New Niche Perfume Launch: Nest Fine Fragrance -Christophe Laudamiel and Jerome Epinette Perfumers

 

 One of my favorite discontinued fragrances is Absinthe by Slatkin & Co. which was created by Christophe Laudamiel (and given to me by no other than Chandler Burr) before Harry and Laura Slatkin sold the company to Limited Brands in 2005 (which also owns Henri Bendel, Victoria’s Secret, and Bath & Body Works). Since then, Harry Slatkin has continued to develop Slatkin & Co. candles, with a range designed exclusively for Bath & Body Works, while Laura started Nest Candles in 2009. About four months ago in a conversation with Nest executive Tim Rossi he hinted that Nest would be entering the fine fragrance market soon.

 According to Women’s Wear Daily there are three perfumes in the Nest Fine Fragrance collection: Amazon Lily, a blend of lilies, Brazilian lime, tangerine, bergamot and driftwood; Midnight Fleur, infused with exotic woods, patchouli, black amber, night-blooming jasmine and vanilla orchid, and Passiflora, which features passion flower, hyacinth, lily of the valley and an “overdose of green notes,” said Slatkin of her personal favorite in the range. Each eau de parfum will retail for $115 and will be available in Mid-September exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.

Maybe they will bring Absinthe back?

    That would be awesome if they brought the Slatkin Black Fig & Absinthe back, I still have the Body cream and Shower gel, I stocked up when this scent was discontinued and missed out on getting the fragrance.

    I loved the orange blossom shampoo. When it was discontinued I went to every tj maxx in town and bought all they had. I used the last one a few months ago. I wish they’d bring that back.

    I really like Nest grapefruit candle
    and am a big fan of both the noses Jerome Epinette and Christoph Laudamiel
    The beautiful bottles and the perfumes themselves are very feminine florals judging by the notes so I would think that maybe that’s their direction and the unisex black fig & absinthe isn’t part of the plan:(

    Nice packaging! I haven’t seen packaging that pleased me so much in a loooong time!

    Fragrances sound very nice as well, all seem to be interesting.

    I too was a Slatkin devotee. The Bamboo & Jasmine candles were a staple of mine for years, for myself and as gifts. The Bath and Body works version just makes me long for the old days.
    I will definitely try the Nest candles and scents. The bottles look pretty.

  • Musette says:

    this packaging is just gorgeous. I used to burn the Slatkin candles. I won’t get this line until we finish work on our ratty old bathroom – it is not worthy of such pretty bottles and jars. Not yet.
