NEST New York Bamboo Classic Candle (8.1 oz)
Braise ratingHighly Recommended
NEST's best-selling scent is a fresh, green floral that makes a bedroom smell like a good hotel suite. It's clean rather than sweet, which makes it an easy one to share.
A vetted pick, chosen for the Braise catalog on merit, never for payment. Here's what earns it a place and who it's for. How we review

How it rates
How we vetted it
We haven't used the Bamboo candle. This take comes from NEST's product page on nestnewyork.com, the Amazon listing for the 8.1 oz Classic Candle, and how a fresh floral scent this size works in a bedroom in the evening.
What works well
NEST calls Bamboo its best seller, and the notes explain why it suits a bedroom. It's built on green notes, lush jasmine, white lotus and hyacinth, with a little sparkling citrus, so it reads fresh and clean rather than heavy or sugary. That makes it a safe pick when two people have different tastes in scent. The Classic Candle is 8.1 ounces and NEST lists up to 60 hours of burn time, which covers a lot of evenings. NEST recently updated its vessel design but says the formula is exactly the same.
Why we chose it
- Fresh green floral that's easy to share
- Jasmine, white lotus and hyacinth notes
- Up to 60 hours of burn time
- Same formula in NEST's new packaging
In your room
Light it on a nightstand or dresser about half an hour before you want the room ready, then turn the overhead off. The scent settles in gently and pairs well with a lamp on a warm bulb. Its clean, fresh profile suits Boutique Hotel Suite, Japandi, Coastal Retreat and Parisian Boudoir best.
