I used to come here a lot when I worked nearby, finally dropped in after a few years and it feels like coming home. It's a small space but if you need something specific they likely have it. I ran out of Florida water so I came in to grab a fresh bottle plus a tiny palm crystal and smudge stick. The owner is always sweet and when checking out he paused, looked up at me and asked, "do you like rose?" I'm obsessed with rose! Scentelate makes their own rose incense sticks so he packed me 2 to try. I always recommend Scentelate, this place is 5 stars for a reason. read more

I was introduced to this place back in 2017 by a co-worker. Who is now my wife. This shop is quite small, but cozy. Packed with everything from Incense smudges, scents and soaps; to unisex jewelry, rocks & crystals (raw and cut) tarot, greeting and playing cards. The owner, who is so friendly and always with a smile, is always there to answer questions and help out with recommendations. You can usually hear him talking with a soothing cadence, that is relaxing to listen to while browsing. The place is usually busy, with people of all walks of life, but not overly packed. A lot of other stores of this nature, seem to pop up overnight with the intent to make fast money. ScentElate is all about helping people achieve some enrichment to their lives. read more

ScentElate - Storefront - Spiritual Shop Near Me - New York, New York

Worst costumer service ! I've always tried to support small businesses, and on my previous visit I even purchased gift cards, a candle, and perfume. My friend and I returned recently to exchange Christmas gifts and maybe buy something else, thinking it would be a friendly visit. Instead, the experience was shocking and completely unacceptable. We just walked in and The staff worker made unsolicited, rude repeated comments, telling us we shouldn't be there saying we can't smell testers each time we want to buy, creating an atmosphere where we didn't feel welcome at all. This wasn't a one-time thing - the same behavior happened during a prior visit, which I had ignored at the time.but still got the perfume. We came in as paying customers, showing nothing but courtesy, and were treated with hostility. If you want to come in and try testers, DON'T unless you want to be treated badly for no reason. I've never in my life experienced anything like this, anywhere in the world. I will never return or support a business that treats customers this way nor spreads that energy. Absolutely awful customer service . completely unacceptable. read more

Mo, I stumbled in here on a WHIM needing honestly strictly palo santo, rose of jericho, and selenite. I left with more than that not only because of just need, but the energy was really unmatched. We obviously don't know each other personally, but I really will never forget your overall optimism and sheer intuition. You didn't necessarily know I was going through something, yet your simple act of just being kind and patient really made my week. He also gave me a couple of wonderful gifts! Thank you Mo! PS, the incense you make smells WONDERFUL!! Go here!!! read more

The feeling you get in walking into this little mysterious store is wonderful! I'm Addicted to the 'specialty rose' incense they make themselves. They rival the Fred Soll's Brand hands down. I ordered a pack online but it can't wait to get back to lower Manhattan and have at it in there for more of their exotic and rare scents. They do offer crystals, baths, talisman, calendars, etc. for the mystics looking for authentic and rare curios. Cheers! read more

Wandered in by accident a few weeks ago to our absolute delight. Excellent assortment of incense and even fit a free sample of the rose, which is our new favorite. Highly recommend!! read more

i would give more stars if i could. this place is pure magic... the atmosphere is tranquil and is so calming to step into amidst the fast paced energy of the city... the merchandise is quality and often hand picked by the owner and sourced from local artists. the real gem of this store is the staff, Mo in particular. you'll find warm, friendly, intuitive care and can be sure to have a lovely visit and always a reason to return to nyc. read more

My go to shop for crystals, guidance and a fresh start. The owner is so kind, as is his entire staff. My favorite part is blindly picking an intention rock as a gift when you leave! Definitely the best shop around if you're newer to this space! read more

Great selection! Cute little shop with amazing customer service!!! Def recommend stopping by for jewelry, crystals and candles!

When my friend and I walked into the store a few days ago, we were initially really impressed with the selection, but our experienced was soured by the customer service. We were browsing and taking everything in (and there's A LOT in there!) and after 5-10 minutes, the cashier says "Come on, you guys are taking too long." I was never made aware that there was a time limit in this store, and there wasn't anybody waiting outside so we were really confused. So I would only recommend this place if you know what you're looking for. Def don't come to browse unless you're planning on only spending a couple minutes here. I loved the selection but I wouldn't feel comfortable going back after feeling humiliated, sorry. read more

