NEST Fragrances Personal Care Products

I’m pretty sure I’ve actually uttered the words “I wish I could just bathe in this candle”. Well, NEST Fragrances heard me! They recently launched Body Washes and Body Creams from some of their most iconic scents: Bamboo, Grapefruit, Moroccan Amber, Moss & Mint, Orange Blossom and Wasabi Pear. I am most thrilled with the authentic replication of the fragrance. They didn’t alter or adapt the fragrance, so if you love Grapefruit, that is absolutely what you will get when you pick up the Grapefruit body cream or wash.

Just like all their products, NEST has fashionable packaging down. I love the way these products look in my shower or by my bed. The body wash formula is impressive. It doesn’t strip moisture, is gentle on my sensitive skin and actually conditions. Aloe vera gel soothes and silk proteins provide moisture balance. Coconut, corn and oat-derived cleansers get the job done without irritation. There is nothing better than waking up with Grapefruit in the shower.

The body cream is luxurious and rich. You can expect long-term, lush moisturizing. Shea butter, French plum oil, grape seed oil and jojoba provide nourishment. The cream also contains aloe vera to soothe. They even threw in vitamins to condition and protect. My favorite scent, Moroccan Amber is perfect at bedtime with its cozy and calming notes. These are both now available on NeimanMarcus.com. Free shipping with code JULYFS.

Two main reasons why I appreciate Laura Slatkin (other than her outstanding home fragrances). First, she’s a Wall Street girl turned luxury goods expert. I too have some Wall Street years under my belt, so I know how hard it can to be to transition out of that world. Secondly, she’s bringing her award winning home fragrances to our skin. Yep, NEST is rolling out the personal care products. Since this brand is far and away one of my favorites in the space, I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you.

  1. You already know how much I love when fashion and beauty meet (hello, Guerlain and Pucci). Same goes for home fragrance and fashion. Jason Wu launched his first fragrance, Orchid Rain, in scented candle form in March. Inspired by florals, Wu included crisp freshness of rare orchid and Asian pear. And the porcelain vessel can be reused (currently home to my makeup brushes).
  2. My favorite size of candle is the single wick. They last about 50 hours and are easy to maintain. The grapefruit is perfect for a clean, “pick me up” scent. Pink pomelo grapefruit and watery green nuances are blended with Lily of the Valley and Coriander Blossom.
  3. I usually don’t like uber-floral candles, but springtime sometimes calls for Peony Blanche Candle. Peony blossoms and watery nuances are accented by a white floral bouquet of jasmine, magnolia, and lily.
  4. I’m new to the diffuser scene and already hooked. It is a persistant and low-maintenance way to freshen a room. I keep my Blue Garden in the bathroom – never having to fret about leaving it unattended.
  5. Here is where the beauty blogger in me REALLY gets excited. Hand soaps are the newest launch and just the beginning of what I hope to be a large personal care line. The soaps are not drying and housed in the most beautiful vessel. Moss and Mint is great for the kitchen and Bamboo (green citrus and white florals) is perfect for the guest bath.
  6. My favorite of all NEST scents is Moroccan Amber – just a hint masculine and so cozy for an evening spent in.

Keep an eye out for the Beach line hitting counters soon – sparkling turquoise water and lush coconut are married with juicy melon and a luminous base of lotus flower and sensual woods.
