142. [STÉLE CO-FOUNDERS] You Don't Need to Be a Fraghead to Enjoy the Deep Cuts!

A PERFECT new niche perfume store has just opened in Williamsburg. It's called Stéle, and today, I'm joined by its Co-Founders Jake Levy and Matt Belanger. Despite the fact that this store has some of the most obscure and deeply niche fragrances I've come across, neither Matt nor Jake come from fragrance backgrounds! Hear how and why they created Stéle and all the great perfumes they've discovered (and stocked) along the way. Watch the full length video of this episode on Substack.
