Paradise

This is absolutely beautiful. It's my favorite Nest scent, and one of my top ten scents overall. I have 100+ scents, and I bought a backup bottle of this one. I love citrus, and this one has a powerful orange smell, but it's rounded out with some aquatic freshness and a very light touch of floral to my nose, to make it sweeter and more feminine. There's some spicy ginger to make it more interesting, but it's not at all overpowering. It smells expensive (especially for a citrus!) and gorgeous. It smells like nighttime in a summer paradise-- I literally close my eyes when I spray in the morning, and it takes me somewhere else for a few moments. I recently bought Kate Spade's Truly Joyful, which has some similarities. I think highly of that line of perfumes as well, but Nest Paradise beats that one hands down. It also has remarkable lasting power and village for a citrus. I get at least a half day's wear out of it and a skin scent even past that. If you are a citrus fan and ever run across a bottle, snatch it up!

I have a mini of this one that I forgot I had, I LOVE citrus scents and expected this to just be a fresh orange juice kind of thing but I was wrong. This is a gooorgeous blood orange, there IS a difference between Sunny D and a blood orange, it's much juicier and smells like a fresh peel. The ginger gives it a zingy freshness which I dislike ginger but this is just in the background so it's not overpowering the blood orange. I don't know about watery notes or cedar, but this is the best citrus scent I've smelled! I'm in love!! Only issue I've had with this is like all citrus scents, it doesn't last! I'll stick around for an hour or two then disappears. This would be so nice in the summer and spring, I've never had a fragrance come alive on my skin like this. Update - I layered this on top of coconutty Elle L'aime by Lolita Lempicka and it smells AMAZING, like a creamsicle!

This perfume has been in my collection for quite some time and it never ever disappoints. It is truly a wild, juicy very realistic zesty orange peel with spicy, warming ginger and it flips back and forth, shifting the focus from one to the other until the very end. It's so fresh and yet, warm. SO nice for the summer heat. When I want to smell sexy, sweet, and alluring, maybe for a date, I pair this with DNKY Nectar Love (sweet, warmer, 'thicker' beeswax/honey/orange scent) and they play so beautifully together. Paradise can be a bit TOO realistic fresh and Nectar Love can be a little TOO warm/boozy for some occasions so when combined there is a balance that I cannot explain. Absolutely perfect though, on its own. A favourite.

My favorite NEST perfume! It breaks my heart that this scent is discontinued. This perfume holds a special place in my heart as this was one of the first "designer" scents I added to my collection. Upon initial spray, mouth watering orange fills the air with a hint of ginger. There is a slightly woody note, which adds some depth and allows it not to be a generic citrus scent. To me, it's not multi-dimensional or layered, but this doesn't bother me at all. As with most citrus scents, the performance is not beast mode and dries down to a skin scent about 4-5 hours later on me. If you like citrus scents and can still find this, snatch it up, you will not regret it! Perfect for a summer day.

I got a sample of this at Sephora and purchased it immediately the next day. I don't usually like citrus fragrances but this is one of the most enchanting, entrancing, sexy perfumes I have ever smelled. The citrus is strong, sharp, realistic and juicy. To me it smells more like an orange peel than the flesh of the fruit. It has that sharp, bitter edge that the peel has. The only other thing I smell is cedar wood, which adds a sexy clean masculine edge and softens the bitter citrus. It is not the longest lasting fragrance, which is unfortunate but won't dissuade me from wearing it every day.
