If a picture is worth a thousand words, Jacqueline Steele's narrative scents are comparable to the most vivid vignettes. She is a purveyor of stories, moments in place and time that are preserved through her fragrance house, Goest. For instance, Dauphine is a scent inspired by Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette not in that it’s reminiscent of the ill-fated queen herself but because of the layered notes that encapsulate a scene from Coppola's film: rose-water pastries with cream, powder and soap on skin, an abundance of fully bloomed roses.
We’re thrilled to now offer four scents from the Goest library, both in the tiny beauty corner of our Bedford shop and online. Available in classic square cut mini flacons, they can be tossed into a clutch as a travel go-to, or tied to a handwritten note as a teensy and perfect present.
Catbird caught up with Jacqueline recently to hear more on running a one-woman fragrance house, how she found her start, and the most memorable custom fragrance she’s created.
We feel pretty lucky to have a flock of pretty incredibly amazing birds, one the them being Steph G who you will often find trotting around the shop in a high pony accompanied with some hot shorts and the biggest, sincerest smile! But when she's not helping our customers build their dream stacks she is one of the mega babes known as Desert Sharks!
We've got pretty exciting news about these ladies, they just released their new EP, Sister Cousins, which you can listen to and download here. They are also currently pressing it on vinyl (could they get any cooler?), slated for this upcoming March! AND they're playing a release show this Thursday, January 10, at Shea Stadium.
