Chemistry Bath and Body is the ingenious idea of three local professionals (and gym buddies): Garrett Goo, Todd Taba, and Howard Tang. As frequent travelers to the mainland, they realized that Bath & Body Works products were the most requested gifts by their friends and family. Chemistry allows patrons to customize their bath and body products by allowing them to choose their own colors and scents. The store’s fragrance bar is made up of an impressive 400 different scents—including such popular local favorites as Gardenia, Pikake, and the store’s own custom fragrance, Chemistry “Blue”—which can be mixed and matched according to your preference. You even get to name your product after it’s blended! The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the store even offers after-hours private party options for people who would like to have a truly unique celebration. Soon, West Oahu residents will have a Chemistry Bath and Body in their neck of the woods, with a second location opening at Pearlridge Shopping Center in late November.
