Woodphoria has become my signature scent, it’s so unique, long lasting & I always get compliments when I wear it. Also a huge fan of Hinoki Fantome & Cowboy Kush! I love that they offer a bundle that comes with the full sized fragrance & candle because the candles smell just as good. They burn longer & better than the Le Labo candles & at a better price.

Love the quality of these candles. Make amazing gifts since the packaging especially on the sets is so nice. Feels very substantial and has a good burn time. Fragrance throws for a good size room. Some great seasonal scents, some can be a bit much for me but understand the appeal.

Sophisticated homes scents for very reasonable prices. I have tried 4-5 different candle scents and they have great throw and really fill the room. Slow, clean burn.

Ohhhh, Boy Smells. This is such a splurge for me, but their scents are decadent. I much prefer their candles to their perfumes since I feel that the scent profiles translate more accurately in the candles; however, I do love the Violet Ends perfume. They have an affordable tester kit to find your fragrance, with no gendered advertising or labeling. They’ve also now started doing room sprays and body products, which I haven’t tried, but may indulge in if the reviews looks good!

Okay, so if you’re at all picky about scents, definitely smell in person! I have one candle I love from them, but have found that they can be a bit sneaky with some scents (especially woody ones). My favorite ones are always limited edition, which is a bummer!

Some of my favorite candles. I recently ordered a set of minis, and the set arrived missing two and doubled up on another, but customer service quickly sent me a new set right away and also let me keep the messed up set! LES is a favorite, though all of them smell good! Definitely on the more expensive side but they feel very luxe.

I absolutely love Boy Smells candles! I have tried Slow Burn, LES, and Kush, but Slow Burn is my favorite and has become the signature scent in my home. I would caution that Boy Smells is not for everyone as the scent is quite strong, but if you’re into that, you will love these candles. I think the price point is reasonable for how long the candles last too.

I'm a huge fan of Boy Smells. I've probably burned over 10 candles at this point and always have a few stocked on hand. Their scents are so unique and fill space very well and I love the company's perspective on gender-full fragrance rather than gendered or even genderless. A few of my favorites include the entire Hanoki Fantome range, Polyamberous and Cedar Stack. I've sampled a lot of their fine fragrances as well and really enjoyed them. Boy Smells is doing really innovative things in the fragrance world and it's been a joy to watch them grow over the years. I look forward to being a long-time customer <3

Unique scents that elevate my room! The burn is a bit uneven, but that can be easily solved by wrapping some foil around the candle.
