Nest
Home fragrance house that learned to wear scent.
NEST New York was founded in 2008 by Laura Slatkin, who had previously built the home-fragrance label Slatkin & Co. The house began with scented candles using an unusually high oil load and expanded in 2013 into eau de parfum, then into diffusers, body care, and fine-fragrance flankers, growing to roughly two hundred million dollars in annual revenue before Slatkin stepped back from day-to-day operations. The perfume catalogue — Indigo, Black Tulip, Madagascar Vanilla, Vanilla Bourbon — works in the comfortable American luxury idiom: legible single-idea compositions, soft gourmand and floral structures, and packaging keyed to interiors as much as personal wear. Collaborating perfumers have included Christophe Laudamiel, Mathilde Bijaoui, Jérôme Epinette, and Rodrigo Flores-Roux.

Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
