There's Fourth Street in Berkeley, which has a Le Labo, a Sephora, a Jo Malone, and an Aesop within about two blocks. There are a bunch of cute clothing shops and I haven't been in all of them but at least one has some perfume (Ali Golden with a small collection with Escentric Molecules, DS & Durga, and a couple other brands I'm forgetting).
Oh! Also the Stanford Shopping Center in South Bay -- it's a giant mall with a Neiman Marcus, a Macy's, a Bloomingdale's, an Aesop, a Lush, and a Sephora. The department stores have you covered on a pretty giant range of designer frags like Byredo, Dyptique, Jo Malone, MFK, etc.
Oh I’m so glad to hear that!! Tell me how it goes. If you don’t have a ton of time I’d start with Ministry of Scent and ZGO because they have the biggest range and some great niche / indie brands.
My plan is ministry of scent, byredo & rag & bone (because I’m fascinated by the resurgence of clothing line scents). Although that 3 for $100 dyptique deal I didn’t know about has me very tempted…I will report back!
You are incredibly thorough!
❤️ I have spent way too much money and time on this topic 😂

Thanks for sharing!
Filmore is scent central in SF!
It truly is. It’s nice to have it concentrated in one spot!
Thanks for the kind mentions, Christina! You know we always love it when you visit. ❤️
💖 love you guys!
Back atcha! 🥰
Timely post bc I just went to Diptyque for soap but left with a lot more. They always give extra goodies, like Neiman ;)
Obviously a decant coming your way
💖💖💖
What else did you get?!!
Haha despite having sent you a photo I want to complete the thought: Lilyphéa!
Jealous. Need that one.
This is perfectly timed. I’m coming to SF next weekend and was just wondering if you had a list like this. Map marked, can’t wait!

Great resource!
I live in the Bay and will definitely use this as a guide! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
