Madagascar Vanilla

Madagascar Vanilla by Nest is a soft, warm vanilla and coconut-scented oil that delivers a sweet, creamy, and slightly tropical impression. It is best described as a gourmand-leaning fragrance with a dominant coconut presence, paired with a powdery and slightly floral vanilla orchid note that gives it a soft, skin-like character. The scent is linear and mild, with a focus on comfort over drama. The vanilla note is not the true star—it's subdued and balanced against a sharp, slightly synthetic or alcoholic undercurrent by some, though others find a more natural, warm vanilla with a toasted or bittersweet dry down. It sits close to the skin, has moderate projection, and lasts moderately, especially in the initial hours, but longevity is widely considered inconsistent across users. Its strength lies in its versatility for layering with other scents—especially those with vanilla or coconut notes—where it enhances sweetness and depth. It's generally seen as a safe, easy-to-wear option at any time of year, though it’s not universally loved.
