Reviews mention

  • Room-filling, powerful diffusion
  • Even, clean candle burn
  • Sophisticated, memorable fragrances
  • Versatile, layerable perfume oils
  • Inconsistent scent longevity
  • Occasionally overpowering in apartments
  • Divisive, dated packaging aesthetics
  • Paraffin-based candle wax

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.

  • Love how unique these scents are! Some of the perfumes have a good amount of staying power but the perfume oils are my favorite! I love that they have matching options for your home with candles and diffusers.

  • This brand has the most captivating, nostalgic scents. The oils last ages!

  • I bought the bamboo reed diffuser and if you want a diffuser with a GREAT throw for a big room then get this. Unfortunately it was a tad too overwhelming for my tiny apartment so I had to return. But it did smell great and it's extremely effective for larger spaces!

  • 2 stars for reasonable price and pretty packaging. Was gifted a sample set and while the scents are nice, they have no staying power. If you’re even the slightest bit prone to artificial fragrance headache, hard avoid. As it was a gift I’d normally just use and reuse regardless of staying power, because free. But I can’t do the piercing migraine. I have around 30 fragrances at home that do not do this (Immortal perfumes, Nue Co., Nicolai, Replica, LeLabo, etc.) go with one of those

  • The Madagascar vanilla perfume oil is a wonderful vanilla scent. I love vanilla and other gourmand fragrances so I have used this in the past to layer or mix with lotions to ensure that I smell great.

  • Really like the diffusers from NEST, have used them frequently and have also gifted them several times

  • Nest New York epitomizes fragrance excellence, offering a diverse range that effortlessly blends sophistication and luxury. From captivating candles to enduring perfumes, each product delivers a sensory journey through nature's beauty and artistic opulence. Nest's scents strike a perfect balance, lingering gracefully without overwhelming. The attention to detail extends to elegant packaging, adding glamour to any space. While the price reflects the luxury, the quality justifies the investment. Nest New York isn't just a brand; it's an olfactory indulgence, perfect for those who appreciate the finer things. In the realm of luxury fragrances, Nest New York stands out as a beacon of timeless elegance.

  • I've had one of their rollerballs for a few years at this point. Sadly, that scent has been discontinued but I know that when it does finally run out, I will be returning to nest for another rollerball. It's the perfect travel perfume and great quality! I haven't tried their candles (I can't justify spending that much on a candle) but they all look and smell AMAZING.

  • I have bought a bunch of fragrances by them. My favorite is the madagascar vanilla perfume oil, which smells SO good. It smells clean, classy, and not overly "in-your-face." Great for perfume conneseuirs and beginners alike. If you've ever been on a Disney Cruise or another Disney location, it smells like the air there.

  • I have a nest fragrance infuser that I literally order a refill for when I see it’s getting low. I flip the sticks almost every day to ensure a strong fragrance and I absolutely love it. Even without flipping, it’s just strong enough to lend a refreshing and calming scent to the room that allows for aromatherapy and a calming vibe. Not overpowering but present, the scent is uplifting and soothing. The beautiful glass bottle is both decorative and low key. My favorite is the grapefruit.

  • Smell greats and it's extremely effective for large spaces. I used it at a warehouse event and the diffusion is spectacular.

  • the nest grapefruit candle is one of the best smelling candles ever! its so fresh and pungent. it also came with an adorable rattan outer shell for the christmas edition, which made an amazing gift for my mom! she loved it and it smelled amazing for a long time and burned for a while. great candle! pricey but worth it

  • I have worn Wisteria and love it! I’d like to review the Grapefruit candle. Everyone loves citrus and grapefruit seems interesting.

  • I bought one of the Nest candles at a sample sale and it was incredible! The smell was strong but sophisticated and instantly lit up the room. I know "sophisticated" is hard to picture when it comes to fragrance, but it didn't smell overtly sweet, or woody or floral to me - it smelled good yet too complex to describe - which is sophisticated to me. It's a bit pricey at ~$50 a candle, but its really great fragrance. Would be a really great gift for someone you care about.

  • First tried this fragrance with the Pura diffuser…. And fell in LOVE! The smell is light, last long and effectively covers the smell from having two large German Shepherds! I have it on authorship!!!
