🍂✨ HARVEST MASSAGE OIL CANDLE CLASS ✨🍂

A little bit of fall, a little bit of self-care, and a whole lot of creativity. 🤎

Today our guests created their own custom massage oil candles—from choosing their scent to pouring each candle by hand. 🕯️✨

Once melted, these candles transform into a warm, nourishing massage oil… making them the perfect cozy treat for yourself or someone you love. 💆‍♀️🤎

Thank you to everyone who joined us today! We loved watching your creations come to life. 🍂

Want to join us for the next one? Keep an eye on our upcoming classes! 👀✨

✨ MEET DEANNA ✨

If you’ve visited us lately, chances are you’ve met Deanna! Since joining the Scents by the Bay family in 2026, she’s quickly grown from Scent Stylist into a Supervisor, working across both Scents by the Bay and eSCENTial Beauty. 💜

With a background in the veterinary world, Deanna brings patience, warmth, and amazing customer service to everything she does—and yes, her favorite shifts might be the ones when the Shop Dogs are around. 🐾

She’s also part of our Teaching Team, leading perfume blending experiences in both stores and joining us for private and offsite events throughout the Bay Area.

Next time you see Deanna, be sure to say hi—and if you haven’t blended with her yet, it might be time! ✨

✨ Love a scent you can’t find anymore? We can help recreate it. ✨

Our Scent Matching Service is designed to recreate a fragrance you already know and love.

Bring us your favorite perfume, a nearly empty bottle, a scent that’s been discontinued, or even a fragrance you simply want to experience again—and our Master Blender will work with you to create a custom scent inspired by the original.

Because sometimes, your favorite scent is worth bringing back. 🤍

✨ Meet Tehya! ✨

Tehya first became part of the SBTB family through softball — she and Ella played on the same team, and she became such a part of our family that you may even hear her call Tarah “Mom!” 🥰

In early 2024, Tehya officially joined our team as a Scent Stylist. Her sweet personality, natural way with people, and drive to learn quickly made her such a valuable part of the team.

Tehya is currently away at college 🎓, but she’s still very much part of the SBTB crew! When she’s home, she pops in and picks up shifts — and you can definitely expect to see her back behind the blending bar during holidays and summer breaks.

So if you see Tehya on the schedule, snag a blending appointment with her while you can! 💜

College may have taken her away from us for a bit, but she’ll always have a spot behind our blending bar — and in the SBTB family. ✨
