About Nest New York
Laura Slatkin founded Nest New York in 2008, drawing on decades of experience as a fragrance industry pioneer — she previously created Slatkin & Co., which was acquired by Bath & Body Works. Nest has since earned numerous awards and become one of the most recognized names in American luxury home fragrance. Each candle features a premium wax blend formulated with the highest concentration of fragrance oils for maximum scent throw, which is among the strongest in the market. Their bestselling Grapefruit candle has achieved cult status, and seasonal collections like Holiday and Birchwood Pine have become annual traditions in countless homes. The brand's striking etched-glass vessels make every candle a statement piece. Nest candles are widely available at top retailers including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Sephora.
