I collect perfume and nicer bath products and I was the most excited to check this place out above all other places I had on my list. Betsy has everything from bath salts, soaps, bubble bath (which I got), lavender satchets, and much more. I've seen some reviews saying that the owner is unfriendly. I wouldn't say she came off particularly super warm but I wouldn't say that she was rude either during my visit. If I return to the Carmel area (likely since it's always been a favorite place with my family), I'd love to come back and try other products. The shop isn't that massive but has products both local and from further away (France). She put a ton of different products on me as samples and let me see what I liked. I went with a French branded bubble bath and a lavender oil. I haven't tried the bubble bath yet but the lavender oil is pretty. Perfect for relaxing right before bed.

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2020…read more Ocean Skin Care Boutique- is a place that had sold bath bombs, soap and skin care. I used to shop there then it changed to Body Frenzy. Most recently Body Frenzy (the sign outside the shop reads Body Frenzy) aka Body Friendly Carmel was closed for a few months due to COVID 19. Today, June 13, 2020 this shop and many others in Carmel by the Sea are open for business but with social distancing rules. I came inside the store and bought a few items- soap and bath bombs. The Co-Owner was in the store and he was friendly and helpful. In other reviews it mentioned the aggressive sales tactics and it's true - I've witnessed this before. I've never succumbed to the aggressive sales tactics. Today there were no aggressive sales tactics just good customer service. I came in with a mission to buy what I needed and that is what happened. I'm not a fan of the receipt as it lacks the prices. If you're looking for soap or bath bombs this is a good spot. It's nextdoor to Cottage of Sweets. Noelle's Notes Great bath bombs and soaps

I visited Ajne several years ago while I was staying in the Bay Area on vacation (~2015). When I…read moreread about Ajne on a perfumer's blog in 2009, I always wanted to make sure if I ever vacationed out west, that I would be sure to visit Ajne. What a beautiful, quaint, fairytale type of location this is. The young woman who worked at the counter back then helped me smell lots of wonderful luxury fragrances. Definitely a peaceful vibe when I walked in the store. Fast forward a few years later, and I'm craving some Lakshmi perfume. I decided to cave in and purchase it, and I couldn't be happier. This is the most exquisite natural perfume I have ever tried. I am so happy with the fragrance and the bottle, and Rex happily answered all of my questions via email. If you're ever in the Bay Area, visit Carmel, and be sure to visit Ajne. You won't be disappointed. They also have a nice online sampling program if you aren't going to be visiting the store.

I was so excited when my package arrived yesterday. I had high hopes and I was not disappointed. The bottles are beautiful, and the scents divine. These aroma blends do not have that underlying "scent" that I dislike. They are all very natural and soothing. I was pleasantly surprised to see a lovely hand written note from Jane and Rex, along with a sample of "Tropical", which I thoroughly enjoy. I am looking for a signature scent for my home, as well as one for my Real estate listings. I am sure I will have success with Ajne, and until then I will try on the aromas from my home, office and car vent diffuser. Thank you so much, and I look forward to more orders and a visit to your physical shop in the future.

Researched this product once we got home and discovered it contains bee venom.

It is not recommended to use products containing bee venom if you know you are allergic. Luckily my mother is not allergic. But bee venom is a serious ingredient and should not be applied without clear consent. I will be reporting this to the full extent. This is predatory and unsafe and should not be allowed to continue in this community.
