My Favorite Summer Scents ☀️
One of my favorite things about summer is how a fragrance can instantly transport you somewhere special. Whether it's a favorite vacation, a walk along the water, or simply opening the windows on a sunny afternoon, scent has a way of creating memories.
Since so many of you ask me which NEST fragrances I love most, I thought I'd share a few of my summer favorites...
🌊 Ocean Mist & Sea Salt
This one instantly takes me to Noank, Connecticut—one of my favorite places to escape. It smells like salty ocean air, breezy summer afternoons, and peaceful days by the water. Every time I light it, I feel like I've stolen a little piece of the coast and brought it home.
🎋 Bamboo
If I could describe "clean, fresh, and effortlessly beautiful" in one fragrance, this would be it. Bamboo is light, calming, and elegant without ever overpowering a room. It's the scent I reach for when I want my home to feel bright, welcoming, and beautifully put together.
🍊 Grapefruit
Pure happiness in a candle. Bright, crisp, and full of energy, Grapefruit has a way of making any space feel sunny and alive. It's my go-to for kitchens, mornings, and anytime I need a little pick-me-up.
☀️ Sunlit Yuzu & Neroli
This one feels like summer bottled. It's bright, citrusy, and warm with just the right touch of softness. Every time I smell it, I think of sunshine, vacations, and long afternoons that you never want to end.
✨ The best part? During The Jewelry Event of the Summer, all NEST New York Candles & Reed Diffusers are 15% OFF through July 25.
If you've been waiting to refresh your home or stock your gift closet with hostess, birthday, or thank-you gifts, now is the perfect time.
I'd love to know...
