Nest Fragrances - Wisteria Blue

Launched this year (2018), Wisteria Blue (“Wisteria”) is a new offering from Nest Fragrances.  The fragrance is a floral aquatic and was inspired by the Founder and CEO’s (Laura Slatkin) appreciation for the wisteria trees she saw growing up in the south and was recently reminded up during a historic homes tour in Charleston, SC. 

On me, this fragrance is all about the lightness and beauty of wisteria.  It is not a fragrance that has much development on wear, although at times a note does come forward for a bit and then recede.  Instead, it is more like an experience of being the delicate, draping wisteria blooms.

There is a gentle light airiness to this fragrance.  The wisteria comes across as being very real.  The jasmine and rose float along with the wisteria creating a sense of Southern comfort.  The aquatic notes add a fluidity to the fragrance and, in that place and time, seem to add a lazy drawl.   You could easily be sitting on that front porch, sipping your sweet tea, watching the world go past.

Wisteria Blue wears on me with light projection for roughly 7 hours.

Notes: wisteria, jasmine, Bulgarian rose, watery notes
