn fast.
