In a lot of ways we take our perfume spritzing for granted. Think about it. You\u2019re probably like the average woman and have three to five favourite fragrances sitting on your dresser that you rotate between. Some are for your 9 to 5, others for date night and maybe you\u2019ve got a seasonal scent or two. But did you know that back in the 1920s, perfume application was a special beauty ritual that most women carved time out of their schedules for and then fulfilled while sitting at their vanity.<\/p>\n
They\u2019d pick up their bottle with one hand and then squeeze the atomizer with their other hand so that a gentle misting hit all of the right pulse points. And they\u2019d watch themselves do it in the mirror, kind of like the classic day selfie minus the photograph. As for the actual perfume bottles, they were small pieces of art, each one stunningly beautiful with intricate design and shapes, much like Nest\u2019s newest eau de parfum Wild Poppy.<\/p>\n
Like it\u2019s near two dozen predecessors, Wild Poppy\u2019s fruity floral scent is captured in a heavy glass, square-shaped flacon that tapers every so slightly inwards at the bottom and is topped with a matte black cap. While the weight of the bottle alludes to the luxurious quality of the New York-based brand, it\u2019s the background design seemingly floats inside each one that makes Nest\u2019s perfumes feel magical. This juicy blend of pears, apricots and raspberries swirling in a lush pool of jasmine and rose is no exception. The bottle\u2019s design features red poppies with yellow centres swaying on their long green stems against a black backdrop. And when a bottle and the liquid inside it smells and looks this good, it feels worthy of a 1920s spritzing ritual.<\/p>\n
