Jacob & Sebastian

Jacob and Sebastian is like the older, richer, fabulous cousin of Sephora… and I LOVE Sephora. The store itself is simple– white walls, simple lighting– and the perfume and cosmetics on each shelf are beautifully merchandised.
They have Savon de Marseilles liquids, Malin + Goetz, Mario Badescu Skin Care, ihateperfume, and Muhle Shaving Co. accessories. I just wanted everything. PLUS, they had fantastic music. I heard a Miguel song I have never heard (that I am now addicted to) and another by the band Daughter. Delightful.

Jacob & Sebastian is a high end beauty & fragrance shop in the heart of the Distillery District. In fact it’s right across from Soma Chocolate! Hubby & I were sitting in Soma having a hot chocolate, waiting for the pouring rain to subside when I looked across the way & saw this store. I thought to myself, what’s that? So I had to go inside! There isn’t much décor to speak of, just white walls with shelves & the products themselves add the splashes of colour that a store needs. The lone sales lady was busy with a bunch of 40−50something guys so that left us free to wander around. Found some really heavenly perfumes for ridiculously expensive prices. For skincare, some of the lines they carry are Mario Badescu, Goa, & Tata Harper. But sometimes you get what you pay for if it’s a good brand. Will definitely come back when I have cash to burn.
