Learn About the brand
Laura Slatkin introduced the world to the art of home fragrance with the launch of Slatkin & Co in 1994. It was one of the first of its kind—a luxury home fragrance brand at a time when home fragrance was enjoyed by very few.Known for its sophisticated scents, Slatkin & Co quickly became the number one home fragrance company in the luxury market, leading to its acquisition by one of the largest specialty retailers in the world.Laura then went on to create bespoke home fragrances for over 100 of the most sought-after and exclusive luxury brands. While doing so, Laura sensed a void in the luxury market and set out to create her own brand, NEST New York. <br><br> Collaborating exclusively with master perfumers who had access to the world’s finest ingredients, Laura launched NEST New York in 2008 with a collection of expertly crafted candles featuring a proprietary wax formula with one of the highest percentages of fragrance oils in the industry. Today, NEST New York is the leading home fragrance brand in the luxury market. <br><br> In 2013, Laura went on to apply her expertise and vision to a highly creative and hugely successful collection of niche Eau de Parfums inspired by 18th century botanical paintings.She continued to innovate with the 2021 release of Perfume Oils, a skincare-inspired collection that introduced a completely new way to wear fragrance. Each Perfume Oil blends a single hero note ingredient with skin-softening baobab oil for long-lasting scent and luxurious nourishment. <br><br> A true tastemaker and pioneer, Laura has evolved NEST into a thriving lifestyle brand that not only spans home and fine fragrance, but also wellness, fragrance technology, and personal care.In 2019, she was recognized by The Fragrance Foundation with the renowned Game Changer Award for her extraordinary contributions to the world of fragrance and in 2022 was named the Beauty Market Maker of the Year by WWD.NEST remains at the forefront of the beauty industry, winning the most coveted awards year after year and setting the standard for creativity and innovation for years to come.
