NEST Fragrances

Jacie — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:48:24 GMT

I have been intrigued by these! They have been at QVC for awhile now, so I am sure some of you have used them!

What are your thoughts?

I am not adverse to ordering without sampling, just want some feedback as to what you might liken the scents to. When I read the on-line reviews a few said they didn't last on their skin.

TIA Ladies!

Last month took the plunge, One day only special. Indigo w/bonus two roller balls of D&V and Midight Fleur. Omy!! INDIGO !!! Amazing. Magical indeed!! Swirls around me through the day. For me lasting few hours. Thinking about the body cream. This would extend the scent. Why not try? You have until Jan to return. By the way! I'm highly sensitive to scents, No problem with Nest. Good luck!

@Jacie There are a few threads on this already. You might find it helpful to use the search bar to find those conversations. Everyone is different when it comes to fragrance. For example, I really like the Midnight Fleur but there are others who strongly dislike it. The same goes for other scents in the line. Before taking the risk on a pricey scent that you may or may not like, you might consider getting the little sampler set from Sephora (more variety than the sampler on QVC) and trying them out that way first. That's what I did. The little roller bottles are small enough to take in your purse or for travel too.

Midnight Fleur reminds me a lot of Theirry Mugler's Angel or Viktor and Rolf's FlowerBomb.

If you have a Sephora store near you, you can check their inventory online and see which Nest fragrances they carry in your local store. Go smell them or try them on there, then you can come back here to pick up a set.

I did find some of those conversations, the problem was that most were complaining about not being able to sample it. I was just seeking information from people who are using or have used it. I have read any number of the QVC reviews but feel that the regular board contributors could be more helpful and specific!

I will definitely go too Sephora at some point! But until I get there......

There is a 5 pc. sampler on the Q that is a great price. It comes to about $39 with shipping and tax for 1.25 oz total. Each one of the 5 are .25 oz. That's not a bad price at all and you get to try 5 of them.

I have ordered them, but not received them yet. I have wanted to try them for a long time.

Dahlia and Vines is what I wear. It is a subtle, ladylike fragrance that I get many compliments on.

@ChynnaBlue Yes, it does - TM Alien, too. That's probably one of the reasons I like them, they all have patchouli in them.

I haven't tried these fragrances, but they are made by Harry Slakin's wife Laura. He used to make the candles at B&BW. They were so long lasting. Wish they still carried them!

I agree with the poster who suggested buying the sampler set. They're nice sized little bottles and a great chance to try all the scents.

What I found with these fragrances is that I often did not really like how they smelled just sniffing them out of the bottle but how a few of them smell on me is a whole other story!

I only have the mini roller balls that came in a 3 pack. They last a very long time on me.

I am not real into perfumes and rarely use them but I really like the Dhalia & vines -I normally don't like florals very much but this is just pretty and romantic- perfect for date night.

I also really love the Verde scent. It smells quite differently on me than in the bottle. In fact, if I didn't get them for a gift there is no way I'd ever buy this one just based on the sniff test I did. However, on me, it smells amazing and hubby comments every time I wear it. It is more of a "green" scent but not like I smell like grass, lol. Just a nice, fresh scent.

I did not like the Midnight fleur at all and neither did my hubby. It smells like something my grandma wears (no offense to anyone who loves it). It just doesn't mesh with my body chemistry.

Still not sure about Indigo. Haven't really worn it yet but the scent isn't blowing me away but I know now that I can't soley trust that!

@Jacie - One other thing... If there are only one or two scents that you're interested in, rather than buying an entire sampler set you could look on eBay for individual trial sizes. Just an idea.

Thank you for this information. After watching a presentation, I was considering ordering this fragrance. I do not care for either of the scents you mentioned so you saved me money.

If you have access to a Sephora, you can ask for free samples.

I have tried them all and didn't find any that were full-bottle worthy. In fact, I disliked most of them. And I, too, don't favor Flowerbomb or Angel, so that probably accounts for my particularly not enjoying Midnight Fleur.

If they do all contain patchouli, that may contribute to my reaction. Patchouli and I rarely get along.

A few weeks ago I ordered the ODO NEST frangrance and body cream in Indigo. I really like it. It lasts pretty long on me too.

I agree with others that if you have a Sephora near you, go smell them. I took a chance by ordering this, but I went with Laura and Jill's description.

@Jacie

I agree that it's worth looking and trying these fragrances first if you are near a Sephora store as you may or may not like them. I only like Nest Paradise which smells like oranges. It's not one of the fragrances included in any kits I've seen online or in store and so far I've only bought 2 rollerballs. My next fragrance purchase will be a full size bottle of Nest Paradise.

@HappyDaze Just ruined my diabolical plan!

I ordered the 5 pack with every intention of sniffing and giving away a few as gifts!

Speaking of Angel I adore the mens' version so I was really disappointed when I spritzed the womens' on myself at Ulta! But then it dried down and I really liked it..

@Jacie, as many have suggested and if you have a Sephora near by, you can test them ... they have a sampler set of 7 for $36 - or go on-line.

This set contains:
7 x 0.10 oz/ 3 mL Rollerballs in Midnight Fleur, Verde, Dahlia & Vines, Indigo, Citrine, White Sandalwood, Paradise

I ordered the Nest 5 piece sampler set about a year ago. I like all of the scents, except for one that is an almond and sandalwood scent, just not for me. But all of the other scents are very nice and each one has its own unique personality. I will say, though, that I don't think the scents have great staying power...I bring the little bottles in my purse and find myself reapplying throughout the day. Maybe I need to try the body cream also and then layer with the perfume.
