The search for a signature scent is a long and hard one, requiring a lot of trial and error. But what most people don’t consider is that a signature scent can also be a home scent, the smell that makes your friends say “Hey, I know exactly where I am.” Home fragrances and candles can bring an abode together seamlessly, and honestly, we all deserve a scent-filled home.
You’ve probably seen Nest Fragrances before, on bathroom counters or diffusing a space. The brand begins with the goal of creating works of art in every bottle—from the fragrance to the vessel that houses it to the design that adorns it. “Every candle, every reed diffuser, every liquid soap not only surrounds you with its exquisite scent but also serves as a chic accent that complements any décor,” founder Laura Slatkin says of her unique, game-changing approach to fragrance.

“In 2005, I was sensing there was a void in the marketplace.

Nest’s ultimate goal is to create fragrances and products that are truly exceptional and extraordinary. “We pride ourselves on creating fragrances that create unique moods and offer our clients sensorial experiences, be it in their home or on their body,” says Slatkin.
