Hi! I’m Tarah, founder of Scents by the Bay, and my journey with scent began from a deep love of creativity, self-expression, and holistic wellness. Myself, and my amazing team LOVES teaching these private appointments and classes and we can’t wait to meet you!
A bit about my company: I started my business as a way to blend my passion for aromatherapy, sustainable living, and handcrafted products into something that could make people feel connected, empowered, and cared for—whether they’re lighting a candle, blending a custom perfume, or gifting something meaningful.
The pivotal moment that really sparked my interest was when I began learning about how scent is tied to memory, emotion, and healing. That led me down a rabbit hole of essential oils, natural perfumery, and candle crafting. I began formulating my own clean, skin-safe blends in small batches—and soon people were asking for more! From there, Scents by the Bay grew from a kitchen project into a full retail space and workshop hub in Berkeley, California.
I absolutely love teaching because I get to watch people of all ages light up as they learn something new—whether it's a child making their very first perfume or a group of professionals discovering how scent can connect them in surprising ways. My amazing team and I have led hundreds of classes and corporate events - making scent education both approachable and fun. We’ve hosted everything from birthday parties and date nights to custom team-building workshops for well-known Bay Area companies.
Something people might not know is that our candles double as massage oil, made from a proprietary blend of organic shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, and soy wax. They’re one of our bestsellers and just one of the many ways we create with care and intention. Our products are crafted using organic and sustainable ingredients, and we’re proud to be woman-owned and rooted in community.
If you’re looking for a creative, feel-good experience that engages your senses and leaves you with something beautiful and personal, we’d love to welcome you to Scents by the Bay!
NEW - I have opened a Beauty Collective in El Sobrante, CA that has a smaller blending bar (with the perfect amount of oils for custom blending classes) for a more intimate setting for blending sessions. Check our schedule to book there!
