I love the NEST fragrances, especially their candles. To quote:
“I was inspired to create Wisteria Blue while
walking through the Historic District in Charleston, S.C.,” said Laura
Slatkin, Founder of NEST Fragrances. “I came across a home that was
covered in wisteria blossoms in the most extraordinary shades of
lavender, blue and white; it was right then and there that I knew I had
to create a wisteria fragrance.”
Upon returning to New York, Slatkin knew
immediately she wanted to collaborate with Givaudan senior perfumer
Rodrigo Flores-Roux to develop the fragrance. “He is legendary in the
fragrance industry, but I had not yet had the pleasure of working with
him,” said Slatkin. “When I got to his lab, Rodrigo shared with me an
essence of wisteria. He said this rare essence was extracted from
wisteria blooms adorning Petit Trianon, Marie Antoinette’s home at
Versailles. It was pure perfection.”
Slatkin continued, “To complete Wisteria Blue,
we added imperial jasmine and Bulgarian rose – notes Rodrigo calls the
‘king and queen of any important floral fragrance’ – and fresh watery
nuances. The end result is an exquisite fine fragrance that captures the
ethereal beauty and artistry of wisteria.” As with all of her previous
creations for the NEST Fine Fragrances Collection, Slatkin worked
closely with widely respect Russian artist Alexander Solodukho, who
painstakingly sketched and painted the original botanical artwork for
Wisteria Blue’s packaging. (Read more.)
