Brookfield's Greyscent Boutique Expands With New Handmade Jewelry Line
BROOKFIELD, CT — A popular online boutique that opened a brick-and-mortar business in Brookfield this summer is continuing to grow, with a new line of jewelry readying for launch.
All the new sparklies, as well as all the candles, perfumes, colognes and car diffusers which have been the scent-shop’s mainstays, are handmade by the owner, Riddar Nget.
Greyscent Boutique & Candle Bar, at 7 Station Road, opened in August after spending time as a thriving online-only venture known as Mode de vie. Those mechanics still exist, but everything has been universally branded as Greyscent, after the owner’s 6-year-old son, Greyson.

The boutique sells not just “girly, fruity, flowery scents,” Nget said, but offers a strong selection of masculine fragrances as well. The business owner designs everything she sells, and describes her aesthetic as “very modern, contemporary.”
The boutique’s Candle Bar has proven a popular spot for creative gatherings. Packages include kids’ birthday parties, themed classes, “date nights,” and other get-togethers.

“I have one coming up next week, where she’s getting married the next day, so she’s bringing in her bridesmaids,” Nget said. “You come in and celebrate a special occasion, or you just want to hang out with your friends and your family and make a candle.”
Nget’s said she’s about a week away from the launch of her next line of products, permanent jewelry.
Permanent jewelry does not have a traditional clasp, and so is not easily removed. In fact, the ends are typically soldered together so that the connection is seamless.
“A two-second zap, and then it stays on, like, forever,” Nget explained. “The only way you could take it off is by cutting it off.”
Just about the only places you can find permanent jewelry are in pop-up shops, but Nget thinks the time is right in Brookfield for permanent jewelry to have its brick-and-mortar moment.
“It’s so ‘in’ now, I love it,” Nget said. “It’s also kid-friendly.” The Danbury resident said she has just welded pieces onto the wrists of her son and 2-year-old daughter.