My African-American 14 year old daughter stopped here with a friend on 10/3/2021- armed with her credit card and cash to purchase a necklace and was accused of stealing without any cause. DISGRACEFUL!! Before she left she told them "Just because I'm black doesn't mean I steal." Shame on you!! Think about the psychological trauma you cause these kids before you open your mouth to accuse them. Have some facts first. How Dare You!!! Update - please don't tell me or my child how to feel unless you have walked in our shoes when walking into a store. If you reviewed your "surveillance video" more carefully you would have seen her pick up the stone and then put it down and then reach into her bag for her phone to call me to ask if she could purchase the jewelry. Her friend only responded "she put it back" when you accused them of stealing indicating she put the stone back on the table and she was in fact not trying to steal your merchandise. Then they left. Still - not ok. read more

This is my first review for anything on Yelp, I was so deeply impacted that I felt a need to share my experience. I would give them negative stars if I could. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. The place is tiny, did not bother me, me and a friend were very respectful of their two people inside only policy. While we were inside (hadn't even been more than 5 minutes) two other people started to wait outside. When I asked a question (it shouldn't even matter what question I asked but if you are curious I asked about the wisdom stones) the man was like oh you aren't buying anything, you're taking too long etc etc. who the hell is he to assume I wasn't about to buy anything? There are no pros to report, the place is extremely overpriced, has bad vibes and the one particular man was a disgrace to humanity. Go to rockstar crystals instead!!!!! read more

This is a hidden gem! happy to have found this place in my neighborhood. Small store but has a little of everything, everyone was super nice & friendly, great Energy. Definitely will be coming back to stock up on more items. . read more

What selection, prices are very reasonable, all the owners provide great advice and recommendations I come here very often

If you enjoy the spiritual side of life, this is the place to experience. The owner is magical, as is the other being that tends to the shop. I know their names, but will not spoil the fun :D This shop was recommended to me by this lovely soul who I met during my time on OkCupid. It was love at first visit. For starters, the quality of just about every product is top notch (only say almost as there are items I have yet to touch.) The compassionate vibrations are felt by all those who visit and there is always laughter and positive energy. It's literally a little portal into heaven on earth I have witnessed on multiple occasions sales opportunities being declined so one could experience the oil for the day. It's truly a genuine place that has your best interest at heart. There has to be a reason this little gem continues to operate and thrive Sending the shop and those of your on the inter-webs love and light read more

This store is AMAZING!!!!!! It smells so good and they have so many amazing products!!!

They had alot of variety, but the owner or worker (the person in charge ) seemed very into his discussion with the previous set of customers. The store is small and I had to squeeze up to the front to ask a question about the incense, I thought I wanted to buy. They do have a vast variety from Japanese to Indian incense along with symbols ,books holders, tarot cards and holders you'd never think to look for. I am just a stickler for customer service and found the place overpriced and lacking in the warmth Id like from a spirituality hawking business. I'll pass... Hard. read more

What a little gem in the heart of NYC! read more

Mo is awesome. My fiancé took me here as a surprise and I was beyond elated. My fiancé and I spent a good amount of time in this store.

Mo was great and was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great energy and vibes. Can't wait to go again! read more

Super helpful staff member that talked me through what to get for a proper sage process. He was patient, showed me the many white sage options in the store, and suggested getting either Palo Santo or Frankincense to burn afterwards for good luck. Love this little shop and thankful that I found what I needed (and more!). read more

Have you ever wanted to improve on incense? Seriously. I have never been one to be content with something for too long. Once I understand something, I want to figure out how to improve upon it. Well, let me tell you, Scent Elate is the perfect place for those sort of explorations. Yes, they carry the incense you will see on street stalls on St. Mark's Place. But they also have many more scent pleasing products as well. Take for example, Fred Soll's incense. That incense is all natural, hand made, hand-dipped, and dried in the New Mexico sun. The scent is so much stronger and distinctive, and a single stick will burn for 2 hours! That's amazing. Better yet, you can get 20 sticks here for $11 which is cheaper than what I could find on the internet (Amazon wants $15 for the same quantity). Amazing. They also have Lampe Bergers, reed diffusers, and a lot of New Age friendly stuff to accent the home. The place is tiny, but it is packed with great stuff. Best of the all, the lone man running the shop was so especially helpful and kind. A peaceful place to buy things that will put you at peace. I kind of like that, and I think you might too. read more

One of the coolest stores in Hell's Kitchen that is too easy to miss, Scent Elate will leave you smelling good and feeling high. The store features a variety of incense, candles, and other odor friendly scents keep the rest of 48th street from smelling like piss. The owner claims there are some scents here that can arouse even the most prude and enhance anyone's overall mood. Prices are a little much but probably not easy to find in too many places. This is purely a specialty store that can't hold more than 5 people in house without it becoming super crowded. The service is nice and the products are excellent. My favorite is the cupcake odor candle, which is among its most popular products. read more
