The NEST Candles<\/a> are a subset of NEST Fragrances, a relatively recent and specialized luxury brand founded by Laura Slatkin.<\/p>\n The company has become well known for its highly effective and varied line of scents which consistently receive positive reviews and have made the candles a desired, albeit a little pricey, option for someone seeking an upscale product that looks good, lasts long and most importantly, actually works.<\/p>\n [content-egg module=Amazon template=custom\/grid3 hide=price]<\/p>\n As you explore the more than forty candle scents NEST has to choose from, you\u2019ll notice the packaging which emulates the look of a luxurious fragrance that grabs attention simply by how understated and elegant it looks.<\/p>\n Opening one of the candles, you\u2019ll find a translucent candle holder that\u2019s unassuming yet maintains the fancy NEST style that emanates opulence. One of the most popular scents among these candles is bamboo, which is one of the several scents like Moroccan Amber offered that aren\u2019t typically found among competitors. There\u2019s even one bearing the name of Sir Elton John himself.<\/p>\n There are four sizes of NEST Candles<\/a> available: two inches, 3.5 inches, five inches, and seven inches. As you\u2019d expect, the tallest candles have the greatest amount of ounces (76) and thus provide the longest burn times, over 300 hours.<\/p>\n It\u2019s an impressive number considering that these larger candles have four wicks and will, therefore, burn faster. However, you\u2019ll have to shell out more than $200 if you\u2019d like to experience one of these long burning, luxurious candles.<\/p>\n A lot has been made recently about the type of candle wax used and their quality, with soy wax and beeswax becoming a safer option than paraffin. Unlike many candle brands that stick to one or the other, NEST Candles<\/a> are made using a blend of soy and paraffin as well as other \u201ccosmetic grade\u201d ingredients.<\/p>\n Depending on how you feel about the effects of paraffin, you may not appreciate some of the ingredients used by NEST Fragrances when other brands like Koji stick solely to the cleaner burning soy.<\/p>\n With more than fifty distinct candle scents to choose from, NEST candles<\/a> provide a tremendous assortment of unique smells, many of which are not found among its competitors. These candles come in elegantly packaging that maintains a refined sense of luxury and the scents themselves are some of the best among high-end candle brands. Available in four sizes, it\u2019s one of the few upscale brands to offer so many products.<\/p>\n Bearing in mind that NEST is a luxury fragrance brand, the NEST scented candles<\/a> may not appeal to everyone. The candle holders are simple yet provide little distinction, and the longest burning candles can cost more than $200 while other competitors provide similar results at a fraction of the cost. The company does not state the type of wax used, although a quick search suggests a mix of the less safe paraffin and soy wax, among other ingredients.<\/p>\nNest Candle Sizes & Ingredients<\/h2>\n
