Scents by the Bay Signatures

Where craftsmanship meets emotion—our Signature Collection is a tribute to the art of scent blended in our Berkeley Flagship.

Our Signature Collection

Discover the heart of Scents by the Bay with our Signature Collection—exclusive fragrances handcrafted in-house by our master blender and team. Each scent is designed to tell a story, inspired by nature, artistry, and emotion. Created in small batches, these perfumes showcase the passion and craftsmanship behind our brand, offering blends that are truly one of a kind.

Some of our Signature Scents are designed by our Owner and Master Blender, Tarah Ornelas, while others are crafted by our talented Scents by the Bay team. Starting August 2025, we’re introducing our Client Favorite Contest—a fun way to get our community involved in the creative process!

Each month features a different fragrance family and three original blends designed by three different team members. Clients can visit the shop all month long to sample and vote for their favorite. At the end of the month, the winning blend is officially launched as our newest Signature Scent, and one lucky client is drawn from the voting pool to win a complimentary 1/4 oz bottle of the released fragrance!
