NEST
NEST New York was founded by Laura Slatkin, a visionary in the luxury home-fragrance world who believed that scent has the power to transform not only a room but a state of mind. What began in the early 2000s as a focused pursuit of beautifully crafted candles evolved into a full fragrance house known for its distinctive, evocative style. From the outset, NEST positioned itself at the intersection of fine perfumery and home ambience, offering fragrances designed to elevate the everyday.
At the heart of NEST is a commitment to craftsmanship. The brand collaborates exclusively with senior and master perfumers from the world’s leading fragrance houses, ensuring each scent carries depth, clarity and artistic intent. Their candles are composed from premium wax blends used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, chosen for a clean, even burn that releases scent with remarkable consistency. Paired with lead-free cotton wicks and thoughtful safety features, every detail is engineered for a luxurious, reliable experience.
This dedication to quality extends across their wider offering. While NEST built its reputation on home fragrance, the brand has since expanded into fine fragrances and personal care. Each fragrance is designed with a distinct personality in mind – spirited, serene, sensual, or exotic – reflecting the brand’s core of fragrance as a form of self-expression. Their collections span lively citrus, transportive florals, rich woods and warm spices, making the range accessible to both newcomers and seasoned fragrance enthusiasts.
NEST’s design ethos is equally intentional. Their signature black packaging with botanical illustrations, painted by acclaimed artists, creates an instantly recognisable visual identity. This artistic foundation mirrors the complexity of the fragrances themselves, each one crafted to tell a story or evoke a moment. For many loyal customers, NEST scents become deeply intertwined with memory and ritual: the candle lit each morning, the diffuser that defines a room, the perfume that accompanies a milestone.
Today, NEST is widely regarded as a leader in the luxury home-fragrance category and continues to grow in the realm of fine fragrance. Its popularity stems from the sophistication of its scents and the experiences the create, a blend of beauty, pleasure and connection.
