Wisteria Blue

I get why people say this is similar to J'Adore- it sort of is. I do think it's closer to Dolce than anything else due to the extra florals. I like those both so it stands to reason I like this one as well. If you've never smelled Dolce think of J'Adore with a spicy floral kick at the end. This drydown is better than Dolce IMO, sweet with a punch of Wisteria/Lilac. I just ordered a $50 sampler pack of Nest fragrances thinking I'd like Indigo based on reviews, but this one blew every other one out of the water for me. I had been looking for something Lilac and never thought to search instead for Wisteria- and here it fell into my lap when I was looking for something entirely different. This is the scent of spring personified- somehow both delicate and strong without smelling falsely chemical. I have been looking for a new floral scent but I'm picky about them - Coach Poppy has been the only other floral I've purchased. Flowerbomb by V&R is like an assault to my senses and Gucci Bloom just seems like a knockoff of Dolce and nothing special to me- couldn't believe the price tag. This is what Dolce and Bloom were trying to achieve but better- Nest chose a singular floral to have the final punch of longevity, and they chose correctly. Wisteria, boom. FWIW the scent on my skin was far superior to paper. It smells sweeter on paper and I get the comment about alcoholic drydown- it is a bit sharp at the end, almost like pencil erasers? Which sounds bad but it's not somehow- an inch away from my skin I get nothing but Wisteria. Nose pressed to skin? A little sharp maybe. But this? This I'm buying a full bottle of. This is strong businesswoman wearing a fashionable rain trench in spring, dashing between puddles. I intend to be that woman.

The Glam Twinz brought me here! I've been on the hunt for a new, fresh aquatic scent now that summer has arrived in the air fryer climate that is the San Fernando Valley. After stumbling upon some aquatic scent recommendation videos, Nest Wisteria Blue came up. I always wanted to try this brand, and I have to say, I'm officially a fan! This is one of the most delightful fresh florals I've tested. Wisteria Blue is in the same vein as Chloé or Clinique Happy Heart–a sweet, fresh, aquatic floral with clean, watery notes and airy flowers, with just a hint of fruity juiciness. Although ethereal wisteria is listed as the top note, Wisteria Blue is more rose-forward to my nose. The jasmine note is soft and slightly vanillic, much like the star jasmine that grows wild in my neighborhood, rather than skanky or indolic. There isn't a stray dirty note here. The water note is also subtly sweet. Although not listed, I detect just a hint of cucumber in the drydown. These notes together are just pure catnip to my freshie-obsessed self. On top of all of this, Wisteria Blue is one of the best performing fresh scents, EVER. My skin absorbs perfumes like you wouldn't believe, but Wisteria Blue defied all odds and lingered on my skin for a good five hours before gently fading. I'm totally head over heels in love with this. This would be so good for the office, bedtime, or just whenever. The Glam Twinz were right about this one. I'm officially a Nest fan!

Update: I saw someone else mention a rose note, and they are right. This actually smells like Ellis Brooklyn RRose and Pure Poison had a baby. Wisteria Blue, to me, smells like the dry-down of Pure Poison with aquatic notes and a little less jasmine. In my opinion, this actually smells better than PP, and PP is one of my all time favorites. I noticed with PP, the opening is very bitter/sharp to my nose, but within 3-5 minutes it settles into a heavenly jasmine blanket. With WIsteria Blue, you receive the dry-down in the beginning, and it stays that way. PP is more jasmine centric so the dry-down is a little stronger and smells more of jasmine whereas WB turns into wisteria, water notes, and a soft kick of Jasmine. I think WB will be an intimate scent, with weak to medium longevity, but it's so beautiful. I'll need to wear it for a whole day before I can elaborate more on it. I would wear this all year, but it smells more like a fragrance meant for Spring and some Summer days. It's a light scent, but there is a powdery note in there that I imagine being cloying when the weather is too hot.

A Perfume with all the viscus qualities of a water nymph waiting to embrace you and potentially drown you. Either way, she'll end up dragging you to the bottom of the pond with her. Clean, soft floral, aquatic without being oceanic, and elegant with a hint of darkness and coolness. An aquatic floral if there ever was one. Maybe not groundbreaking to some, but I love it. I'm especially thankful to have this in the unbearably hot triple degree weather right now. The air being heavy with dry heat amplifies the watery note and makes it less sweet and floral. In more mild weather the wisteria remains more prominent and diaphanous. The sweetness dies down after the first hour. The longevity was impressive, spraying it at around 6:00am and still noticeable at about 2:00pm. It reminds me a little bit of Flower Fresh from Clean, but moody and 'blue' instead of bright and 'pink.' If you like a fresh aquatic floral this might be one to try, but it might be cloying to some. Sometimes soapy, but in a good way.

Lovely, dewy purpley floral scent. It is cool and lush, like you're in a secret stone passageway in a garden, sunny outside but very dark and damp inside, the entryway ceiling and walls dripping with flowers in full bloom. I don't know the scent of actual wisteria enough to say whether that is the blooming flower this fragrance represents, but it's so pretty. Thankfully there is no bug-spray element that usually emerges from my skin when there are rose notes in a fragrance. As it dries down, it loses a little of the florals and gains more of the stone, almost a clay or mineralic tinge. I am just finishing my little 9 or 10 mL rollerball, so it stays very close to the skin for me, not sure if that's because of the application method or just Nest fragrances in general as suggested by others.

