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.

Candles

Boy Smells earns strong reviews as a distinctive, room‑filling candle and fragrance house with memorable scents like Hinoki Fantôme, Cowboy Kush, LES, Slow Burn, and Cedar Stack, plus chic, gift‑ready packaging that elevates any space. Reviews also flag inconsistencies—tunneling and uneven burns, occasional weak or overly strong throw, smoky extinguish, label/QA hiccups, and headaches or sensitivity for some—so scent selection and burn care matter.

Cowboy Kush conjures the spirit of a rodeo rebel. Hazelnut and white leather give way to cannabis flower and worn suede. Tonka and patchouli base notes add smoothness to the smoky, slightly wild scent. This Boy Smells fragrance knows exactly how to make an entrance.

Beast mode fragrances and candles. A little goes a long way, and not only do the perfumes have quite a bit of projection, they are SO long lasting. Have had very good experiences with the throw and burn time with their candles as well. Luxe packaging.
