Black Tulip

NEST New York Black Tulip is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. The fragrance settles into a heart of Plum, Violet, Pink Pepper, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on Black Tulip: Statement

A divisive plum-patchouli combo that's either a dark, sexy stunner or a screechy, synthetic mess. It's unique amongst Nest with some proper gothic vibes, but check your skin chemistry first or risk smelling like an 85-year-old church lady.

About

Black Tulip opens with a jammy, dark plum, quickly enveloped by the rich earthiness of patchouli. Hints of tart black cherry and a spicy kick of pink pepper add complexity before a powdery violet drydown emerges, maintaining a moody, slightly sweet character throughout. The overall impression is a deep, fruity floral with an underlying woody warmth.
