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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Great looking candle and delicious smells. The scents are unique and a little burn goes a long way. Makes your home feel like a boutique! Would definitely repurchase or gift.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why people like the smell of these candles! They are super chic but their original collection smells so odd. I love their collaborations and find that those smell better!

Better scents
Got a set of 3 candles as a gift and love them all. The candles themselves are small but have a pretty long burn time, and melt really evenly. Packaging was really nice as well.
THE it candle. Gorgeous scents, high quality candles with a long burn time. Gorgeous packaging, both of the candle and box. Make amazing gifts, don't know anyone who doesn't love a new Boy Smells candle. Great collaborations as well.

I love everything about Boy Smells, from the branding, to the emails, to the scents. I tend to stick with their best sellers but only because I love them so much. Slow Burn is a cult favorite for a reason- same with cowboy kush and LES. Everything is awesome. They're also inclusive and innovative which is new for a candle company. I've given these candles as gifts more times than I can count.
Cute aesthetic, burns dirty
Feedback
The wick/smoke doesn’t burn clean like other candles of a similar aesthetic. They’ve got some decent scents, and very Instagrammable packaging, but I think they’re a little over-hyped.
I've always loved the packaging and design of the brand, and I was super excited to finally make a purchase after years of knowing and admiring the brand. I was very impressed with the scents and packaging, and had since sent them as gifts. Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves is my favorite.

Nothing comes to mind!
Perfect for gifting. Smells great as soon as you unbox it. Burn time is pretty good too.
fun scents and packaging! Candles look cute as home decor & smell good, too! Kinda expensive, it's not a super essential product for me but they are great for gifts and impressing your boujee family members
Love theses scents almost all. KUSH HAS TO BE MY TOP FAVORITE. it's a bit of a lux candle but worth it.
I've received a trio of mini Boy Smells candles as a gift for two years in a row and they have been some of my favorite gifts of all time. They look super small but the burn time is unreal. The smells are amazing: really good staying power (I can smell them all around my apartment) but not cloying or sweet at all. I burn them for an hour-ish a few times a month and they last at least six or seven months. Each one I burn I decide is my new favorite scent and I would also get a perfume for any of them but I'm particularly obsessed with Cedar Stack and Kush. These also make a great gift because the packaging feels so luxe without being overstated (I can't bring myself to throw it away!).
Really fun brand of candles! I like how there's unique scents that last a long time.
I've purchased Cashmere Kush and Cowboy Kush and both were excellent. Cashmere Kush is really something special; I've never smelt a candle like it. Wish they made them in slightly larger sizes.
OBSESSED with the LES candle. Just. Buy. It.
I love this brand! Such luxury products, my only complaint is the shipping is expensive and living in Florida the candle still arrives melted.

Huge fan of this company! As a luxury candle fan with a smaller budget, these candles are THE IT candle! Much better price point for amazingly curated smells. Candles have a lasting smell and the home sprays last well to match.
I find boy smells way too fragrant to the point that I actually get a headache when the candle is lit. I was disappointed and surprised with the cult following this brand maintains. Cute and trendy concept and packaging. But best for those without a sensitive nose.