Late spring, early summer. You are alone, or so you think, by a secluded flora-rich lake. Dizzy from the sweltering heat of the sun, your toes break the surface of the cool water, dipping in as it beads and evaporates over your wet skin, cooling you off. The wisteria surrounding you is full bodied but not cloying, chasing off the heat induced fog in your brain with the sweet, alluring florals. The jasmine and rose add a deep complexity without overwhelming your senses, the fresh, sun sparkling water prompting you to slide in deeper and deeper, against your better judgement.

this has been my signature scent for a long time now, incredibly sad to hear that it's discontinued!! it opens very fresh, ive seen people mention clean laundry at the opening and i definitely agree with that. but where it really shines for me is a couple hours after application- like a flower garden on the lakeside. the watery notes are where it really shines for me, it's surprisingly deep which i struggle to find in feminine aquatic fragrances. longevity always impresses me! i can usually put this on in the morning, and still have it lingering around the end of the night.

This is a very sentimental fragrance for me. My boyfriend took me shopping for our first Valentine's Day and I picked this perfume. The beautiful bottle drew me in, and the name is even special because his nickname for me is Blue. I wanted to get a scent he liked on me, since he was the one buying it for me. Its an easy to wear, fresh, aquatic, and floral scent. It kind of reminds me of a body wash scent. I love it so much. It lasts all day on me. I will always cherish this scent and I only wear it around my boyfriend because thats what I want to associate the scent with.

The jasmine & rose notes are just like Dior J’adore but wayyyy less powdery. For half of the price, I adore it and will probably pick a bottle up. I have a tiny rollerball I’ve been using and I would absolutely wear this always in the spring through summer. I love that this perfume is aquatic and fresh without citrus notes so it is rather unique to me since most freshies smell like astringent cleaning products. Instead this smells like true freshness —you just took a luxurious shower with the fancy floral-scented shampoos & shower gels after a long day at the beach.

Wisteria is my favorite flower, so best believe I had high expectations when testing this fragrance. I'm happy to report that it definitely reached them! A delicate, clean, floral fragrance that I've come to really adore. Personally, I plan on wearing this to the gym. It's close enough to the skin that it won't bother people, but present enough that I'll be able to smell it myself as I'm working out. Makes you feel fresh just by smelling it. Definitely has the vibe of a forest full of wisteria trees right after it rained. Absolutely lovely!

Wow this perfume is very pretty. It is in my top favorites from Nest. What drew me in first is the art on the bottle. Nest bottles are eye catching to me. I feel like this is something most of us have smelled before and it is a crowd pleaser but it is still very lovely. It smells like spring time flowers and there is a light rain drizzle outside and the air is fresh and clean. It is also very soft at the same time. I think maybe it's the name but it does smell blue to me. It would be nice to wear it on a rainy day.

When I asked for a sample of this at Sephora, the beauty consultant said that this might be the next signature scent. I think she's right. It's the perfect balance of a soft, clean floral and a fresh spring water scent, with just a hint of (non-sugary) sweetness. I feel like it would be perfect for everyday wear. Wisteria Blue is definitely going to be one of the next two full-size purchases that I make (the other being Proenza Schouler Arizona). My only complaint is that it doesn't have much sillage or longevity.

This is the only Nest fragrance I like and I love it. So sad it's been discontinued! It's very much like J'Adore went on vacation to a lush rainy cool garden retreat. It's very floral but also aquatic and ultra feminine. Nest fragrances don't have the best longevity I find, but this one lasts around 5 or 6 hours in clothes and only 2 or 3 on skin. I have had compliments on this one by family. I purchased a full bottle because my partial was getting low. Sad to see it go!

This smells like reading The New Yorker under a willow tree on a late summer morning. Flowers are blooming in a nearby garden. There's a gentle breeze, and a clear babbling brook nearby. I normally don't go for watery or green scents, but this is simply gorgeous. Bonus points for it blending with Oscar De La Renta's Bella Essence exquisitely - the combination smells like the mist of a waterfall, and lilies. 5 out of 5 stars.

This is one of my personal favorites. I wear it a lot during spring, and early fall. Or just whenever I wanna smell like Wisteria because I love the way it smells. I would say this is a niche scent. You gotta like wisteria, though because it smells like rainy day walking through an insane amount of wisteria vines while a low breeze blows by. I love it.

I also feel some similarity between the opening of this and J'adore despite the notes totally not matching:) however the overall impression is different, Wisteria is a bit... not cheap smelling per see, but has this AVON vibe....meaning you can kinda tell its cheap but quality is relatively good for the cheapness. Except Nest is not that cheap:)

It smells like a wet and rainy garden. I don't know what wisteria smells like since I have not smelled a wisteria plant before. The aquatic notes tops this fragrance off giving fresh. Only downfall is that it does not last long, roughly about 5 hours then I would need to top up. Wisteria Blue is still a great scent despite it not lasting.

This stunning scent was my introduction to Nest, and what an intro it was. I can only describe it as "beautiful." If you want a realistic-smelling floral without any powderiness, this is fantastic. Very fresh and clean, not juvenile or sweet. I consistently reach for this and plan to repurchase when I run out.

This scent is getting discontinued, so I got a travel size at half price to test. And I do really like it! It's an inoffensive fresh floral to me with a lead of a purple floral (hyacinth/lilac/wisteria, in this case). Not groundbreaking but definitely not bad. Don't regret adding it to the collection at all!

Really unique scent, it’s floral but not a generic one like jasmine, rose, gardenia, etc and it’s also not masculine or powdery. It’s dewy and reminds me of a water nymph. For some reason this also smelled cold to me, like cold rain. It’s so beautiful and I need more dewy floral fragrances like this!
