If you have ever walked into a beautifully scented room and immediately wanted to know what candle was burning, there is a good chance the answer was NEST New York. We are beyond thrilled to welcome the brand to FFF for the first time this fall, and we could not wait to tell you why this partnership has us buzzing.

The Woman Behind the Scent

NEST New York was founded in 2008 by Laura Slatkin, a true pioneer in the luxury fragrance world. Long before NEST existed, Slatkin and her husband Harry left their Wall Street careers behind in the early 1990s to launch Slatkin & Co, one of the very first luxury home fragrance brands in the United States. She went on to develop bespoke scents for more than 100 major names, from Christian Dior to Ralph Lauren, before deciding it was time to build something entirely her own.

That vision became NEST. Slatkin’s mission was simple but ambitious: create a lifestyle fragrance brand that could scent your entire world, from candles and diffusers to fine fragrance and body care, without ever compromising on quality, creativity, or authenticity.

An Icon Grows Up

What started as a candle line has grown into a full sensory universe. NEST’s home fragrance collection is known for its distinctive glass packaging and one of the highest concentrations of aromatic oils in the industry, which is part of why a NEST candle can fill a room in a way that feels genuinely transportive. The brand expanded into fine fragrance in 2013 and has continued building out its perfume and body care offerings ever since, earning a place on shelves at Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Saks, Nordstrom, and Sephora.

Slatkin herself has described the goal behind every launch as wanting a scent to move you, the same way her signature Bamboo fragrance moved her the first time she smelled it. That philosophy of chasing an emotional reaction, not just a pleasant smell, is what has made NEST feel less like a fragrance brand and more like a mood in a bottle.

Why NEST, Why Now

Fragrance has quietly become one of the most requested categories from our community, and NEST is exactly the kind of brand our members have been asking for: elevated, recognizable, and genuinely covetable. 

It is also a full-circle moment for the assortment. NEST spans home, body, and fine fragrance, so there is so much for our community to discover this season. Think signature home fragrances to fill your space, perfumes in sizes from purse-friendly to full bottle, perfume oils for a more intimate scent experience, hand wash that turns an everyday routine into a small luxury, and fragrance mist for a lighter, layer-anywhere finish. Whatever your fragrance mood, there is a NEST format for it

What to Expect

Look for NEST to bring the same sensory storytelling to our Fall assortment that has made the brand a favorite among fragrance lovers for over fifteen years. Expect thoughtfully developed scents, gorgeous packaging that looks as good on a shelf as it smells, and the kind of quality that has made NEST a mainstay in prestige beauty.

We cannot wait for you to experience it! Get ready to fall in love with your new signature scent.
