Boy Smells creates candles, fragrances, and intimate apparel for all, regardless of gender.

In late 2015, Boy Smells began as an experiment in candle-making in the Los Angeles kitchen of co-founders and real-life partners Matthew Herman and David Kien. Herman and Kien – both fashion veterans who worked in design (Herman) and product development (Kien) – began by making the things they’d want to use on a daily basis, products that were fluid and essential.

Founder-invented scents like Cinderose, a union of rose and smoke, and Gardener, a compilation of tomato vine and honeysuckle, wrap traditionally masculine scents in a prettier bouquet. Burn up expectations, release clear intentions. Boy Smells candles are all developed and designed in Pico Union, Los Angeles with fragrance and natural oils, all-natural coconut wax and beeswax blend. The candles are hand-poured in a reusable glass vessel and hand-labeled in Los Angeles, California.

Currently carried in over 500 retail locations (300 in the US alone), across 37 countries on 6 continents, with over 20 original scents in various sizes and aesthetics.

From routines to rituals, Boy Smells renews the personal care routine by creating rituals from the otherwise mundane experience. These are moments that can be experienced by all.

Boy Smells is appreciated for its unique and captivating scents, long burning time, premium experience, and chic packaging. However, it faces criticism for its high price, disappointing customer service, and overly strong fragrances.

I like their big sizes, their price point, their packaging. Their smells are less refined than a Trudon or diptyque, but that's okay. If you dig you can find refinement - I especially like Broken Rosary for this. 

I like my Boy Smells candle, I just wish that it didn't contain beeswax.

the smell is not that great for a candle. you can find better smelling and cheaper candles at bath and body works 

I love the overall smell. They are so unique has a little bit of muskiness to it.

They smell so good they are honestly the best!🤍

ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED. Smell is great, branding is great, price is great 

I bought a few of these - they smell great. Only downside is I had one that melted to the bottom and I heard a huge cracking sound and it shattered. It didn't do it with the other ones, but made me skeptical to buy more.

Gorgeous candles and packaging, with unique thoughtful scents. A super fun item to gift that feels personal depending on the scent. Khush is one of my favorite scents! 

Love theses scents almost all. KUSH HAS TO BE MY TOP FAVORITE. it's a bit of a lux candle but worth it.
