Boy Smells earns largely positive reviews for richly unique, room‑filling scents—standouts include Hinoki Fantôme, Cashmere Kush, Cowboy Kush, Cedar Stack, LES, and Slow Burn—and sleek, giftable packaging. Reviews also flag inconsistencies: tunneling and uneven burns, occasional weak throw or over‑potent scents depending on fragrance, sooting/smoky snuff‑outs, rare vessel defects, and mixed longevity in perfumes, making scent selection and burn care essential.

These candles are pretty pricey
I cannot stop buying Boy Smells candles. Love the unique scents and the look. Love what the brand stands for. I don't really know what it is that makes these candles better than others, but something about the end-to-end experience and brand overall makes purchasing a Boy Smells candle a special moment.

Nothing!!
These are such a great gift! Candles burn evenly and last awhile. I love that their scents are actually strong enough to fill my living room. Figurare is my fave!
I love all the scents, the burn time is really satisfying and it immediately fills the room with a scent.
The grip this brand has on me...... I LOVE Boy Smells. They are hands down the best candles I have ever used. Some may say they are "pricey" but for the strength and quality/uniqueness of the scent they are worth every penny. I love the branding, the packaging, and the cute and kitchy name. The scents are verrrrrry luxurious and there are no dupes on the market (trust me, I've looked.) I also always clean the empty candles to put makeup brushes in and keep them in my bathroom. So cute!

Sometimes my candles do not burn all the way and it makes me feel like I'm wasting a good portion of the wax. I experience this with most candles, but it is something to note if this really bothers you.
Some of the best smells I've ever smelled! Kacey Musgraves candle is the coolest thing ever. Also purchased the kush collection ;)
I've bought candles from them for years. My main issue is their lack of throw. I can never smell them and my house is not that big. That being said I keep buying them, but have mostly switched to Otherland. They recently launched perfume. I bought the discovery set. I forgot my promo code for the credit on a full sized bottle. Then my full sized bottle went missing. Customer service was amazing throughout the entire process. They sell undergarments too, but have never tried. If only the candles throw would be more intense. But the perfume, I adore.

Really good brand!
I LOVE the scents of Boy Smells - they're all very unique. Good burn time, and smells up our whole apartment. A little expensive, but worth it for the quality.

I was really excited to purchase a Boy Smells candle for my boyfriend, as the scent was based on a musician he really likes. Unfortunately, the candle was not high quality, and the (albeit amazing smell) didn't really fill the room, or even the square foot around the candle.
I purchased the exploratory set of the boy smells fragrances and I didn’t feel like any of the scents had strong projection or staying power. Something important to me when buying fragrances (especially due to cost) is how long it lasts.
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!
I’ve fallen in love with the various scents from Boy Smells. I’ve tried their lotions and candles, and what I adore is the combination of a strong yet subtly unique fragrance. Boy Smells truly stands out!
The most delicious scents. We love their brand and how it smells at our home

The banana pudding candle is just delightful. Got it as a gift for my mom who loves the original pudding and she cna't get enough of it. Just so expensive.
Expensive as hell but really neat scents and messages. Totally ideal for gifts. The votives are lovely for reuse, too, because of the metallic sheen.
Good candles that last a decent amount of time. It’s more for decor though.
Received the red head candle (I think) from a friend and was OBSESSED with the scent.
I have only owned a few boy smells candles but I can say with my whole chest - these are so beautifully made and high quality . Very strong scents but not too strong ; just worth the money! My favorite was the slow burn Kacey musgraves collab. I need to get another one soon! 11/10

I recently received a Boy Smells candle as a birthday gift from a friend, and it's been an absolute delight. The scent is rich and inviting, creating a warm, cozy ambiance in my space. The candle burns evenly and slowly, making it last, and the packaging is both stylish and elegant. It's a wonderful addition to my home, adding a touch of luxury and relaxation
