NEST Wild Poppy Review
The first time I caught a whiff of Wild Poppy by NEST New York, it made me feel indifferent. The fragrance was fruity, floral (just the way I like them), feminine, and clean. So why wasn’t I completely sold? For starters, it has a very unique smell, which made me go back and forth over whether I liked it or loved it enough to buy it. By my second encounter with the spray, I decided it would be worth adding to my fragrance collection.
The Wild Poppy scent can easily be misunderstood, and it may take a little time to get adjusted to such a distinct floral fragrance. But once it captivates you, as it did me, you will grow to enjoy its cute scent, its bright floral notes, and its rather surprising versatility.
About NEST New York
NEST New York crafts luxury home fragrances, fine fragrances, and scented body care collections. When founder, Laura Slatkin, launched the company in 2008, it solely focused on home scents. Five years later, Laura added fine fragrances, like Wild Poppy, to the collection.
Exploring Wild Poppy
NEST Wild Poppy is a fragrance developed by Jérôme Epinette and it was inspired by the evolution of the poppy flower. When the founder of NEST, Laura Slatkin, became fascinated as to why poppy buds were considered ugly, she studied them during their humble beginnings and witnessed the buds bloom into the beautiful wild poppy flowers that are noted in this fragrance.
Here are a few other prominent notes in NEST Wild Poppy:
- Apricot
- Himalayan Jasmine
- Pear
- Raspberry
- Rose de Grasse
As a floral fragrance fanatic, part of my reason for giving Wild Poppy 3.5 out of 5 stars is due to its very sweet smell. I would classify Wild Poppy as more of a citrus, fruity fragrance than a floral one. However, it’s the combination of floral, fruity, and citrus notes that makes it smell so vibrant and clean.
Is NEST Wild Poppy Eau de Parfum the fragrance for me?
NEST Wild Poppy is unlike any fragrance I have ever smelled before. So if you’re looking for something similar to a fragrance that already has your heart, this is not the fragrance for you. However, if you long for a unique scent that makes a lasting impression, the NEST brand is well-known for making a statement. The Wild Poppy scent is sweet, bouncy, but highly endearing.
