The Host’s Signature Scent: Nostalgia by Ourside (Eau de Parfum)
Great hosting starts before the doorbell rings, and scent is one of our favorite ways to set the mood—starting with you. Nostalgia by Ourside is an Eau de Parfum that feels warm, inviting, and effortlessly elevated, like the finishing touch that pulls everything together. It’s subtle, cozy, and “come closer” in the best way—exactly the kind of detail Partytrick hosts love. Consider it part of your hosting ritual: outfit on, playlist queued, and a signature scent that makes the whole night feel intentional.

Why We Love It
Nostalgia is designed to feel familiar yet refined—like a comforting memory wrapped in a modern aesthetic. It wears warm and inviting without being overpowering, which makes it perfect for hosting: guests catch it when you greet them at the door, lean in to chat, or hug goodbye. It’s the kind of fragrance that quietly leaves an impression and gets noticed in the best way—expect to hear, “You smell so good—what are you wearing?” That balance of subtle and special is exactly why it’s a Partytrick favorite.
How to Use It While Hosting
Apply Nostalgia about 20–30 minutes before guests arrive so it settles into a soft, welcoming skin scent by the time the doorbell rings. Spray 1–2 spritzes on pulse points like wrists, neck, or behind the ears (and optionally one light spritz on a sweater or scarf). It’s the kind of fragrance that feels intimate and inviting—something guests notice when you hug hello or lean in to pour a drink.
Perfect for Partytrick Hosts
From dinner parties to casual wine nights, Nostalgia is an easy “host signature”—polished, warm, and never too much. It adds that finishing-touch feeling without changing anything about your setup, and it becomes part of your hosting ritual: outfit, playlist, candles (if you have them), and your scent. If you love hosting with intention and want to feel thoughtfully pulled together, this fragrance checks all the boxes.
