'Voyages by Nest' is the newest luxury fragrance line from Nest New York, launching exclusively at Harrods and signaling the brand’s entrance into the premium scent market. Inspired by founder Laura Slatkin’s global travels, the collection includes six distinct scents -- 'Tempting Tonka,' 'Rose Sublime,' 'Hypnotic Amber,' 'Opulent Osmanthus,' 'Cerulean Coast,' and 'Oud Mystique' -- each designed to evoke a specific destination and mood.
Anchoring the collection is Rose Sublime, a standout blend of rose, muguet de Versailles, sandalwood, and musk, created by master perfumer Antoine Maisondieu of Givaudan. The line spans eau de parfums, perfume oils, candles, and diffusers, with prices reflecting its upscale positioning -- each item thoughtfully packaged with artistic details, including etched silver lids and destination-inspired grisaille illustrations.
Nest CEO Edgar Huber emphasized the strategic expansion into high-end fragrance as a move to tap into the fastest-growing segment of the beauty industry and appeal to new, luxury-minded consumers. Following its Harrods debut, Voyages by Nest will launch at Bergdorf Goodman in June and Holt Renfrew in September, reinforcing the brand’s international retail strategy.
