NEST Fragrances | Apple Blossom Reed Diffuser & Candle: Review
NEST Fragrances introduced the beautiful Apple Blossom Collection earlier this year. Not only is it one of my personal favorites from the brand, but it also carries a very special story behind it. NEST founder Laura Slatkin created the Apple Blossom home fragrance collection in honor of her son, David, who was diagnosed with severe autism at a very young age. Laura experiences constant challenges communicating with her son as he is non-verbal but during an apple-picking trip in Upstate New York, Laura felt a real connection with him among the apple trees in the orchard. To commemorate that special and beautiful experience, the Apple Blossom Collection boasts notes of crisp red apples and sweet apple blossom. Additionally, 10% of the purchase price supports the NEXT for AUTISM organization. To read more about this scent, click......
