| - Watch out -- it is almost impossible to enter this store without buying something, and the goods ain't cheap!!
I found out about Saje, which is originally from BC, when I spotted a few of their diffusers at YYoga, smelling amazing. On my first visit, I was immediately welcomed with a cup of hot tea (and I have been back twice since, and they always offer tea). One of the staff patiently explained a variety of their products and let me sample a few of the most popular ones. I am giving them 5 stars for the consistently excellent customer service (which extends to easy returns/exchanges as well -- if you aren't satisfied with something you buy, just bring it back).
The products that I have tried have been really great. I have an aroma diffuser from MUJI with some scented oils, but MUJI only carries a few varieties (citrus, lavender, and a couple others I think). Saje has a huge variety of scented oils. You can spend a long time in the store just smelling all of them! They also sell a variety of diffusers, which look really pretty. Aside from that, they have an assortment of skin products, bath products, candles, essential oils, etc. It's a great place to shop for gifts -- all the packaging is so nice.
I've never been particularly into aromatherapy, but the staff let me try their peppermint halo roller ball for headaches and it smells amazing and leaves this nice tingling sensation on the back of your neck or hairline or wherever you decide to apply it. Super-relaxing, even if you don't have a headache! Their facial toners come in a spray bottle and are also really refreshing and smell so nice. I use it at home and pretend I'm at a spa:P
Be sure to check out the sale section in the middle of the store. It rotates every month. Also, if you join the email list, they regularly have "bonuses" or promotions (e.g. if you spend a certain amount, you can get a promotional product at a deep discount).
