NEST’s Iconic Holiday Candle Is Now a Perfume

Testers noted the opening was bright and fruity, settling into a cozy

NEST has transformed its beloved holiday candle into a new fragrance, launching the scent as a perfume today. The product, inspired by the candle’s warm blend of pine, cranberry, and spice, aims to capture the seasonal aroma in a wearable form. Our office tested the perfume ahead of the official release to evaluate its fidelity to the original candle scent and its wearability. The holiday candle, a long-standing favorite known for its rich, festive aroma, has been a staple in homes during the winter season for years. NEST’s decision to adapt it into a perfume reflects a growing trend of translating popular home scents into personal fragrances. The perfume notes mirror the candle’s core elements: top notes of cranberry and orange zest, heart notes of pine and cinnamon, and a base of clove and vanilla.

Testers noted the opening was bright and fruity, settling into a cozy, spiced dry down that lasted approximately six hours on skin. How Does the Perfume Compare to the Candle? While the candle fills a room with its scent through combustion, the perfume delivers a more intimate, personal experience. Testers observed that the perfume lacked the smoky undertone present when the candle burns, which some felt made it less complex but more suitable for direct skin application. One tester remarked, „It smells like walking into a beautifully decorated living room, not like standing next to the fireplace.” The fragrance is marketed as an eau de parfum, with a concentration designed for lasting wear without being overpowering. Who Is This Fragrance Intended For? NEST positions the perfume as a unisex scent targeting consumers who associate the holidays with nostalgia and comfort.

The brand emphasizes its appeal to those who enjoy gourmand and woody fragrances with a seasonal twist. Early feedback suggests strong interest from fans of the candle who want to extend the holiday ambiance beyond the home. The perfume is available in 30ml and 50ml sizes, priced at $98 and $138 respectively, aligning with NEST’s premium fragrance line. Frequently Asked Questions Is the perfume identical to the candle scent? No, while it shares the same core notes, the perfume is formulated differently to suit skin application and lacks the smoky quality of the burning candle. How long does the fragrance last? Testers observed moderate longevity of about six hours, typical for an eau de parfum concentration. Can it be layered with other scents? Yes, NEST suggests it pairs well with vanilla or citrus-based fragrances for a personalized holiday blend.
