NEST New York earns strong reviews for impactful home fragrance and polished perfume oils, with candles and reed diffusers praised for room-filling throw, even burn, and sophisticated scents like Bamboo, Grapefruit, and Madagascar Vanilla. Reviews also flag weaknesses—some perfumes and oils lack staying power, certain scents skew overwhelming in small spaces, packaging divides opinion, and paraffin wax may deter natural-wax purists—making it compelling for scent lovers who prioritize diffusion and ambiance but selective for sensitive noses.

I was hesitant to buy from Nest New York because of the price point, but I eventually got a small Vanilla Bourbon perfume from them. It is absolutely worth the hype. The scent is incredible, lasts for a long time, and is the perfect vanilla perfume.

First note that hits your senses is the sweet cream, which offers a richness and decadence that satisfies the sweet tooth. Coming through next is the fresh citrus, that balances the sweetness while brightening the experience. The combination reminds me of one of my favorite childhood treats - the orange creamsicle! I love the scent and I like that it can be used for any occasion. The mini is a good size to carry around, so you can freshen your senses throughout the day.

really high quality and really good fragrance. I think it's a little overpriced for what it is, but still really good quality. pretty easy to apply and it seems to last all day. I think it also projects pretty well.

Oh my goodness these are the best candles and they last forever. The scents are incredible and they have a plethora of sizes that fit any environment or room or space. Love the luxurious look of them too.

Great sent. Received as a gift from a colleague and scent is pretty strong and can fill the room easily. Feel very luxurious and heavy - I would say to keep in a larger room so the scent doesn’t get overwhelming

Anything Nest smells amazing. I love their products especially the perfumes. I own several of their lotions and they’re in small easy to go travel bottles. Their scents are long lasting and the lotion left me so soft.

Nest New York Madagascar Vanilla smells great and certainly low-clsss thieves will steal it from your bathroom if you don’t lock your things up. But, little staying power and I don’t know that would recommend because it’s not strong enough. Good layering oil.

Got the chance to visit the pop-up in NYC and got gifted a mini grapefruit scented candle. The smell was very refreshing and potent without being overpowering.

Every single product I’ve purchased from Nest exceeds my expectations. My favorite thus far are the perfume oils, I have in Madagascar Vanilla & Turkish Rose. They blend well & with my other lotions & perfumes to make my own scent cocktail. The candles aroma fills a room quickly & I love how evenly the candle burns. Plus, they last a long time for me as I burn them maybe 1-2 hours a day. The diffusers work well, I keep them in my bathroom area & I smell it everytime I walk in my bathroom.


My most favorite Nest product ever. The Bamboo Reed Diffuser. Notes - Green notes, lush jasmine, hyacinth, and white lotus. The smell is so premium. The projection though is not as loud as I would prefer. Could be this particular scent or maybe it’s simply how the product was designed. I’m not sure but the overall experience has guaranteed that I will continue to purchase.

This will forever be my favorite home/wellness brand! I’m currently obsessed with the Madagascar Vanilla collection, but I truly haven’t found a scent I don’t like. Customer service is also 10/10!

I have had several of their candles. I love their scents and price point is great! It also is a great gift!
My 2 fav scents are the grapefruit and the wellness scent, and my mom constantly has them burning in her house. Best candles ever
I love nest! I was so excited when sephora had a sample of nest for me to try out. I loved the roller on nest lilac one.

Have only tested their home products, but the bamboo scent is amazing. My friend had the diffuser in her room and I immediately had to ask what the scent was and immediately purchased a candle. Definitely expensive, but good quality products.
The grapefruit one smells amazing but they use paraffin wax if that bothers you (unlike similar brands that use coconut or soy which are more natural.) I also got a mini perfume set as a gift and found the scents to be way to floral/ mature for me. They lacked a bit of depth that I prefer in my perfumes.
Honestly, Nest Candles need a serious update. The packaging looks cheap and seems like it’s trying too hard. The scents are off and don’t live up to the hype. While I know people stand by the brand, it’s time to get into 2024 and refresh the design and fragrances. Nest, I know you have what it takes to innovate—please step it up!
I got a candle as a sample from Sephora and its actually soooo nice. I don't love the packaging but I really liked how strong the scent was for a tiny candle so I'll probably keep an eye out for the full sized ones. (Madagascar Vanilla, I like sweet scents)
Few things make me happier than smelling a nest candle. Their scent fills the room and lasts for days, even after you blow it out. Once the candle is used, I love repurposing the decorative containers around the house as bud vases and pen holders. Whether you’re looking for something to spoil yourself with or a nice gift, you can’t go wrong with a nest candle!
